And we're off!
Europe shudders as millions of troops mobilize for war and the seven great powers take their first steps on the path for supremacy. In the West, English fleets set sail for northern waters while an army gathers men and supplies on the East coast. France seizes Spain and looks to threaten the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, while also moving into the Burgundian heartland. German fleets occupy Denmark and armies mass on the border of the Low Countries. Russian forces have been deployed to the North and threaten smaller Scandinavian powers, while the first blows of the war are struck between Czarist sailors and Austrian soldiers in Rumania. In addition to moving on Rumania, troops from Österreich-Ungarn have entered the border province of Galicia and seized the tiny Mediterranean country of Albania. Elsewhere in the Balkans Turkish troops have occupied Bulgaria, while the Black Sea has remained free of military forces. In the central Mediterranean Italian troops are enjoying themselves in the Tuscany countryside while their Navy counterparts have set forth from the port of Naples.
