Fierce fiery warriors fought upon the clouds,
In ranks and squadrons and right form of war,
Which drizzled blood upon the Capitol.
- Julius Caesar. ACT II Scene 2.
It is a Fall of standoff in the center plus movement in the periphery. In 1904, opportunities will abound. Treachery can only multiply those opportunities.
Turkey is invaded. Two-fold. Yet Russia sees no gains. The Crimea falls. All the while, England advances rapidly in the north. Germany is in the Baltic Sea. And Italy earns a build ??? just in time to welcome French visitors from the West.
There are two retreats. Both Turkish:
F Constantinople retreats to Ankara (unless ordered off the board)
A Smyrna can retreat to Ankara, Armenia, Syria, or off the board.
Assuming no OTB retreats, Winter adjustments will be just the Italian build an Turkish disband:
Austria: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
England: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
France: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Germany: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
Italy: Supp 5 Unit 4 Build 1
Russia: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Turkey: Supp 2 Unit 3 Remove 1
I will be traveling Friday through Monday. So, retreats and builds will be due simultaneously on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. CST.
