Episode 11 - Der Deutsch Doppelstab, in which Germany plays a two-sided game, and comes out a winner.
Highlights:
England and Italy are beating the bejeezus out of each other in Iberia, but at the end of the turn none of the battling units have changed position.
Turkish fleets resist the lure of easy spoils and sail past the open ports of Tunis, Rome and Naples.Germany likes Russia. Witness the support for A Galicia into Vienna.Germany hates Russia. Witness the eviction of the Russian A Moscow.Turkey develops a sudden allergy to Sevastopol, creating a void quickly filled by the fleeing Muscovites.And England quietly moves into position in Livonia. Perhaps Moscow's fate
remains uncertain yet?What will we see in the Fall? Will old alliances hold fast, or will we see temptation prove too much for one or more of our noble diplomats?
Tune in Thursday for our next thrilling episode!
RETREATS:
We have two retreats, and each retreat has only one option, so I'm going with the auto-retreats.
Turkish A Vienna retreats to Russian-owned Budapest.Russian A Moscow retreats to Turkish-owned Sevastopol.
Either player may, if they desire, change their retreat to OTB (off the board) by notifying me of that decision by 18:00 tomorrow.
NEXT DEADLINE: Fall 1906 orders are due Thursday, March 1, by 18:00 Eastern
time.
Cheers,Chris
