England loses a couple to Russia and France, while Germany continues to spread out… And the Balkans… Oh my… Turkey helps Austria into Trieste, but Serbia gets hit from Russia and Italy… one of the two last Austrian dots fall, tho Gre stays alive due to an invading standoff! Confused?? I sure am! The Turk army in Serbia is destroyed (no retreat possible) and Vienna only has one option – Bohemia – so I’ll just move it there and we move on to the builds.
