Well well, what do we have here? This game one definitely has the impression that the centre cannot hold, as the corner powers continue to make their moves. Burgundy suffers significantly as two new alliances appear to emerge: Spain/Sicily and Poland/Hungary. How Israel and Éire fit into the changing world of geopolitics remains to be seen, while Burgundy, Byzantium, and Ukraine may simply be known as the battlegrounds of the future.
Retreats can be managed simply, so we proceed to the Fall.
Fall 1905 orders due 23 June at 23:00 GMT.
