As our first year draws to a close, the powers are still consolidating their hold over their respective territories, and war has not reared its ugly head.  China is the big winner in 1870, doubling in size.

a costly turn of events at this early stage. Deadline for Winter is Septemper 25th.
I'll normally give about two days for build phases, but I'm giving an extra day here as it's the first one.  Britain: 6  (0)
