DC251 Shadowplay.
Fall 1901. In which the English decide that Scandinavia would make a good setting for a winter holiday. The Tsar’s planned summit with the Kaiser in Berlin goes awry when he is refused a visa. The French and Germans get all cooperative in Belgium. Turkey and Russia get stroppy in Rumania. The Austrian belatedly annexes half of the Balkans.
The adjudication begins with an apology to Matthew. He did submit orders on time (in fact his were the first to come in), but I lost them. Hopefully this aberration will be my only mistake in the game, and my usual efficiency will be applied to the rest of our time together. On with the moves:
