Fall 1903: NMR from Austria. What is going on at the Austrian court?
Has the Emperor gone missing? Or has chaos taken over?
No orders thus means the end for Vienna. Austria keeps it just one SC, and only because the Italians and the Turks cancel out eachother's attack on Greece. Some have suggested Austria must have played both Powers to pull this off.
But let's take a look at the French: at first it seems that they have their act together but a closer examination of their orders leaves analysts wondering. Why support Belgium if it was ordered to move? And why the support from Italy for the army in Burgundy moving to Munich if it is Ruhr that was ordered to attack Munich with the support from Burgundy? Perhaps it's just a language thing, in which case the Flemish in Belgium must have misunderstood.
Now take Germany: with no support against the French or the Italians he has only the cleverness of his Kommandanten. And they have given an exceptional strong set of orders. It is his luck though that the French/Italian combination didn't work out as expected or else Munich would have been lost.
The English, Germans and Russians are also engaged in fights over Norway, Sweden and the North Sea. Interestingly, Russia's attack on Norway bounces with Sweden's move to Norway, and as a result Denmark bounces with Sweden. Just imagine what would have happened had Russia not attacked Norway. I bet the English have send the Russians a Thank-You note.
No retreats.
