DC251 Shadowplay.
Fall 1903. In which all hell’s let loose in the Balkans. Another Bulgarian expeditionary force is annihilated. Austria Hungary is left with more problems than the man with the most problems in the whole of problem land, as Germany, Russia and Turkey all take up arms against him. Meanwhile France tiptoes quietly through the Med and through the picturesque Tuscan landscape (oops! Sorry Frank! I wasn’t supposed to say anything provocative). The English tire of their Norwegian holiday chalet and donate it to the Russians.

GM: The Russian Army in Budapest was dislodged. To keep things moving along I have retreated it to the only available province, which is Galicia. I assume this is OK. Gene- if you would prefer to have disbanded that unit, let me know.
4 files are attached. Two (Fall 03 files) give the position prior to the Russian retreat and the other two (Winter 03 due) give the current position.
The next deadline (Winter 1903) will be 10 pm GMT, Friday 22nd May 2009.
Best wishes
