I would agree to peace, on one condition.

Peace is reasonable.  But the barbarians demand blood.  Allow me to be bold and ask that we first eliminate France.  If we split the centers, it can all be over very quickly.  One to England, one to Italy.  If we killed off one Landrey brother we should probably finish what we started and kill the other one too.  What say you Italy, Austria, and England?

Peace!

Barbarians of the North,

Sultan Mullane is long dead.  The Czar's are beginning to rot and French ruler seems destined to follow.  Perhaps enough blood has been shed and it's tmie to declare peace?

I see little room for victory for any of us but great oppurtunities may await to make fun of people in the next game.

Sincerely,

Arch-Duke Barnard

Winter 1907

Germany disbands army Burgundy
Austria builds army Vienna
Italy disbands fleet Apulia
England builds Army Liverpool and London and fleet Edinburgh

Math Lessons

"Trieste, Budapest, Vienna, Ankara, Romania, Serbia and Warsaw (8)"

You've only named seven centers.

Hopefully this means you can't count to 18.

Who controls what

Since there is a bit of confusion over the builds and disbands I thought I would put an updated list of who controls what center.


France controls Portugal and Marseilles (2)

Germany controls Munich, Denmark, Paris and St. Petersburg (4)

Austria controls Trieste, Budapest, Vienna, Ankara, Romania, Serbia and Warsaw (7)

Italy controls Venice, Rome, Naples, Tunis, Bulgaria, Constantinople, Stevastopol, Greece and Smyrna (9)

England controls London, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Brest, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Kiel, Berlin, Moscow, Norway and Sweden (12)

Fall 1907 Final

Results: Perhaps there is some error with Austria, the program I use says he can only build 1 unit even though he gained 2 since last year. If anyone has an idea of why that is, let me know, because all I do is use the program. Builds are due Sunday night.

Italy retreats to Stevastopol

Italy controls 8 centers, Italy must destroy 1 unit

Germany controls 4 centers, Germany must destroy 1 unit

France controls 2 centers, France neither builds nor destroys

England controls 12 centers, England may build 3 units

Austria controls 8 centers, Austria may build 1 unit

Fall 1907 Results

Well there was no moves orderded for France so in the spirit of keeping the game moving, and I recieved no word from him that he needed extra time I proccessed the moves in the late morning as usual. After all we did this to Russia. Italy has to retreat to Stevastopol or disband that unit. His retreat is due tonight, then builds will be due by Sunday night.

1906 - An Illustrated History

R.I.P.

A DRESS REHEARSAL OF LEO'S THESIS DEFENSE

Zzzzzzzzzzz

This blog has become BORING. Where's the smack talk? The insults? The death threats? The schadenfreude? I may have taken it all a bit too far last game, but if you guys aren't going to impugn each other's honor or delight in other's suffering, then you might as well be playing online bridge.

Winter 1906 Final

Orders for Spring 1907 are due by Monday. Russia was eliminated this year (time for Bill's contribution to the game).

Germany destroys North Africa and Munich. Germany controls 6 centers.
France still has 3 centers.
Austria builds army Budapest. Austria controls 6 centers.
England builds army London and fleet Edninburgh. England controls 9 centers.
Italy builds army Rome and fleet Naples. Italy controls 10 centers.
Russia eliminated.
Turkey eliminated.

Winter 1906 Retreats

To start off Russia could retreat, but he had to destroy his 2 remaining units and did not email in any retreat orders, so I decided to destroy them to move things along. Germany is out of the country for a week and has asked that we hold Spring 1907 until Monday. If anyone has any objections let me know. Germany emailed his adjustments already and as you can see retreated to North Africa. Here are the adjustments needed by Monday.

Austria may build 1 unit.
Italy may build 2 units.
France neither builds nor destroys.
England may build 2 units.
Germany must destroy 2 units.
Russia must destroy his last remaining units, which I did for him to get this map ready.

Fall 1906 Results

This is my first attempt at this ever, let me know if anything is wrong guys.

Italy has asked that retreats not be due until Monday because he is out of town. Since he does not have any retreats I say that they are still due by tonight and I will adjust them for Sunday morning. Winter fall 1906 can wait until Monday when Italy is back, I would like to have those results up Tuesday morning. Then Spring 1907 goes on as usual Friday.
