The White Flag of Courage

The Italians, having spent perhaps a bit too much time in France, have decided to surrender. But England has a clear a message in return: "We don't want your charity any more than we want your superior motorized schooter technology."

Spring 1911 Results

Flowers blooming. Sun shining. Snow melting. Ottomans raping the residents of Moscow. Spring is in the air! And the Spring of 1911 saw some successes for the Italians, who successfully held back British advances in France while their Navy made progress against the Turks in the East. Their Russian counterparts were not so lucky, as Turkish forces did what Napolean could not and captured the Russian capitol with plenty of time left before Winter.

In the North, the English seem bent on one goal: Hold their gains in Scandinavia and Northern Russia with the hope of getting those last few precious centers away from the Italians in Western Europe. Stopping them may require an alliance between the other three remaining powers, who so far have shown neither the desire nor the capacity for such an alliance.

We may soon all be singing "Rule Britannia!"

Fall 1910 Results

Fall of 1910 brings strong counter-punching on both fronts by the Italians, who are now fighting a war on many fronts. Meanwhile, their Russian allies struggle inside the Anglo-Turkish vice that is closing on their motherland. English forces, despite a setback in central France, are making progress as they sweep to the Southeast in an obvious attempt for the solo victory. Whether British hegemony can be avoided remains to be seen . . .

As Turkey and Russia tr to finish off Turkey in the Southeast, the English use the Spring of 1910 to move into position for their all-out invasion of the continent. Turkey seems to be putting up a strong fight for survival . . . will he hold out until help arrives in the form of British hegemony? Or can Italy and Russia finish him off in time to turn around and face their haggis-eating foes?
