Game 4 - An Illustrated Summary

THE FALLEN

"Time and chance happen to them all" - but mostly to these guys.

THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY

The ruins of the Italian and Russian empires are now on display in the British Museum.

THE CLUTCH ALLY

Craig rescues Bill from an ugly stalemate, and by doing so narrowly escapes elimination.

THE ENLIGHTENED DESPOT

Bill, on vacation from conquering Europe, inspects the progress of his PEACEFUL, CIVILIAN nuclear program at an underground bunker in Natanz. If you think that I'm working too hard on my vacation, please note the comfy blue slippers.

Great game everyone! Also, huge thanks to Josh for taking the time to moderate.

Rule Brittania

With his capture of Marseilles in Southern France and the Russian capitol city of Moscow, England successfully made 1912 into the year when British hegemony was firmly established. Bill's victory makes everyone else involved in the game "a loser."

Congratulations, Bill!

Here is the final map (Note the dark blue units spread across Northern Europe):

Spring 1912 Results

The Spring of 1912 brings us one step closer to the end of the game. As the Russo-Italian vice closes in on Turkey, the Ottomans throw one last "screw you guys, I'm going home" in the face of their enemies by attempting (and failing) to get the Union Jack flying above the walls of Moscow. Meanwhile, in the West, the British climb another step closer to hegemony, broaching the question: Will there be a 1913?

Here are the moves:


And the results:


The unit in Bulgaria had no where to retreat and was disbanded. There are no other retreats.

Let's try and keep things moving. Moves for Fall 1912 will be due at midnight tomorrow (Wednesday). Please let me know ASAP if this is a problem for you.
