Spring 1906 Results: The Kaiser's Vacation

Owen Landrey continues to prove his position as the irresponsible Landrey, with his forces in Civil Disorder once again. Germany is now on double-secret probation: No moves will be accepted from them after the deadline.

This turn saw more gains by the juggernaut. With the Germans on holiday and the Italian and British navies far outnumbering their armies, it's going to take a herculean effort by the Western powers to avoid Eastern supremacy.

Moves for the spring:

And the results:


There are no retreats (Denmark and the Adriatic could not retreat and were destroyed).

Moves for Fall 1906 are due Sunday at midnight.

By the way

Why has no one congratulated Bill on his tremendous victory in last months's election?

A slow descent into horror

Let me paint an analogy for you. Once there was talent. Things started on a high point, there were zombies in a music video. Then things went wrong. horribly wrong. If you don't hurry this game along I see a long slow descent into pedophilia and madness. Please, for all our sakes, get this game done. or the consequences could be beyond our worst nightmares.

Winter is Over

The question on every one's mind as we head into Spring 1906 is this: Where is the Kaiser? Two German units have just sort of gotten high and wandered off; will the Kaiser be back to prevent further damage?

Over the winter, Italy built a fleet in Naples while the Russians built an army in Moscow. Meanwhile the German unit in Belgium was disbanded.

That leaves us with this board as we head into the Spring of 1906:


Moves for the Spring will be due on Sunday at midnight. Godspeed!

Winter 1905/1906

Italy retreats from the Ionian to the Tyrhennian, England from Brest to the Channel, and Russia from St. Petersburg to Livonia. Meanwhile Germany failed to turn in moves so his fleet in Holland disbands. This leaves us with:


Time for Winter Adjustments. Please try and get me your adjustments TONIGHT so we can be on track to get moves submitted on Sunday.

The following adjustments are required:
England: 7 supply centers, 7 units. No units to build or remove.
Germany: 3 supply centers, 4 units. 1 unit must be removed.
Italy: 9 supply centers, 8 units. 1 unit may be built.
Russia: 7 supply centers, 6 units. 1 unit may be built.
Turkey: 8 supply centers, 8 units. No units to build or remove.

Fall 1905 Results

Ah, the Fall! Leaves turning, brisk breezes, and wholesale slaughter on the continent.

This fall, Tsar Leo gives his brother a healthy does of brotherly love (pictured), while England proves themselves more than willing to spend the long, cold winter in St. Petersburg. Meanwhile, Italy continues the trend of central European countries moving Westward at the expense of their Eastern fronts, capturing centers in Northern France while the Turks knock on their door in the Mediterranean.

Will the Germans ever again taste the delicious pretzels at the Hoffbrau House? Will the Italians learn to prefer French wines before their own country is eating only Baba Ganoush? Do the English really prefer borscht to pate? Whose cuisine will reign supreme?

The moves:


The results:


The following retreats are due by Tueday (that's tomorrow!) at midnight:
Italy must retreat from the Ionian Sea to the Tyrhennian or Naples (or disband).
England must retreat from Brest to Piccardy or the English Channel (or disband).
Germany must retreat from Holland to the Helgoland Bight (or disband).
Russia must retreat from St. Petersburg to Livonia or Moscow (or disband).

Builds will then be due on Thursday night, with moves for Spring 1906 due on Sunday.

Spring 1905 Results

As the reinvigorated juggernaut pushes its advantage in the East, things are beginning to look bleak for Italy and Germany. With so much trouble on the Eastern front, the two central powers are left with just one direction to head: West. So Italy fortifies his grip on the central Mediterranean while moving into the Atlantic, a move with the clear intent of ending Britain's free ride in Gaul. Meanwhile Germany also takes a familiar trip over the Alps, raising the possibility that France may once again be subject to German occupation while British troops flee over the English channel in whatever boats they can find.

Things are getting very interesting, and many questions are now at hand for next move: With Scandinavia now firmly in hand, what's Britain's next move? Can anything stop the Westward roll of the Russo-Ottoman alliance? Will Italy and Germany enjoy life in France at the expense of their home centers? Will Owen send his moves to the correct e-mail address (youbigfattraitor@live.com)?


There are no retreats. Moves for Fall 1905 will be due on Sunday at midnight.

And then there were 5 . . . 1905 is here

Here is the board for the start of 1905. Moves for Spring 1905 are due on Sunday night at midnight.

Rules are made to be broken

Hey, I made an attempt at a comeback in this game when I was close to being done. Not many of you know this, but there was a death in my family and I was back at home for close to a week and didn't want to hold up the game anymore. I know that I was in civil disorder and if it's to be held against me for this reason, then so be it.

New Rules

I understand your frustration, but I think we should clarify. I think circumstances should play a part. If I am fucked from the beginning of the game throw a tantrum and leave myself in civil disorder out of spite, by all means ban me from the next game. But if I took the week off because of accidental negligence once and finished out the game or had a few missteps along the way I'm not sure it's a fair assessment.
