Fall 1909 Results

1909 saw England emerge from the pack, as British forces consolidated holdings in the North and, in a stunning betrayal of Italy, struck into Northern France to wrest centers from Italy's Western flank even as Italy and Russia had some success against the now retreating Turks.

Can England be stopped? Or is Bill on the way to a triumphant solo victory?

The moves:

Spring 1909 Results

Winter's that was fast in 1909, with things really heating up in the Spring as alliances crumble and shift. Stymied in their war against the British, the Russians partner with the Italians to destroy their Turkish ally's unit in Vienna. The Italians, sensing the threat of British betrayal, bring more units into Southern France. And with British naval units moving into place for a North Sea convoy while their infantry marches into Northern France, Italy's worries appear well-founded.

Turkey, who once appeared to be the strongest power on the board, is now in a perilous position as enemies appear to surround him. Meanwhile it's not clear that anyone can stop the Royal Navy from claiming it's rightful dominion over the water's of Europe. What will happen in the Fall?

The Moves:


The Results:


There are no retreats (the dislodged unit in Vienna was forced to disband). Moves for Fall 1909 are due Wednesday at midnight so we can get two moves in this week.

1908 - An Illustrated History

THIRD TIME'S A CHARM

"Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away."

WHOOPSIE WAGON

Fall 1908 Results

Fall 1908 may be remembered as the turn in which England and Italy finally turned the tide on the Juggernaut, capturing centers and moving battle lines in both the Northern and Southern arenas. Italy's sly retaking of Venice in 1907 was successfully converted into the sacking of Trieste from the Turks, while England's Scandinavian accomplishments finally paid off with the captures of Russia's northern port. England and Italy may now be poised to wipe the Juggernaut off the map . . . if their alliance can hold. But perhaps an Eastern Diplomat with the right offer . . .

The moves:


The results:


The following retreats are due ASAP (no later than midnight Tuesday):
Russia: The Russian army in St. Petersburg must retreat to Moscow or off the map.
Turkey: The Turkish army in Trieste must retreat to Vienna, Serbia, or off the map.

Spring 1908 Results

Spring 1908 saw the Italians push their advantage in the South (after their brilliant capture of Albania last fall) by retaking their home city of Venice while holding their position in the Med. Meanwhile in the North, England deftly eliminates a Russian fleet as the pressure on St. Petersburg intensifies. Perhaps the Anglo-Italian alliance has what it takes to turn back the juggernaut?

The Moves:


The Results:


The fleets in Venice and Finland were both forced to retreat off the map, so there are no outstanding retreats. Moves for Fall 1908 will be due on Sunday at midnight. Thank you all for your promptness in getting this additional move done quickly!
