An interpretation of the Results

Istanbul....once Constantinople....now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, why did Constantinople get the works? That's no body's business but the Russians

In the east, the stalemate continues but not for long. With French Fleets crawling up Craig's backside and Austrian Units continuing their assault from the front, Craig's Christmas may be getting very warm indeed. Owen is far too trusting, and while I don't know how he was clever enough to get a picture of my first period class, I will be looking into it.

In the West, Larry shows us once again why he is the only person from Greeley who will ever recieve a college recommendation from me. Bouncing the English and holding off uncoordinated attacks by the Russians, French and Brits, he maintains control of all four of his supply centers. Bill Gerrard's Armies meanwhile made their trip across the Atlantic for nothing and went back to Scotland to eat blood sausage. Fight on Larry.

No reteats or builds

Moves for the Fall of 1904 are due next Thursday by 9pm.

Since there has been limited activity of late...

I will include a picture of Tom's students, blatantly not paying attention to him:


And with that I bid you happy hunting for the 1904 season.
A good vintage, it can be assured.

Current Information

Current Information: (As of November 22nd, 2:30am)

Moves are Due for the upcoming Spring of 1904 by Thursday at 9pm on November 29th (Next Week)

The Following countries have not yet submitted moves:

Italy, Germany, Austria, France, Russia, Turkey, England

Analysis: A WW I style deadlock is gripping the eastern front. Russian and Austrian Forces continue to grapple with the Turks and Italians with neither side making much headway. French Troops look to join the fray against the Italians. The English continue to make headway across the German coastline as the Russian, French, and English Triple Alliance attempts to complete it's goal of destroying Larry. To his credit, he has held you ALL at bay for the better part of 2 years. Despite having no allies and no help. I would contest that any other player put in his horrible position would have folded like a bad lawn chair by now. Fight on Larry, you may tip the balance of power one way or another, or, god help us, pull a Mullane and stay in the fight.

Listen to the advice in the picture, we all need to be more trusting. Let's take a chance and go for the gold.

Winter Adjustment Phase 1903 Completed

Builds so far

Germany - Destroys Army Picardy

Russia - Destroys Fleet Sevastapol

Austria - Builds Army Budapest

Italy - Builds Fleet Rome

Turkey - Builds Army Smryna

England - Builds Army Edinborough

France - Builds Fleet Marsailles

It is with deep apologies that I vow not to post these piecemeal again. The whole point of submitting builds in secret is so that those who wait till the end don't get to "react" to what others do. In my haste to post I jumped the gun. It won't happen again. In the future, no builds will be discussed by me until after all are submitted and all are posted simultaneously.

Submit Builds!

Pictured Left is the man who has been hunting Bill Gerrard for speeding for the majority of his adult life.

In the South - Coordinated Efforts by Turkey and Italy (shudder with disgust) have borne fruit for the elf in the form of a build and good position. While the three of us spar, Austrias Big Brother and source of it's puppet government being their invasion of Turkish soil. It looks to be a costly stalemate.

In the East Russian and English Units have siezed control of German ports. It doesn't look good for larry, and only a miracle could save him now.

In the West, France has finally pulled his act together and has taken control of the napping spainards. His next target? The Italian Menace? the Austrians will bake them as many crumpets as they can eat if French units manage to break through the Elf Front.
