1901 - 1903: An Illustrated History (National Geographic Edition)

OCTO-TONY

France has wielded its naval power so well that it is well up inside the business of not one but two other players by the end of the third year.

THE RUSSIAN BEAR GOES SALMON FISHING

From the very first year of the game, Austria-Hungry has seemingly done everything in its power to leap right into Russia's gaping maw.

To all my friends...

...I couldn't have done it without my allies.

Fall 1903 Results

Things are heating up! Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey defended themselves skillfully, but the combined forces of France, Germany, and Russia seem to much for them to handle. Will a new alliance be formed to change the balance of power int he south, before they are destroyed?

Retreats are due Thursday at 11:59PM.

The English fleet in the English Channel must retreat to Wales, London, Picardy, or off the board.

The Italian army in Venezia must retreat to Tuscany, Piemonte, or off the board.

The Turkish fleet in the Black Sea must retreat to Constantinople, or off the board.

Spring 1903 Results

While England and France dance in the North and Russia tries to solidify its position in Scandinavia, all hell has broken loose in Southern Europe.

Can Italy and Austria-Hungary stave off destruction at the hands of France, Germany, and Russia? Can Turkey defend itself against its northern aggressor?

Retreats are due on Thursday at 11:59 PM.

Owen strikes again

The above picture of Owen's intentions couldn't be clearer. and according to our pre-WWI map, Georgia is in fact part of the Ottoman Empire. It's amazing that not only did Owen not even pretend to do what he said, he added a heaping helping of betrayal as well. Silesia? really Owen. Did you honestly expect me to let you sit three units on my border and wait for you not to attack. As a teacher I know what evil truly is. and it's getting married this coming fall.

You lanky lanky beast

Clarification...

I submitted a support for Sweden from Denmark. I even sent ina revision to be sure. why is there a Russian unit sitting in Sweden? I thought Denmark was allowed to support Sweden?

Response from Moderator:

This support order failed, becauser the English unit in Sweden moved to Denmark.

From the Diplomacy rulebook: A unit not ordered to move can be supported by a support order that only mentions its province... A unit ordered to move can only be supported by a support order that matches the move the unit is trying to make.

I hope that answers your question.

Winter 1903 Results

The Map:

Mis-coordination between England and Germany, misplaced trust between Turkey and Russia... where do the real alliances lie? One thing is clear: Russia and France are taking advantage of the confusion... but can they fight on two fronts at once? Can either take control of the critical Mediterranean?

There are no retreats.

Builds will be due Wednesday night at 11:59PM.
