1906 - An Illustrated History

R.I.P.

A DRESS REHEARSAL OF LEO'S THESIS DEFENSE

Zzzzzzzzzzz

This blog has become BORING. Where's the smack talk? The insults? The death threats? The schadenfreude? I may have taken it all a bit too far last game, but if you guys aren't going to impugn each other's honor or delight in other's suffering, then you might as well be playing online bridge.

Winter 1906 Final

Orders for Spring 1907 are due by Monday. Russia was eliminated this year (time for Bill's contribution to the game).

Germany destroys North Africa and Munich. Germany controls 6 centers.
France still has 3 centers.
Austria builds army Budapest. Austria controls 6 centers.
England builds army London and fleet Edninburgh. England controls 9 centers.
Italy builds army Rome and fleet Naples. Italy controls 10 centers.
Russia eliminated.
Turkey eliminated.

Winter 1906 Retreats

To start off Russia could retreat, but he had to destroy his 2 remaining units and did not email in any retreat orders, so I decided to destroy them to move things along. Germany is out of the country for a week and has asked that we hold Spring 1907 until Monday. If anyone has any objections let me know. Germany emailed his adjustments already and as you can see retreated to North Africa. Here are the adjustments needed by Monday.

Austria may build 1 unit.
Italy may build 2 units.
France neither builds nor destroys.
England may build 2 units.
Germany must destroy 2 units.
Russia must destroy his last remaining units, which I did for him to get this map ready.

Fall 1906 Results

This is my first attempt at this ever, let me know if anything is wrong guys.

Italy has asked that retreats not be due until Monday because he is out of town. Since he does not have any retreats I say that they are still due by tonight and I will adjust them for Sunday morning. Winter fall 1906 can wait until Monday when Italy is back, I would like to have those results up Tuesday morning. Then Spring 1907 goes on as usual Friday.
