Happy Holidays

Final Results - Spring 1905

The abortion gone wrong that was the spring of 1905 has come to a close

France retreats from Beligum to Picardy

Russia retreats from Rumania to Ukraine

The Italian unit has been moved to where it is supposed to be. (apologies for the mistake)

This Map is the most current now available, happy hunting folks.

Since at least one person has voted to NOT continue to write moves during the break I am inclined to put things on hold until the New Year.

Merry Christmas folks, enjoy this holiday card.

A modest proposal

The last several posts have been entertaining. I know hatred and mistrust of me is widespread. But I am the austrians. and Frankly, there is a reason their country doesn't exist anymore. Hate on Haters.

A question: do we want to keep submitting moves through the break or do people have better things to do than waste their time posting on this blog. I am not insulted to submit my vote. I would enjoy continuing to waste my time. Please check out the new poll, something that is actually being used for a real purpose this time.

For your viewing pleasure: Every invasion of Russia to date has been a success, ask Napoleon, Hitler, the Mongols, the Turks and Rambo. My troops have been nice enough to send some photos from the front, I sent them a free barrell of scnapps for their trouble. I'm sure they won't even need winter uniforms.

Operation "Return To Sender"

It's fun to dream, isn't it?

Quick Clarification

While I'm sure this was an unintentional error on the Arch Duke's part, I'd like to fix a mistake on the board. One of my moves last turn was: Venice -> Piedmont. Tom listed this correctly in the moves below the map but has accidentally moved my army from Venice to Tyrolia.

In other news, for those who didn't bother to read all of the Czar's diatribe, here's a highlight:

"Sorry about the treachery."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

The Updated Map

The map has been updated*

*Disclaimer, this is the Russian Interpretation of the map. Please read the next post. All will become clear.

This game is never going to end!

Please stand by for a message from Russia's Supreme General, the always honorable Mike Tyson.

But first, I am going to make a statement. I'd like to share some exerts from my will, which will probably be read in the next few weeks. Or at least I hope so. I leave to my dear friends in the north, England, a steaming pile of dog shit, because you will gain nothing from me. To Germany, I leave the keys to the Russian Castle. I know that the only thing that would completely piss Tom off would be letting Larry back into the game when he was on the brink of extermination. To France, I leave you a promise that I will conduct a sit down between you and Italy so you could be at peace, and continue fighting your respective foes. To Italy, I'd like to give you some advice, you trusted Tom before, and see where it got you. Trust him now, and see where it gets you. Also, I'd like to discuss your relations with France. Oh, and one more thing, what the fuck are you doing with the fleet in the Aegean? What a waste of a unit. It might as well be an Austrian fleet. I'm putting up an updated map after I'm done with this, special for you Criag. To Turkey I leave Stevastopol and the Black Sea. Tom wants you dead. Now I want you alive. If anything, just to eat him up inside. Sorry about the treachery. And lastly, to the Archduke. What can I say that no one else has said to you? May Larry inherit the world. You'll get no more than Rumania. I'm going to let every other country into my boarders (besides England, they can eat shit), let them run through the Russian interior like cancer. Then, I'll laugh when Italy marches into Trieste this turn. that is all I'll share now.

All the unpleasantness aside, have a nice Christmas and New Years everyone.

And now, Iron Mike.

"I just want to conquer people and their souls."

Thanks Mike.

This game is never going to end
