1904
Double round of Diplomacy! 2 years in one night. This is going to be exciting.
The nations gather once again around the board. What moves will they make? What alliances will be tested? What enemies will be made?
Austria-Hungary contemplates their manuevers while his Russian ally laughs on - what does he know?

France solitarily plans. Interesting . . .
The Dual leaders of Turkey try to figure out how to survive another day, with one of the Italian Kings look on.
Curiouser and curioser.
Europes powers gather to make their moves.
The hand of Italy shadows the board. Italy is attacked by France. Franch supports her allies nemesis to help take Germany. Britain and Germany try to secure the North while Germany suffers against the loss of the Fatherland. Turkey continues its struggle against Russia and Austria-Hungary.
The German-British alliance continues to hold out. Can they fight off Russia and now Austria-Hungary? Can they keep their gains in Russia?

Fall 1903
Spring 1903 brought about some very interesting moves. The tides of war are changing though.
Turkey goes high tech using Germany's portable command centre. Germany is working with Turkey right? He's not casually spying is he?
The Russian/Austria-Hungarian alliance goes to their usual base of strategy. Working together against Turkey, they plot to dominate.

Austria-Hungary attacks Germany and Italy! Meanwhile their maneuvers with Russia against Turkey are thwarted - Turkey takes a chance and prevails for another year. Russia maintains its siege on Berlin, but loses to joint German/English assault on Sweden. Italy faces enemies on both sides as France and Austria-Hungary seemingly carve up the boot.
Neutral observer Chris is shocked by the bloodshed and extremely complicated moves.All nations contemplate the difficult moves in the Scandinavian regions. Technicalities and the rules of war confound Russia, while England and Germany celebrate a hollow victory that cost too much. Everyone watches the shocking developments and wonder if such a situation could happen to them.
The progress of the war is slow. The balance of power has shifted. Battles have been lost, but the war is far from over.Europe stands in shock. While the battle lines barely moved, there is a great sense of loss. The mood is heavy. The leaders of these seven nations of the war retreat for the winter to regroup, rethink, and plan out success for 1904. It has been a long night, and the first real blood spilt. There are no celebrations and no end in sight.
Spring 1903
Negotiations were furious. Nations scrambling to protect borders while others strategize to cross those borders. All in all, more blood is shed.
Once again, Greece is a matter of contention as Austria-Hungary's navy slips into the Ionion, but still prevents Turkey's valiant attempts to break out of the Medieranian. The Triple Alliance of France/England/Germany works well as it pushes East in the South, and defends it's middle and top from Russia's bite. Italy sees sharks all around . . .
