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.

The Games Master moves fleets and armies across Europe.

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.

What would the Arch Duke say about these turn of events . . .
