FALL 1912

There's that Austria-Hungary talking to France again. How are those negotiations going?



Potential peace talks between Turkey and the Eastern Alliance? I'm not counting on it.


Germany studies the board. Should he take it slow or take a risk? Whatever, Germany is back.


The West taking advantage the map.



England and Turkey posing for the camera. Their push on the Eastern Alliance warrants the smiles.


Probing into Russia's dreams . . . devouring Europe.

Games Master makes the moves.


FALL 1912



Austria-Hungary takes a sinister pose. The war is not going as he expected, but I think he has a few tricks left in his sleeve.


Bold evening - Russia takes some hard losses. Turkey sacrifices to an ally to snub the Easter Alliance. England and Germany continue to head East and South. France drives deep into the East. Italy survives another day.

SPRING 1912

The Scramble to get orders in.



The Eastern Alliance studies the big map.


Austria-Hungary delights neutral visitors wit his fancy suit. A suit he wore for the 'funeral' of his enemies.


SPRING 1912



A dramatic end to the Spring. The nations all take it in.

FALL 1911

The Spring was harrowing for some. Russia deep in thought while Austria-Hungary is muscled off the table. Italy is taking it easy while France smiles on. Turkey successfully lives another day.



Germany and England casually study the large map. Their campaign into the East is going well, but for how long?


Austria-Hungary trades in a the spiked helmet for a fedora. Maybe he can use his detective skills to figure out what happened with his order flub? Was it sabotage?



The Kings of Italy are reunited again! Does this mean double the double crossing?


Austria-Hungary needs to lay down to take it all in. Russia just wants to crush Germany. And England. And Turkey. Is that too much to ask for?



Nations gather round the board. Is that the Arch Duke checking things out? That spectre over Europe?


FALL 1911



Oh Italy!


SPRING 1911

The Eastern Alliance is now wooing Germany . . .



The Eastern Alliance is now wooing Italy. They sure do get around the diplomacy scene.



More strategizing on the giant map.


The Western Alliance prepares orders. Perhaps they can eventully help relieve Turkey on the far Eastern front?



SPRING 1911


Is France doing a happy dance or some strange magic ritual against her foes?
