FALL 1916


The new Western Alliance: Germany and England. You know, afte they invaded their former ally France.


A new pact? Can this loose collection of former enemies work together against the Western Alliance?
The F.A.I.T Alliance? The Southern Alliance?

Portrait of another fallen soldier Turkey?



The Balkan region once again becomes a hotbed of activity.




What strategy to take next? How shall we fight agains the South?



Ok, I don't think this is all diplomacizing.



England looks questioningly at the Games Master. What do you think Turkey?




The ghost of Russia laughs at his grave marker with England and Turkey. Germany isn't taing his eyes off the prize . . . Europe.

FALL 1915


The diplomacy period is short - so negotiations are fast and loose. No one seems to trust anyone anymore, and I don't blame them.



FALL 1915
France is invaded by England and Italy. Italy and Turkey have officially regained their boarders and home territory. Germany changes their military colours from black to white.




Life and Death.
This is Diplomacy.


SPRING 1915

Italy France Germany Austria-Hungary . . . what is going on!?!?




The King thinking about Italy taking over the world?

Are these three powers working together? It seems the old alliance system is over.


The Spring moves brings all around the board. This is going to be a good year.




Austria-Hungary getting a sky high view - watching over Italy.



SPRING 1915


FALL 1914

Germay tries to stab the leisurely posed Italy. Let the back (and front) stabbng begin!



It was International Women's Day - and these world leaders were kicking their male counterparts pantaloons.

Austria-Hungary is alone in a sea of sharks. If only the Eastern Alliance made peace with Turkey sooner.


It's a rainbow of nations, but all are marked for blood.



The centre of the map has become an object of great desire. It looks like Italy France and Germany are planning how to carve up Austria-Hungary.


Turkey sketches the destruction. Oh the humanity!



The ghost of Russia watches on. Russia needs blood; they demand revenge!





So many claws reaching for land.


Italy happy at the turn of events.
