I get a chuckle from a few players most turns...

Anyway, here is the map following the retreats (Germany to Prussia, Turkey to Brest)

That Turkish fleet in Northern France could be an unusual asset for a Turkish-Russian war.

Win a few, lose a few. I guessed wrong on Sweden/Kiel.

Copied straight from the Realpolitik update thing (I learnt how to "Save Status" as a txt file, which halved the time it took me to do my update). I'm guessing the programme updates after the retreats.

Strange thing is how it recognizes the possession changes where there are no retreating armies, even though those too are shown in the colors of their former owners in the map.

Or maybe it's the English units in Kiel and Munich that need to retreat. Cheesy

By comparison, Jdip that I use shows the possession changes in both number and color immediately after the fall moves, and modifies them with the fall retreats.

     That's one of the things I like about jDip over Realpolitik. That & the tracking of ownership of each supply center over time, as well as the superior Youngstown map & option of using planes in the Modern variant.

England's fleet in the Mid-Atlantic Ocean retreats to the Irish Sea and Germany's army in Munich retreats to the Ruhr and the German army in Kiel retreats to Berlin.

I believe this will lead to Italy receiving two builds and England receiving one, while the Russians are faced with two disbands.

I'll update the map once I get home from work this evening, people can get back to me with their builds as soon as is convenient.

Fleet on London.

Very curious where Lewis will disband.  Prussia's the obvious one, but what would the other be?

Cheers, PiT, for updating the map for me!

In addition to Mikado's build of a Fleet in London, Germany Russia is disbanding the Armies in Ruhr and Berlin, and Italy is building Armies in Rome and Venice.

Looks like Turkey could take Poland if it wanted to badly enough next turn, but can't hold onto Belgium unless it can ensure that German won't help England

Given that Germany hasn't submitted orders since Spring 1907 (8 turns ago), it seems relatively safe to conclude that Germany will not now suddenly come to life with support.

MAYBE I SHOULD TAKE CONTROL OF GERMANY THEN??

Nah, okay, I guess I was wrong.  My main observation was that Turkey seems well positioned.

Normally you don't see Turkey, Russia, and Italy as three of the last four powers.

I find it interesting that Turkey was able to work against England in the west yet with England in the east.  It seemed like PiT was worried about Vienna tho.

Turkey and Russia are not so unusual late in the game. Like England, their corner positions provide a modicum of protection during the midgame, if they survive the opening moves.
