How about I act as a referee for this game, and everytime someone has unsportsmanlike conduct I give away one of their provinces to the victim

Italy's moves seem to be particularly bold, especially for a country not known to make big moves early on.

interesting to try and guess who's aligned with whom off of the opening moves.  I'm sure the players at least have some idea, hopefully interacted with some of their neighbors and being rebuffed/well received Smiley

     Really? I thought Italy's opening was considered pretty classic by now.

The army switcheroo thing though seems odd, since if Austria stabbed it would cause the move from Rome to Venice to bounce. relatively minor risk of course

Oh damn y'all really let France take this one to the House with that gamble.  Turkey's in great shape as well.   

Is Italy attacking Germany?

why England doesn't move to Norway or one of those seas next to Sev is interesting.  Seems like you'd either hold Sev hostage or just move into Denmark.

England will certainly own Spain by next turn, maybe she just doesn't want to make any unnecessary enemies.

I hope that French fleet invades Northern Russia or Sweden or something.

Seems like Germany might need an ally in Russia for two reasons.

If Austria can't get Germany out, will he abandon his rogue  unit?

I apologize for disrupting the game everyone, but I basically had some wild nights in Berlin and didn't have any internet access.

Pics or it didn't happen.

It'd be an interesting move for Germany to abandon its Southern flank,

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

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.

That can be ended by two of the powers allying against the third.

It's unfortunate that Turkey didn't bank on the civil disorder in Russia. It was somewhat suggested by Lewis' comment after the previous turn, but understandably not a certainty.

Well, he'll still get the supply center and the extra unit, and he may have had an agreement with England to pull away from their shared border.  Not a big loss for a guaranteed shot at turning Moscow yellow.

Italy should have attacked the channel IMO, if he takes Northwestern France he'll have a spot to retreat to and England will have one less unit to throw at him.

But but but... I read somewhere that Moscow adjoins Syria! I wanna retreat to Syria!

Okay. Livonia.

It looks like a short swim from the Moscow province's border, actually, no worse than going from Sweden to Denmark to Germany
