Final Thoughts
End-of-1901 recap:
Spring 1902 movement
- Liverpool – IRS to force MAO in Autumn
- Bounce Russia at Norway, ideally Norway and Sweden stay neutral for as long as they can
- Need to crack Burgundy, hopefully make the right guess to support Ruhr
- But Germany may move Munich and take Holland with Ruhr in Autumn
- If Italy cuts support at Marseilles, Belgium can support Ruhr to Holland
So this is how I will move:
- NTH – Nor
- Liv – IRI
- ENG – MAO
- Bel S Kie – Hol
France
- Por – MAO
- Bre – Par
- Bur hold
- Mar S Bur
- Spa – Gas

Spring 1902 resolved:
- Not too surprised by France, but definitely surprised by Germany. Moving troops away from French line?!
- Silly Austrian fleet build spooked Italy to back off from France, bad for me
- Germany may take both Norway and Sweden in Autumn, bringing the German to 7
- What’s with Turkey’s Smyrna fleet build if Turkey attacks Russia?!
- Why is Austria attacking everyone?!
Autumn 1902 movement
- Ideally Germany support Belgium but cannot take the chances especially if I’m likely left to fight France alone . May as well hold with NTH; not the worst if Germany fights Russia
- Supporting myself into MAO; potentially can take Brest next year
So this is how I will move:
- ENG S IRI – MAO
- IRI – MAO
- NTH S Bel
- Bel S Hol
France
- Por – MAO
- Gas – Bre
- Bur – Bel
- Pic S Bur – Bel
- Mar – Bur
- Por – MAO
- Gas – Bre
- Bur – Bel
- Pic S Bur – Bel
- Mar S Pie

- BLA S Con – Bul

Autumn 1902 resolved:
Builds
- Germany: A Kie, A Ber
- Russia: A War
- Austria: A Bud
- Germany: F Kie, A Ber
- Russia: A War
- Austria: A Bud
- Russia is going to overextend itself by attacking Germany, plus no point showing intentions in Autumn
- Although I will worry less about Russia’s 2 fleets
- Why is Austria attacking Italy and Turkey at the same time? That’s likely a R+A v I+T
- Italy moving west is good to me, but moving now is not
- What’s with the Kiel fleet build? Ideally going to BAL, but 3 fleets is annoying for me to deal with later on
- If Germany fights Russia and Italy get pulled by Austria, I’m back to 1v1 France which is bad
