Final Thoughts

End-of-1903 recap:

Spring 1904 movement

  • Will France cover Gascony? I can move Burgundy to Gascony for guaranteed Brest in Autumn, plus France will have to disband, so that French army will not try for Belgium
  • Can also test if France will cut MAO support with Portugal
  • Will continue support Holland so Germany doesn’t do anything funky; don’t mind GvR going on for longer

So this is how I will move:

  • ENG – Bre
  • MAO – Spa
  • NTH S Hol
  • Bur – Gas

France

  • Por S Spa
  • Spa – Gas
  • Mar – Gas
  • Par S Bre

Spring 1904 resolved:

  • Not surprising defense from France, but the French will still lose Brest in Autumn
  • Bad move from Germany, may lose a centre this year (but not if the German went Kiel instead of Ruhr)
  • Italy basically gave up but then why withdraw GOL?
  • Austria doing good, too good for me

Autumn 1904 movement

  • Taking Brest with MAO, France cannot stop me
  • Somehow I wish to poke Norway but have to cover Belgium with NTH

  • ENG S MAO – Bre
  • MAO – Bre
  • Pic – Par
  • NTH – Bel

  • War – Mos
  • Rum S Gre – Bul
  • BLA – Ank

  • Swe – Den
  • Mun hold
  • War – Liv
  • Rum – Bul
  • BLA – Con

Autumn 1904 resolved:

Before builds:

  • Took Brest as planned
  • Italy gave up for real, very not cool
  • Now Austria is rolling over Italy for free, very not cool
  • Russia made good guesses or else the Russian wouldn’t have gotten Constantinople and would have lost StP
  • Build army at London? Or maybe Liverpool then move to Yorkshire in case need to defend
  • Hopefully Russia doesn’t build fleet at StP(nc)
  • Plan attack depending on France disbands

Builds

  • France: Disband Bur
  • Germany: Disband GOB
  • Russia: A Mos, A Sev
  • Italy: Disband ION
  • Austria: F Tri
  • France: Disband Gas
  • Germany: Disband BAL
  • Russia: A Mos, A StP
  • Italy: Disband ION
  • Austria: F Tri

After builds:

  • Nothing special, although surprised Russia build army at StP instead of Sev
