Final Thoughts

End-of-1904 recap:

Spring 1905 movement

  • Gambling France will self-bounce Marseilles again by rotating Belgium fleet out for army convoy in Autumn
  • Trying to take MAO, although a retreat to NAO will be annoying

So this is how I will move:

  • ENG S Bre – MAO
  • Bre – MAO
  • Pic – Bre
  • Liv – Yor
  • Bel – NTH

France

  • MAO – Bre
  • Par S MAO – Bre

Spring 1905 resolved:

  • So Italy is suddenly fighting again, although the Italian demise is sealed
  • France is being annoying and may take Brest in Autumn
  • Not sure what Germany was trying to do
  • Austria withdrawing some armies; is the Austrian fearing a Russian stab?
  • Alternatively, if Austria stabs Russia that’s good to me too

Autumn 1905 movement

  • MAO support most likely cut; may as well try for Spain
  • But if France takes Brest it means my convoy to Belgium will succeed
  • Too bad that I cannot spare a unit to take Holland
  • Probs I get punished for being too safe in A1904 by covering Belgium

So this is how I will move:

  • MAO – Spa
  • ENG S Bre
  • Bre hold
  • Yor – Bel
  • NTH C Yor – Bel

Autumn 1905 resolved:

  • My gamble paid off: no build for France still
  • Good that Austria can threaten Marseilles again, some help will be great, then France probably may not retake Spain from me
  • ITALY LEFT, FINE.
  • Russia got pushed back by Turkey is good, Germany now can defend for a while
  • Both Russia and Germany may retreat to Silesia and then Germany cannot rebuild
  • Ideally Russia does not move fleets or else Edinburgh may fall

Builds

  • Austria: A Vie, F Tri
  • Austria: A Vie, F Tri
