End-of-1906 recap:

Spring 1907 movement

  • Burgundy cut Marseilles’ support and take Spain with Portugal
  • ENG can poke Brest in case France moves to Gascony to cut my retreat

So this is how I will move:

  • MAO S Por – Spa
  • Por – Spa
  • ENG – Bre
  • Bur – Mar
  • NTH S Den

France

  • Spa hold
  • Par – Bur

  • Con – Bul
  • AEG S Con – Bul
  • Smy S Con

Spring 1907 resolved:

  • Called the stab by Austria on Russia!
  • Russia is being scared now, trying to protect home centres
  • But why does Russia attack Turkey, likely Russia’s only ally now?
  • France giving in slowly but surely

Autumn 1907 movement

  • See if I can also take Marseilles
  • Austria may easily get 15/16 centres; may need to think of stalemate line
  • Which means I may need to take StP before Austria takes Moscow; probably doable if I get two builds this year
  • And maybe I cannot stab Germany freely; the stalemate line needs armies

So this is how I will move:

  • MAO S Spa
  • Spa S Bur – Mar
  • Bur – Mar
  • ENG – Bre
  • NTH S Den

France

  • GOL – Spa
  • Mar S GOL – Spa
  • Par S Bre

Autumn 1907 resolved:

Before builds:

  • Thanks to Austria, I got Marseilles in addition to Spain!
  • And G/R/T realized Austria’s solo run and acted sooner than I expected!
  • Austria may be moving into position to take Marseilles in A1908
  • I’m liking the rogue Russian fleet in EMS now; makes it hard for Austria to fully crack Turkey, and if I were Austria I’m not even sure if I want it disbanded or not
  • I will build two armies so I can convoy to Gascony and Belgium, let’s see builds

Builds

  • France: Disband Gas, GOL
  • Austria: A Vie
  • France: Disband Gas, GOL
  • Austria: A Vie

After builds:

  • Great, France disbanded Gascony and GOL as predicted

My macro thoughts at this stage:

  • Cracking Turkey makes 14 centres for Austria, maybe that is all as Austria may not take War/Sev/Mun that easily
  • I need to set up western stalemate line asap while taking down France
  • Maybe try break into WMS but need more fleets
