Final Thoughts
End-of-1907 recap:
Spring 1908 movement
- Convoy to Gascony and Belgium, then set up to take Brest and move to Burgundy for stalemate line
- Tuscany likely going to Piedmont
- Spain should block Austrian fleet from GOL
So this is how I will move:

Spring 1908 resolved:
- Russia stupid enough to think I’m attacking, and even more stupid enough to try sneak into Denmark!
- At least the Russian is smart enough to keep hitting Austria, and may take Naples now
- What does France want? Does France see the need of a stalemate line? Is France ready to support Munich from Burgundy?
- Austria’s move to WMS is not the worst (since Pie – Ven), but not sure what the Austrian wants
Autumn 1908 movement
- Taking Brest might bring my fleets out of position; not sure if I should try for Paris?
- Austria not a threat to me in the south, maybe can turn my attention to Scandinavia
So this is how I will move:
- ENG S MAO – Bre
- MAO – Bre
- Gas – Par

Autumn 1908 resolved:
Before builds:
- What is Germany thinking?! The German would support Russia to dislodge me even if Russia tried sneaking into Denmark!
- Russia is beating back Austria but still harassing Germany
- I will get Paris next year
- Build fleet at London, not as obvious as Edinburgh
- Ideally Russia does not build fleet at StP(nc)
Builds
- France: Disband Pic
- Germany: A Ber
- Russia: A Mos, F StP(nc)
- Austria: Disband Ukr, Pie
- Turkey: F Ank
- France: Disband Pic
- Germany: A Kie
- Russia: A Mos, A StP
- Austria: Disband Ukr, AEG
- Turkey: A Ank
After builds:
- Don’t like the army at Kiel; Germany will be stupid to go for me
- But good that Russia did not build fleet at StP(nc)
- Don’t like Piedmont staying either
Something extra:
- All 5 other powers voted for a draw when there are still 6 of us left, really?!
- Totally surprised—especially Austria; maybe the Austrian is too faint-hearted and could not take that failure to stab Russia?!
- If the 5 gang up on me just for not voting draw, it will really be a shame ; opefully it does not ridiculously happen
- For myself, I don’t feel like drawing until there are only 3 powers left, I think
