Final Thoughts
End-of-1908 recap:
Spring 1909 movement
- If Russia and Turkey strike back well, I may have to side with Austria
- Mop up Paris and it’s time to move against Russia
So this is how I will move:
- ENG S Lon – NTH
- Lon – NTH
- NTH – NWG
- Bre – Pic

- Bel – Bur
- Spa S Mar
- Mar S Pie

- Smy S Ank – Con

Spring 1909 resolved:
- I misordered NTH! Intended to move to NWG and backfill NTH
- Good for me: Austria offers peace, Turkey now attacks Russia, Russia greedy for German centres
- Bad for me: Germany trying to ally Russia against me
- Germany may try take NTH and Belgium from me
- Or is Turkey actually moving to defend Russia?
Autumn 1909 movement
- Hold NTH and cover Belgium for now
- If I build at Edinburgh in Winter, I can get into SKA instead of NWG; better leave Russia alone if Russia can draw Austria’s focus
- And if Russia is greedy for German centres, maybe I can roll Germany over
- Russian fleet in BAL keeps Munich busy so I can take Paris with Burgundy supporting
- Picardy to Brest to cover retreat, although I suspect France to bounce
So this is how I will move:
- ENG – Bel
- Lon S NTH
- NTH S HEL
- Pic – Bre
- Bur S Gas – Par
- Gas – Par
- Spa S Mar
- Mar S Pie

Autumn 1909 resolved:
Before builds:
- Called the attack from Germany!
- Russia is simply after German centres while trying to guard Norway from me; don’t think Germany changed the Russian’s mind
- Turkey is stupid to attack Russia instead of holding Austria off together
- Austria withdrew draw vote; probably planning to try for solo
- Not sure why Austria took Naples with ION; now Russia may keep the fleet to take Tunis and harass Austria (which is good for me)
- Build fleet at Edinburgh
- Austria not enough centres to build two
- Hope Russia does not disband TYS, and T builds fleet at Smyrna
Builds:
- Russia: Disband TYS, BAL
- Austria: A Tri
- Turkey: F Smy
- Russia: Disband Nor, BAL
- Austria: F Tri
- Turkey: F Smy
After builds:
- Russia kept TYS and Turkey build Smy as hoped!
- Russia disbanding the north means German can fully commit fighting me …
- Austria basically cannot crack Turkey without sending another fleet
- Austria’s fleet is supposedly to get rid of Russia’s fleet, but will make it harder for me to attack the Med later
Something extra:
- Austria voted draw again; is the Austrian discouraged by Turkey’s defensive position?
- As long as Russia and Turkey fight each other, don’t think Austria will attack me
- No point drawing now, since if Austria cannot crack Turkey before I gain upper-hand against Germany, I may have higher solo chances
