End-of-1909 recap:

Spring 1910 movement

  • Guessing Germany will try force Belgium with support; I’m bringing Brest to Picardy so I get into Belgium in Autumn with an army no matter what
  • If Germany forces Burgundy with support instead, I will get into Belgium right away
  • Russia, please continue attacking Germany
  • Not sure what will Tyrolia do
  • Turkey, please stop attacking Russia

So this is how I will move:

  • Edi S Lon – NTH
  • Lon – NTH
  • NTH – Hol
  • ENG S Bur – Bel
  • Bur – Bel
  • Bre – Pic
  • Par S Mar – Bur
  • Mar – Bur
  • Spa hold

  • Smy S Con

Spring 1910 resolved:

  • Called almost every German move plus Russia’s greed, but why Munich to Bohemia?
  • Why Austria move back to Piedmont again?! Not sure what the Austrian wants
  • And then Austria moves Rumania without backfilling?!
  • Austria is quite unpredictable, which may be dangerous later on
  • Russia can hold Tunis this year so Austria cannot build
  • Russia finally making sense by offering Turkey support, hopefully Turkey see it
  • Austria has to pick between retaking Tunis or cracking Turkey with fleets

Autumn 1910 movement

  • May try for Munich; worst case is bouncing both Munich and Belgium, and at least I can block Germany’s army from the frontline
  • If Russia keeps playing greedy, I may as well support the Russian into Denmark; easier to fight Russia later than Germany given Russia only has one fleet active
  • Edinburgh not moving to NWG so as to not spook Russia
  • If Turkey willing to work with Russia, maybe can hold off Austria for longer
  • Piedmont shouldn’t be able to do anything

So this is how I will move:

  • Edi S NTH
  • Lon S NTH
  • NTH S Swe – Den
  • ENG S Pic – Bel
  • Pic – Bel
  • Bur – Mun
  • Mar S Par – Bur

  • Den – NTH
  • HEL S Den – NTH

Autumn 1910 resolved:

  • Russia you are a fool! You have been greedy for so long and on the turn that I decide to support you, you hold!
  • And you don’t even bother blocking Austria’s fleets!
  • Not sure if Austria is foolish or is deliberately sending confusing signals with that army moving between Tyrolia and Piedmont …

Builds

  • Russia: A StP
