Final Thoughts

End-of-1910 recap:

Spring 1911 movement

  • I will try support Russia into Den once more; hopefully the Russian reacts to my signal
  • Don’t think Austria will support me into Mun, I am getting into Bel then
  • Let’s see where the new Russian army is going to

So this is how I will move:

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

France defeated

Germany

  • Hol – Bel
  • Ruh S Hol – Bel
  • Boh – Mun
  • Den – NTH
  • HEL S Den – NTH
  • Hol S Ruh – Bel
  • Ruh – Bel
  • Boh – Mun
  • Den S HEL – NTH
  • HEL – NTH

Russia

  • Swe hold
  • War – Gal
  • Ukr S War – Gal
  • Mos S Ukr
  • Tun hold
  • StP – Fin
  • Swe – Nor
  • War – Sil
  • Ukr – War
  • Mos – Ukr
  • Tun – TYS
  • StP – Mos

Italy defeated

Austria

  • Vie S Gal
  • Gal S Bud – Rum
  • Bud – Rum

  • ION S TYS – Tun
  • Vie S Gal
  • Gal S Bud – Rum
  • Bud – Rum
  • Ser S Bud – Rum
  • Bul S Bud – Rum
  • AEG S Bul

Turkey

  • BLA S Sev – Rum
  • Con hold
  • Smy S Con
  • Sev S BLA – Rum

  • Con – Bul
  • Smy – Con

Spring 1911 resolved:

  • Austria is surely sneaky; now I may have to worry about Austrian fleets
  • The Russian still did not react to my support, but at least the Russian is moving armies against Germany now
  • I can hopefully spare some units to deal with Austria

Autumn 1911 movement

  • Maybe cover Marseilles with Spain so I don’t lose my hold at Burgundy
  • If Munich is busy defending Berlin, maybe I can gamble and force Holland
  • Is Russia smart enough to block Austria at GOL? Don’t think so

So this is how I will move:

France defeated

Germany

  • Hol S Ruh – Bel
  • Ruh – Bel
  • Mun – Ber
  • Den S HEL – NTH
  • HEL – NTH
  • Hol – Bel
  • Ruh – Bur
  • Mun S Ruh – Bur
  • Den – NTH
  • HEL S Den – NTH

Russia

  • Nor – Swe
  • Sil – Ber
  • War – Pru
  • Ukr – War
  • Mos – Ukr
  • WMS – GOL
  • Nor – Swe
  • Sil – Gal
  • War S Sil – Gal
  • Ukr S Sev – Rum
  • Mos – Sev
  • WMS – GOL

Italy defeated

  • Vie – Boh
  • Gal S Rum
  • Rum hold
  • Ser S Rum
  • Bul S Rum
  • AEG S Bul
  • Tyr – Pie
  • Pie – Mar
  • TYS – GOL
  • Tun hold
  • Vie – Boh
  • Gal S Rum
  • Rum S Bul
  • Ser S Rum
  • Bul S Rum
  • AEG S Bul
  • Tyr S Vie – Boh
  • Pie – Mar

  • BLA S Con – Bul

  • Smy – AEG
  • Sev hold
  • BLA S Sev
  • Con S Smy
  • Smy S Con

Autumn 1911 resolved:

Before builds:

  • Russia’s greed, and the mistrust between Russia and Turkey, are driving me MAD!
  • But at the same time Russia did not try for Berlin…
  • Surprised Germany did not see the attack on Holland; it’s Autumn after all
  • Russia blocked Austria at GOL! Can I trust Russia more? Let’s see disbands
  • If I don’t lose Marseilles, Austria cannot do anything to me yet
  • Too bad I cannot vacate London; will build army in Liverpool and convoy later

Builds

  • Germany: Disband HEL
  • Russia: Disband GOL
  • Austria: A Vie, F Tri
  • Germany: Disband Den
  • Russia: Disband War
  • Austria: A Bud, F Tri

After builds:

  • Russia kept on surprising me; is GOL used against Austria or me? Rogue fleet trying to move to TYS can be powerful
  • Another fleet from Austria can be troublesome, but if I can kick Germany away from Burgundy maybe I can secure Marseilles
  • Good that Austria and Russia are stalemated at around Galicia, and Austria cannot move units away from Turkish front yet
