1912 | Conclusion | End of Game
England again waived the build. This time, a journal entry was provided. With a couple participants not providing a journal entry at times in 1912 (including myself), I decided to combine 1912 into one post.
Winter 1912 Player Journal
England
Interesting that Austria took Ionian with Apulia instead of Greece. I was hoping he would do it the other way so he would have a supported attack on Naples. I thought it was a mistake for Italy to vacate Ionian and let Austria take it. Now if Austria does attack Italy, there is no annoying retreat behind lines.

Spring 1912 GM Observations
No real change. It seems more and more likely that Austria won’t stab Italy. Heading for a 4-way once E/F accepts it.

Still just waiting to see how
Austria wants to end this.
France
hold the line !!
4-way draw
Italy
England has already started. As Austria wants me to order to Tuscany, I shall. No need to vacate Venice, though.

Austria still showing no signs of willingness to take out Italy. I may need to back out of Tunis and NAf to make it safer for him. I just want to make sure Italy doesn’t pick up Tunis.
France
build stalemate line
4-way draw
Italy
All right; this seems about as far as we’re going to get. E is trying for the three-way, of course, and A will either take it or not. At least Trieste is being left open; I hope A doesn’t my my being in Venice.

Sticking to my guns. I would need a much greater withdrawal from E/F to even consider an Italian move.
I guess this might go on for a while before E&F vote for a 4-way.
