Current game state [Spring 1910] Game over - four way draw [We're using the Milan variant, not the original map. The changes are minor, but make Italy a bit stronger than in the vanilla game. It needs it.] Each player plays one of the major European powers. Each is evenly matched. Each turn, players submit a set of orders for their units secretly, and those orders are resolved simultaneously. There's no random element here: the only way for an army or fleet to come out on top against another is for it to have help. If you want to beat up on your neighbour, you better get your other neighbour to help. Each game year is divided into four seasons: Spring, summer, fall, winter. Spring and fall are main phases, where you'll order your units to move. Summer and winter are adjustment phases, where we clean up after the main phases. At the end of each year, we also have to adjust the number of units - each supply centre (the provinces with black dots) can support one unit, so players will build/disband units accordingly. The win the game, a player must individually control a majority of supply centres. The game can also end in a draw if the remaining players unanimously agree to it. Players with no supply centres in winter get eliminated. If you don't know how to play, this is a good place to start. You'll want to learn the different types of orders (Move, support, convoy, hold), how supporting works, and the general format to submit orders and how they'll be resolved Here's the official rulebook, which goes into much more detail and where you can learn about the Kiel canal. You probably don't need to learn about the Kiel canal, but it won't hurt! [I won't be a jerk about orders being Properly Formatted as long as your intention is clear, of course] Turns will last 48 hours ish, with retreat/build phases being 24 hours ish. Orders will be PMed to me directly. You may submit multiple sets of orders, only the most recent will be taken into consideration. [Make sure to submit orders for all units each time though, no partial order sets] Usual toxx/bet/no editing posts/don't be a jerk rules apply. Full out of thread communication is allowed. No copy-pasting chat logs, that's boring. No spectator posts commenting on the game/player strategy.  Player list: 1. 2. 3. Tremendous Taste | Italy 4. Somberbrero | Turkey 5. bowmore | Russia 6. Mills | England 7. Hal Incandenza | Austria Pinterest Mom fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Mar 5, 2015 |

Juggernaut is definitely likely here, Turkey and Russia obviously have some understanding for Turkey being willing to put fleets in the Mediterannean so early. I'm pegging Russia for being at the current disadvantage. Taking Vienna casts him in a scary light, and an army in Finland means he's willing to resolve the Scandinavian issue by force rather than negotiation. Builds in Warsaw and Moscow indicate he's going to be pressing south and putting more pressure on Austria, and potentially Germany very soon. The fleet in Rumania is going to be dead weight until the eventual stab against Turkey, and it's pinned there until Austria is put down for good.
Italy is in a unique position. Normally the player in Rome has a few more turns to shore up the Mediterranean, but Turkey and France have already put fleets out. Though I think it is important to note that the SC in Milan does quite a lot to make a dangerous position slightly more tenable, and helps move Italy further West in a sense. Because of that, keeping Austria alive becomes that much more important. I would take a more antagonistic stance towards France, Germany will definitely be needing your assistance soon.
France is just... whoof. It's obvious you're gearing up against Germany, and Germany's going to be a bit of a nut to crack. Neither of you are in proper position, but you have the advantage of not having as many fronts to fight on... not yet at least. Breaking into Italy's going to take some doing as well, and you'll need both fleets in the Med if you want to accomplish it with any reliable speed. And as always, three builds paints a target on you. Keep talking to England, he's going to be kingmaker in the F/G conflict.

Two hours to get your moves in! Viewers: I'll get a Google doc set up where we can talk/comment about the game privately as soon as I have the time - probably tomorrow.
