I'm not sure how... running into the retreating russians lets me relax. It also gives me the main chance at the rest of Russia, which has to be the plan now.
Fall 04:http://www.dangpow.com/~rat/dip/ec/ecfall1904movement.gif Austria: A Budapest Supports A Rumania F Constantinople - Ankara (*Fails*) A Galicia Supports A Silesia - Warsaw A Rumania Hold A Tyrolia - Piedmont A Ukraine - Moscow (*Disbanded*)
England: F English Channel - Wales A Yorkshire - Edinburgh (*Fails*)
France: A Belgium Hold A Brest Hold A Burgundy Supports A Kiel - Munich A Edinburgh Hold F Gulf of Lyon - Tyrrhenian Sea F Mid-Atlantic Ocean - Irish Sea F Western Mediterranean - Tunis
Germany: A Berlin Supports A Kiel - Munich A Denmark - Kiel (*bounce*) F Helgoland Bight - Kiel (*bounce*) A Kiel - Munich F North Sea - Norway
Italy: F Aegean Sea - Greece F Eastern Mediterranean - Ionian Sea A Munich Supports F Baltic Sea - Berlin (*Dislodged*) A Silesia - Warsaw A Smyrna Supports F Constantinople - Ankara
Russia: F Baltic Sea - Sweden F Black Sea Supports A Ankara - Constantinople A Moscow Supports A Warsaw - Ukraine A Sevastopol Supports A Warsaw - Ukraine
Turkey: A Ankara - Constantinople (*Fails*) A Warsaw - Ukraine
Italy didn't need much convincing. His weird Munich order is because he thinks that just holding is boring. Pissed off Austria, though. The support from France wasn't asked for, but very welcomed. Gave me a clear conscience as well. The bounce in Kiel was Italy's idea (one of his better ones), unlike killing Munich, to get 2 builds...
The building went pretty much as expected. My plan for this move is to start moving north-east. I don't intend to take Sweden this turn, because me may well squeeze through my hole in Skagerrak. That gets plugged in my F05 move, just in time to stop him retreating there.
England is guaranteed to fall in 2 years. Turkey might fall sooner. Russia is next to go after those. I think that to have a chance, I will need at least St Petersburg, and maybe even Moscow as well. So far Austria has dodged all questions about how to split what's left.
After those 3 are gone, I'll start moving south. Warsaw will be my first target, hopefully. But 3 fleets, is a lot to have wasted. I will need to start building armies. All I need to be careful about is timing...
