disbanded units

Since England's disbanded fleet in the North Sea has come back to life can we have our armies in Finland and Sevastopol too?

rumour

The Imperial Russian Press Office strongly denies the rumour that Disputin was spotted buying two one way tickets to Vladivostok.

No need for to concern yourself, Master Disputin. My troops would be quite happy to watch over those territories for you.

1904 Spring orders.

Austria-Hungary
Quote:
Army Galicia supports Army Romania.
Army Ukraine attacks Sevastopol.
Army Romania supports Army Serbia's attack on Bulgaria.
FAILED:
Quote:
Army Serbia attacks Bulgaria.
With the assistance of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea and the Turkish Army in Constantinople the Turkish Army in Bulgaria is able to fend off the attack from Austria's army in Serbia, even with the support given towards the attack from The Austrian Army in Rumania and the Italian Fleet in Greece.
Quote:
Fleet Albania supports Italian Fleet Adriatic into Ionian Sea.


England
FAILED:
Quote:
London to North Sea
The Russian fleet from Norway and the English Fleet from London each tried to enter the North Sea. Both fail and must return to their original province.

FAILED:
Quote:
Liverpool hold
The French fleets in the Irish Sea and the North Atlantic provide the French fleet from Wales to dislodge the English Army in Liverpool.

Quote:
Clyde supports Liverpool holding.


France

Quote:
Fleet in Wales moves to Liverpool
Fleet in Irish Sea supports the move of Wales to Liverpool
Fleet in North Atlantic supports the move of Wales to Liverpool
Army in Brest moves to Paris
Army in Picardy supports Belgium
Army in Belgium holds


Germany

Quote:

My erstwhile order clerk took advantage of the recent military expansion and seized an opportunity to join the new Munich unit as a roving reporter. After a farewell party here at court (which featured many shots of vodka and generous servings of caviar), he departed for his new post, where I wish him all the success that diligence, intelligence, and a good thesaurus deserve.

His successor, a pleasant-seeming youngster, has been counseled to ease into his new duties, especially since he has so many new forces to keep track of. Therefore, the orders this week shall contain none of the accustomed wacky wordplay. As the lad grows into his position, however, I am certain that he shall develop a flair of his own.

Without further ado, here are Germany's marching orders for Spring 1904:

Army Moscow supports Army Ukraine into Sevastopol
Fleet Sweden advances into Norway
Army St. Petersburg supports Fleet Sweden into Norway
Army Denmark moves into Sweden
Fleet Kiel moves into Denmark
Army Berlin holds
Army Holland holds
Army Munich holds
Army Silesia holds

Danke schšn!

Italy

Quote:
Italian Fleet in Adriatic Moves into the Ionian Sea

Italian Fleet in Greece Supports Austrian's Army in Serbia's move into Bulgaria

Italian Army in Naples Moves into Apulla

Italian Army in North Africa Holds in N. Africa

Italian Army in Tuscany Holds in Tuscany


Russia
FAILED:
Quote:
Fleet Norway to North Sea
The Russian fleet from Norway and the English Fleet from London each tried to enter the North Sea. Both fail and must return to their original province. However, the German Fleet from Sweden, with the assistance of the German Army in St. Petersburg, attacks and dislodges the Russian Fleet from Norway.
Quote:
Fleet Black Sea supports Turkish Army Bulgaria

per Disputin


Turkey

Quote:
We would ask for the continuation of the hands involved in the burgeoning baklava business blooming before them in Bulgaria while Bulgaria holds its position.

The army at Constantinople, always willing to offer extra hands for baklava baking, would like to support the army in Bulgaria.

The Eastern Mediterranean fleet, in order to allow for continued Christmas ornament distribution as well as the (even more imperative) recall of several ornaments as well as musical scores that were mistakenly sold to naughty people, would like to set sail to the Agean Sea.

And, our army in Smyrna would like to road trip to Armenia in the hopes of catching that wildly popular fig marmalade-maker that we have heard so much about living up in the Armenian mountains.

Saygılarımla,

Turkey's Divine Diva and her Diminutive Diva (can’t we all just get along?)

A note from your gamemistress

Our gamesmistress being called away by several unruly small subjects, she has given me this message:

I am gladly accepting all donations towards a complete home a/c system. Right now I'm stuck driving aimlessly around town in an a/c car just to avoid melting into a puddle.

Gah, I'm sorry! We just went from 85 degrees to being in the middle of a freak rain storm right now. The yard is thrilled. Tomorrow, if it hasn't let up I won't be too "thrilled" to be working in it, however.

How about I go outside and blow some of these nice 80-degree airs north?

It's been smeltering here but it just cooled down to a pleasant 80s.

I use homestead.com to host the maps. When I try to log in to update the map I am forced to download their new sitebuilder software ... it is taking forever!
