DC428 Spring 1911 Orders, Game Finished - Zoterik   (Oct 29, 2012, 6:37 am)
In a different context, this turn may have marked the beginning of a continental struggle between superpowers.  However, the two-way draw vote has passed (with his second consecutive NMR, Russia fall

DC428 Winter 1910 Adjustments - Zoterik   (Oct 24, 2012, 6:47 am)
The end of 1910 is marked by the ascendancy of the West, marked by the proposed France/Italy two-way draw.  And yet, both recipients of the draw vote build fleets which could potentially be used to t

DC428 Autumn 1910 - Zoterik   (Oct 19, 2012, 6:01 am)
I apologize for the delay in getting this out; getting internet in my apartment in Odessa has proved more troublesome than I had hoped.  I also overlooked one small detail from last turn:  France di

DC428 Fall 1910 - Zoterik   (Oct 17, 2012, 9:05 am)
France is the big winner of 1910, gaining three centers and pulling into a joint first-place position with Italy, who gained two.  Turkey threw caution to the wind and suffered the loss of Sevastopol

Normally I'd provide my own comments on the latest developments, but this turn the Sultan says it better than I possibly could.  Enjoy this rather poignant performance:

Winter 1909 Adjustments - Zoterik   (Oct 07, 2012, 1:34 am)
Perhaps a deadline extension was a bit hasty.  I'm still getting used to this new time zone.  Let it be known that for the first time, there is a new board leader as Italy overtakes Russia for t

DC428 Fall 1909 - Zoterik   (Oct 05, 2012, 5:18 am)
I fear this is the end of the line for England, trapped in Lisbon by the French navy.  F Portugal is dislodged and disbanded, and England can skip the Winter adjustments (if you want to continue rece

DC428 Summer 1909 Retreat - Zoterik   (Sep 30, 2012, 9:07 am)
After much consideration, the Sultan orders his fleet to Smyrna, to defend the Anatolian homeland.  As such, we proceed to Fall 1909, but I won't be able to confirm orders for quite some time (pl

DC428 Spring 1909 Orders - Zoterik   (Sep 27, 2012, 9:22 pm)
1909 opens with quite a few cautious moves as leaders of Europe try to figure out the new Tsar.  The German occupation of Belgium is maintained as French and Russian generals can't figure out wha

DC428 Winter 1908 Adjustments - Zoterik   (Sep 21, 2012, 9:38 am)
Three of this year's four builds are fleets placed directly into the Atlantic.  No way of telling for now how this will affect the game dynamic, but as our game enters its ninth year; I sense gre

DC428 Autumn 1908 Retreat - Zoterik   (Sep 19, 2012, 11:40 pm)
The English fleet is disbanded, so the Royal Navy will continue the fight from Portugal.  There was an error on the previous map, which I attribute to a hyperactive touch-pad; the Russian army Munich

DC428 Fall 1908 Orders - Zoterik   (Sep 15, 2012, 5:21 pm)
The dying wishes of the Tsar were sent to the Russian forces, thus they honor his memory with blood, not tears.  The DIAS has been vetoed, and the game continues following its first elimination:  th

DC428 Spring 1908 Orders - Zoterik   (Sep 09, 2012, 10:45 pm)
Don't hold your breath; the DIAS proposal has been resoundingly shot down.  The big story here is a Russian NMR just as Italy & Turkey begin to cooperate against the Tsar.  Elsewhere, Englan

DC428 Winter 1907 Adjustments - Zoterik   (Sep 05, 2012, 11:56 am)
If the four armies built are any indication, the coming battles will be primarily land-based, while a handful of fleets jockey for superior positioning.  There has been a DIAS (seven-way draw) propos

DC428 Autumn 1907 Retreats - Zoterik   (Aug 31, 2012, 9:04 pm)
The retreats are in, and the snow has begun to fall over a Europe in which I can claim no clear leader.  I need not impress upon you all that much may be determined by the coming turn; at this stage

DC428 Fall 1907 Orders - Zoterik   (Aug 29, 2012, 11:03 pm)
This year definitely has been the most interesting thus far.  We had seven bounces (!), highlighting a turn which involved an apparent collapse of negotiations around Rumania involving all four Easte

The retreats lead to an interesting dynamic in the Balkans; just about anything is possible out there, while the situation in the West is significantly more straightforward.  Fall 1907 orders are

As promised, this turn has some absolutely fascinating results.  Some alliances are starting to mature, whilst others wither.  Many questions remain for the coming season, not least of which

DC428 Winter 1906 Adjustments - Zoterik   (Aug 18, 2012, 9:46 pm)
Into oh-seven we go, with all seven nations still alive and kicking (some more than others).  It remains to be seen whether or not this now constitutes the "mid-game shake-out", when alliances first

Well, that was prompt.  The Russian army retreats from Rumania to Galicia. Winter 1906 deadline is 9:00pm US Central on 18 August, or 03:00 BST on 19 August.  Adjustments are included again, as is t

The big winner this year is Turkey, who picks up two centers: Serbia and Rumania.  Austria lives to fight another day, Russia fails to reach Kiel but claims Denmark as a consolation prize, and a Fren

Well gentlemen, that was a wild weekend.  I'll send another email with WDC reflections later, so as not to clutter up the adjudication here.  But from the orders received, I think this game may

I made a counting error last turn:  Italy now has six supply centers, not five.
