Welcome dear viewers to another game of Diplomacy. As always, we have Italy, Russia, Germany, France, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans racing to see who can get 18 supply centers first.
Right now we are in summer of 1902 and the various alliances and rivalries are starting to become visible. Italy and Austria-Hungary seem to be starting with a traditional Lepanto to drive out those nasty Turks, but with Russia's 1901 gambit not paying off, the Ottomans might just survive this onslaught with a little bit of luck.
Meanwhile in the north Great Britain is making use of the terrible positioning of the Russian troop and has landed a fleet in St. Petersburg. With no way to push it back into the sea for the Russians, it looks like they will gia nSweden, but no builds whatsoever. Shocking to see Russia not gain a single build in two years.
The biggest question here is what does the British fleet in Skagerrak mean? Have they perhaps struck a deal with the Germans and traded Belgium for Sweden? This would mean bad news for France, who, despite gaining Iberia last year, is locked in battle with the German forces. It looks like they will lose the battle for Belgium, which might make their situation troublesome, unless they can get support from Britain or Italy. There is also a possibility for those crazy Ruskies to ruin the Germans' chances of defeating their arch-enemy France. That army in Silesia is unlikely to take Berlin, but it might just have a go at Munich.
It will be an interesting turn for sure. Will the French go all-in and invade Italy? Are the British and the Germans friends or foes? How will the Ottomans fare against the combined forces of Austria, Hungary and Italy? And will Russia succeed in furthering its inevitable collapse?
