ok, time for the second update.
Fall 1901:
Britain: WAL A H, ENC F to BEL, NSE F to NOR
France: BRE A H, SPA A to MAR, MAO F to POR
Germany: KIE A to HOL, DEN F H
Italy: PIE A to MAR, VEN A H, TYS F to TUN
Austria: BOH A H, SER A H, TRI F to ALB
Turkey: BUL A to GRE, CON A to BUL, BLA F to AEG*
Russia: UKR A to RUM, RUM F to BLA, BOT F to SWE
Britain: Keegan is being strangely passive this phase. He has gained a supply center in Norway and one in Belgium but he did not convoy his army from Wales. He is probably just trying to scare me and instead wants to focus on gaining supply centers in Scandanavia. However, I must watch out for that navy in Belgium in case he decides to move it west along the coast to Picardy.
France: Continuing my strategy I have moved my navy to Portugal and kept my army in Spain. I told my army in Brest to hold in case of an attack by Britain, but it didn't occur. Danny and I had made an agreement that he would attack Marseilles and I would move to Marseilles to keep everyone thinking that he and I were enemies while not really doing anything.
Germany: Once again Elias ignores his wide open eastern front and secures the western one. I found out that he and Keegan made an agreement where Elias would get Holland and Keegan would get Belgium. This scared me a little bit, as I would have to watch out for an attack from Keegan on the continent as well as from the Channel.
Italy: As per the agreement between me and Danny he has attacked Marseilles. He has also secured the relatively safe supply center of Tunis, which will help him against Austria.
Austria: Not much going on here, except that Sam finally moved his fleet. He has moved it to Albania though, which leads me to believe future conflict between him and Thomas in Turkey over Greece and perhaps Bulgaria.
Turkey: Thomas has gained another Balkan supply center without conflict, but has evacuated the Black Sea*. He has left himself open to a Russian naval assault, which would cripple him. He seems to be more worried about Sam and Austria. This probably means a non-agression pact between Turkey and Russia, which could spell trouble for Austria.
Russia: Typical movement in the north, but some interesting moves in the south. Moving the fleet to the Black Sea while still holding Romania is an ambiguous move. He could be planning to backstab Turkey if they made a deal, or could be setting up a large offensive against Austria. We shall have to watch this conflict, as the outcome might affect us.
*I did not motice his move to the Aegean Sea and at the time did not realize it was illegal. I may do that from time to time during this game, and those moves will not be shown on the screen.
