LW Main Game: Spring 1904: A Lot More Straightforward Than It Looks
We now have two clear sides: G/E/I/R against A/T/F... for now. The game master is being coy about the situation but it's hard to be clearer than that. Turkey can take the Ionian Sea and Austria can knock out Venice with the risk being Germany sneaking Trieste. I don't expect either side to try anything on the eastern front for a while. The question is, will Italy pick up enough from his new friends to survive? France is toast and will be down to only Liverpool after this year, at which point he's only a nuisance. England and Germany's task now is to get as far into the Med as possible and meet the Turks as far east as they can. Granting Italy Spain and Mar for this turn is potentially a good idea, but trust is a huge factor there, but sending the extra unit west was costly; as E/G I'd much rather he stayed behind and held the Ionian. A/T has grown large and it's not going to be easy to take them down. This game is probably going to be a long, hard slog sooner rather than later.
