It is Autumn 1901. After months of tense discussions, heated arguments, and whispering diplomats and agents in dark corners, the Powers of Europe have made their moves in the Spring of 1901. Now is the moment of truth. We shall see who is moving to where, who kept his promise, which intelligence proved correct. They say that actions speak louder than words. Nothing is more true in European diplomacy!
The biggest surprise in the Spring of 1901 is the sudden Russian attack on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Russian army in Warsaw suddenly tried to invade Galicia, the Ruthenian lands of the Habsburg Empire, where so many exiled Ukrainian ''freedom fighters'', or ''terrorists'' if you ask the Tsar, have found their refuge. The invasion failed however, as the Habsburg generals, strategists of the finest military academies in Vienna, anticipated on the Pan-Slav ambitions of St. Petersburg and quickly moved their troops to the Eastern Front to defend the Habsburg realm. One of the Austrian war photographers managed to get a picture of some Russian POW's being escorted by an Austrian cavalry officer. Look at these wild hordes they are sending to Europe from the Urals!
Meanwhile, France has occupied Spain without much resistance. The Ottomans have begun to revert their century-long decline and re-established their control over Bulgaria after they had lost it since 1878. France and the Ottoman Empire are the two countries making gains this season. Europe has been warned. Before we go to a new round of diplomatic negotiation, let me clarify the actions of all the players:
Austro-Hungarian Empire:
Fleet in Trieste moves to Albania.
Army in Vienna moves to Tyrolia.
Army in Budapest moves to Galicia - encounters Russian Army from Warsaw, move is cancelled.
France:
Fleet in Brest moves to Atlantic Ocean.
Army in Paris moves to Burgundy.
Army in Marseilles moves to Spain. Spain is taken over. France may build one new unit at a home supply center of their choice at the end of this year.
Germany:
Fleet in Kiel moves to Heligoland Bight.
Army in Berlin moves to Kiel.
Army in Munich holds position.
Italy:
Fleet in Naples moves to Tyrrhenian Sea.
Army in Rome holds position.
Army in Venice holds position.
Ottoman Empire:
Fleet in Ankara moves into Black Sea - encounters Russian fleet from Sevastopol, move is cancelled.
Army in Constantinople moves into Bulgaria. Bulgaria is taken over. The Ottoman Empire may build 1 new unit at a home supply center of their choice at the end of this year.
Army in Smyrna moves to Constantinople.
Russia:
Fleet in St. Petersburg moves into Bothnian Gulf.
Army in Warsaw moves into Galicia - encounters Austrian Army from Budapest, move is cancelled.
Army in Moscow moves into Warsaw - already a unit stationed there, move is cancelled.
Fleet in Sevastopol moves into Black Sea - encounters Ottoman Fleet from Ankara, move is cancelled.
United Kingdom:
Fleet in Edinburgh moves into Norwegian Sea.
Fleet in London moves into North Sea.
Army in Liverpool moves into Yorkshire.
These were the orders of the Spring of 1901. We now enter the negotiation phase of the Autumn of 1901, and it will last until next Thursday.
