Europe
(Link for large map: http://i.imgur.com/RqzZDWx.jpg )
It is Spring 1901. European Diplomats have assembled from all capitals of the continent to discuss crucial matters as the tensions between the great powers are ever increasing. We have entered the 20th century, and the question as to who shall dominate this century is still entirely open. Will Britannia rule the waves for much longer? Can Germany take over the waves while at the same time holding off her rivals on the European mainland? Will France, a hundred years after the emergence of Napoleon, conquer all of Europe with superior military tactics? Or should we perhaps place our cards on Italy, which, the last time it was under unified rule, led to the creation of the Roman Empire. Few might think about the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, because it is ''encircled'' as some like to say. But that also means Vienna can move into every direction it likes, while everyone is underestimating her. In the East there are the large Empires of the past: the Ottomans and the Russians. Their Despotic hordes threaten to overrun the Civilized world from the East, crushing European liberty beneath the hooves of their mounted soldiers.
What will happen is unpredictable. That is precisely why, now, in this beautiful spring of 1901 the best diplomats have come together to gather intelligence, listen to some of the rumours, get to discuss some plans, weigh their options, and then see how the alignments in Europe develop through the rest of the year. Europe is at peace, but it is a fragile piece. War is in the air. Europe says 'yes' to the barbarian within it. Let's release the animal.
To all the players, I wish to make a few things clear. You have to send your official troop instructions to Hadash, with next Monday being the latest possible day to give instructions for the Autumn of 1901. Hadash then sends them to me and I will make the required adjustments on the map, and publish it.
Formal instructions need to be written like this:
''Country unit province action (actions: Hold, move to/attack [insert province], support [insert adjacent unit (you can support foreign units)], support attack [insert province that is under attack - you need to border it with that unit], convoy (an order for fleets located in a sea territory while an adjacent land unit is ordered to move to a free land spot across that sea)''
Example: Russia Army Warsaw attacks Silezia.
You give such orders for all of your units. If a unit receives no orders it simply holds its position.
Let the game begin. May the biggest knife win.
