Next move (spring 2AD) is Friday, as usual. Also it has come to my attention that what I’ve been calling Syria is in fact Persia, so I’m going to start calling them that since it makes a lot more sense.

As the British stage an amphibious landing in Norway, the French occupy Wallonia and Spain as the Royal Navy clashes with them over Brittany. Meanwhile, the Balkans are partitioned between the returning Ottomans and Austria, while Italian troops occupy Tyrol from behind as the assault on Trieste continues. As the Russians gather behind the Carpathians, German troops occupy Holland, Denmark, and Switzerland, marking what is sure to be far from their last aggressive expansion.

Build moves still due Sunday, they’re not very complicated. Sorry about the delay, technology seems to be an issue (just email/text me directly, lnordquist@stalbansschool.org, that’s where submitting moves goes anyway)

As Roman troops hurry to the Limes, the Greeks send an expedition to the Black Sea. The Carthaginians make their move into Sardinia while crossing the Straits of Gibraltar into Europe. Meanwhile, Greek and Egyptian forces clash over Crete as the ever aggressive Syrians take Judea and Pontus in one fell swoop.

Builds tomorrow (Carthage, Rome, and Syria have three; Egypt and Macedonia two). Builds only allowed in home supply points.

• 

As Syria invades the Levant, Carthaginian forces begin invasion of Libya and prepare to cross the Pillars of Hercules. Rome plants the eagle in Sicily but sends forces north as Macedonia sends an expedition beyond the Danube and takes to the Aegean as Hellenic warriors streak towards Dalmatian plunder.

Moves due Friday.

Germans invade Denmark and Switzerland as the French seize Iberia! The Austrians and Turks make their moves in the Balkans! Clashes in the Julian Alps as Italy and Austria battle!

Next moves on Friday, same time.

Next moves Wednesday, pending review of my workload. Given the current situation of the game, I’m open to suggestions for a new map since the game may end soon.

As the schoolyear begins, I finally have all the moves. The Russians finally capture all of Persia, Pakistan, and Sinkiang, but lose Shanghai to the Chinese as Dutch troops make landfall in the Middle East. The British retake Bombay as they retreat from Pakistan but retake Kashmir. The Empire of Japan continues to keep the Home Islands secure.

Builds due midnight Friday. As a reminder, win condition is 23 SPs; Russia is at 20. Probably a new game soon, so feedback on maps would be nice (will probably make an announcement at some point).

Anglo-Dutch attempt at long-distance convoy repelled due to Russian attacks! Japanese continue to entrench, blockade coast French and Chinese focus efforts on driving Russians back! Russians manage to break through British lines in Tibet, putting Sinkiang under even heavier pressure! All is not lost for the Chinese as they retake Shanghai for the first time in several years, though the Russians quickly fill the new gap! Meanwhile, British forces congregate in Pakistan, stabilizing the Raj’s troublesome western frontier!
