CHERRY BARB - Spring 1906 GM Ally Bain
Last time, I said it came as a surprise to see Austria go from many to three. This time it does not surprise me they went to one. It looks like an interesting battle between Turkey & Italy.
The other interesting battle is still going on but Russia will have to take a close look at England retreat. Mind you, England could not go elsewhere.
It was a curious move by the French southern fleet.
