GUPPY - Spring 1905
GM Ally Bain
Given the fact that Emile Francois Loubet (full name but cannot put it on the program) said about the wine & women in Gascony, Germany must be back for more. I assume though the softening must be due to Belgium.

Russia must be getting a southern headache but will it affect his moves in the north.

The Balkans' is an interesting area.

Con: His Emminence Sultan Abd al-Hamid II enthusiatically wishes to announce that the Ottoman Empire has been replaced by the Love Empire. Above all, the Sultan wants the world to know that he loves everything. He loves that Russia is down to two supply centers. He loves that the Turks and Greeks have reunited with open arms. He loves that Austria is fighting Italy to the death. He loves that the French fleets are in the North Atlantic, where they belong. He is convinced that love will define global politics in the 20th Century.
