SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH - Autumn 1902
GM Ally Bain
Well England managed to get to Ruhr & own it but as we all know, no SC, so off it came as one of their disbands. Turkey tried to support their own army standing but they had actually moved it.

As far as other odd moves, Russia walked into Serbia. Italy made sane moves given the onslaught from Austria.

France I suppose did normal boring moves compared to the others.

PRESS

ALB: Due to Xmas, will you let me know whether any holidays might pose a problem for autumn 1903.

StP: Russian maps are said to be unreliable to a high degree, experts say. The scientists where meeting at an international conference in Moscow to discuss the tragic state of the Russian Imperial Survey and Geodetic Service, a branch of the under funded Russian Navy. Some of them only arrived after the closing session of the conference. Reports speak of a dozen or so scientists who are still missing. It was also reported that a division of the 5th Army, better known by their combat name 'The Wanderers', got lost on the Balkans while trying to figure out their way to Ankara. A high-ranking army officer, who did not wish to have his name disclosed, was quoted as saying, 'I hope these Wanderers do not end up in Vienna or Spain.' It is not known if he was just joking.

Spring 1903 deadline: 19:00 BST, 16th December 2002.
