X-RAY TETRA - Spring 1902 GM Ally Bain
Both the 'Western Corner' & the 'Eastern Square' are becoming very interesting with Germany trying to merge the two sections, or should I say, upset two countries from the two sections?
France has moved into England's Belgium but has a Germany army in their homeland & an Italian fleet near their probably next SC together with an army beside Marseilles.
If Austria is thinking they are safe from me mentioning others above, nope! Turkey & Russia have definitely invaded them.
