PRESS

Press from Stp: The Tsar paces back and fourth, a large map of Europe

sprawls upon the great table, his generals and advisors sit quietly waiting

for the Tsar to speak...in a clear firm voice he declares, "Last year the

German Kaiser betrayed our trust and supported the English Navy into Norway

(A02) after we had valiantly driven the English out of it in the Spring of

1902...the Kaiser informed us that he needed the English to help oppose the

French and by giving Norway to England the English could build a fleet in

Liverpool and drive the French back as if somehow that was bad for

Russia...hmmmm regardless it appears that the Kaiser was wrong...Liverpool

will fall this year despite the "new English fleet" (he says with disgust)

so we have been twarted by the Kaiser's poorly constructed plan...the

RUSSIAN EMPIRE can not be saddled with such inept allies or worse yet

TRAITOROUS vipers! I see that our enemies seek to encircle us we must

strike them before they strike us. Ready my troops for battle! This night

we march upon Berlin, we reclaim Norway and we deal with the Turkish

infidels...", lifting high his glass the Tsar makes a toast..."To Mother

Russia and her loyal allies.", the generals nod in agreement and all drink

deeply...

The deadline for Spring 1904 is Friday 24th August at 6.00 PM GMT.
