Player Analysis for Fall of 1911 in describe |
Army Tyrolia SUPPORT Army Trieste -> Venice. Army Trieste -> Venice. I decided to to attack Italy. Not that I think it's the smart thing to do, but things are looking like bad no matter what I do. I probably won't be able to progress much further than ven, since IE can conspire to keep me out of rom and nap long enough for E to get them. Army Bohemia -> Vienna. Army Silesia -> Bohemia. Moving armies south to deal with Italy. Frees up G to go after E. Also diminishes G's value to E, so maybe E will go ahead and finally take par and bel. Army Serbia -> Bulgaria. Fleet Bulgaria (south coast) -> Greece. Army Rumania SUPPORT Army Serbia -> Bulgaria. Need to protect gre and bul from Italian fleets. ------------------- England No communication. Russia I was unable to convince R that attack Italy was foolish unless he could 1) protect scandinavia, 2) deny E nap and rom, and 3) take into account Italy throwing the game to E. I thought about attacking R, but it looks like he will get both ank and/or smy. So while I could get sev, Any attack on him would be hopeless, while Italy would probably still throw the game to E. I have no idea why R is so oblivious to the obvious threat of an Englsih solo coming. Germany Little communication. We didn't talk enough for AIG vs ER to be a serious option. Italy Little communication, so couldn't get an AIG alliance. I will assume he's going to throw the game to E given that R is going to attack him. So, I decided to attack Italy to get as many Italian centers as I can before E gets them. More likely, I'll only be able to pick up ven. Maybe by some miricle R is right about not worrying about E getting the solo.
England's Build for Winter 1911: Build Fleet London: I flirted with building an army, but that seemed pointless. Building a fleet in Edinburgh would be a big tip-off to Russia, and building in Liverpool seemed dumb, as to make that fleet effective I'd have to move it out to NAt this Spring and that is also a tip-off. So it's going to be in London, which is a good place to have it. I spent a bit of time looking at the position before this build, and after Italy disbands the A NAf and F Tyn that I asked him to and Russia builds A Mos (the only place he can build), I think I've found a good method to secure Italy from Austrian aggression and to attack Russia strongly. I'll get into these moves next turn - assuming that the diplomatic possibilties are still there - but my general strategy is to keep Germany strong as a buffer and nibble at the Italian and Russia centres. (Well, the Italian centres will be done after this year, except for Venice, as I've promised to keep Italy alive. This isn't much of a hassle, since it's convenient to keep Austria out of the peninsula.) Eventually, with my naval strength, I'll win no matter what AR do. Lord Sheringham
