Sir William Maxwell Aitken Dateline: December 31st, 1916 The Entente takes a beating, but survives another year. Time, once our enemy, begins to work against the agressors. 17 broods ominously for Kaiser Wargamer despite the appearances of a Central Power edge. The East; brings great joy as the Russe take Vienna. a-h, (no longer capital in our book), needs constant support from all sides just to slow its' slide into capitualation. The Germans transfer men and material from all fronts and nations to stop the steamroller from bringing this conflict to a conclusion. But the crafty bear pulls back ever so slightly to avoid being ensnared. It has done its' job for the year. And with their forces poised to take the key cities of Vienna, Budapest in the coming months, it has the luxury of regrouping for the moment. Turkey; Kars, Bierut, Damascus, all fall from offenses coming from the Carpathians and Negev. While Johnny Turk looks elsewhere for plunder, its' own house collpases. Serbia; a tribute to our gallant partners who now reside in the hills. Overrun, but not conquered, it is just a matter of time before the liberation begins. Greece; have joined the Ententes cause, and . . . (crickets chirp) The West; Kaiser W has unexpectedly pulled his forces back to the border. GHQ on our side urges a rapid pursuit to chase them all the way to Berlin. But Intel warns of a gambit, trying to pull our troops out of well defined positions in order to maul them on the open field. We advance, but methodically, moving forward, digging in, bringing & building up, only to repeat the process all over again. We have moved from the gates of Paris and are now knocking on the doors of Verdun. It's only a matter of time before Alsace & Lorraine are re-united with Mother France! Concerning Operation H.B., the melancholy Dane says "Not a whit, we defy augury." Also note, more proof of Hun atrocities. With sources reporting the touching of firm, . . . quivering . . . flesh, . . . ohhh yeah, . . . yielding to the forceful, . . . that's it, forceful . .
