I propose the following division

West-Italy
Russia-Serbia
vs
Germany
Austria-Hungary
Ottoman-Empire

Or

West
Italy & Serbia
Russia
vs
Germany
Austria-Hungary & Ottoman empire
__________________________________

I think the first version makes for a more fun 5 player game

I would be interested to play. As Ottoman Empire in first setup or Italy & Serbia in the second version.

Please everone : send me your @mail address by MP. I'll build a list and mail it to each player.

Germany goes first. He will have to set up the game.
I suggest :
- label on (requires to edit the scenario and to alter the setting)
- shroud + shroud peak
- passwords
- anti-PBEM cheat

Be ready to start soon.

Status: offline 		Turn sent on to Germany. I've played this scenario a few times, and almost every time Russia has collapsed. So I'm expecting a tough time of it. However, Serbia has also usually punched above her weight. So watch your Southern flank Herode.

I don't actually like the shroud peak (i assume that's what's stopping me seeing the railway lines?) Makes planning attacks that much more difficult. But never mind.

In a series of naval battles the entire russian fleet was wiped of the face of the earth for the loss of one squadron of destroyers. The ottoman empire has established an at least temporary control of the black sea (the russian fleet must have attacked with really low readiness).

In the balkan front a seasoned bulgarian infanterycorps surprised a green grekish artillerycorps and scattered them. 1 artillery regiment survived.

Status: offline 		Lads, I'm getting divorced and have had to find myself a new flat, no internet for a couple of weeks. BUT I'm popping down maccy d's or wetherspoons almost every day to check my emails, and even I'm getting bored at the speed of thsi game .

It's not likely to speed up much either is it, as no one is going to get eliminated.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no one bugger off out of this game as happened in both my diplomacy games, ruining a good position.
