- With incredible ease, the Mongolite hordes or the Russian Army drove directly through Switzerland into France. The Czar was among the supporters of Swiss neutrality, but unfortunately there were no other land routes into the country with which to assist the British invasion there. Unfortunately there were no clear ways to bypass fortifications, so our first attacks met heavy resistance in the fortified border city of Besancon. After a full three French infantry divisions were annihilated, as has always been the case in this new, mobile war, an unstoppable flood of routing Russian cavalry and devastating artillery hacked away in the rear territory of our enemy, where no trench systems or machine gunnery were to be found. The invasion continued until every single homeland French city was taken outside of what the British already had, with the exception of the entrenched front city of Nancy, which should be easy pickings for hardened ANZACs as the British retake the offensive. There is no longer any French back to break, as France simply does not exist.
- Furthermore, a full thirteen defensive divisions have hunkered down in a quality line of fortresses along the French border with Italy, so that they have no room to move there, just as they do not on their eastern border where besieged Trieste blocks their way. It seems Italy will for now be a well-sealed jar, unable to operate until all of its allies have already faded away.
- All cities which were lost to Italys spectacular campaign in the Near East (Erzurum, Iskenderun, Kamishli, and Mosul) were fortunately retaken, as they were left ungarrisoned by the Italians. Russia will not make the same mistake it did before, and all cities in its Middle Eastern mandates are now well defended. An Italian cavalry division near Iskenderun was annihilated, and one near Trabzon has been trapped in the mountains to starve.
- As I touched on earlier, all of Austria-Hungarys southern half has been occupied and garrisoned. This includes Constantinople, which was retaken at the cost of two Austrian mountain divisions, a regiment of artillery, and their only battleship in the Black, Marmara, and Aegean seas. With their naval and land forces in the region completely gone, Constantinople will not be threatened again. Furthermore we will soon be able to finish off the Italian mandates in Anatolia and Greece, which could not be done this turn as our engineers were too busy in the French campaign to build railroads in the eastern threater.
