We have an Italian retreat! Indeed the Asutrians finally re-occupied some of their old lands by forcing the French out of Galicia. Meanwhile, the Italians moved into the North Sea and the British recaptured Berlin. The French practised their white- flag waving. Here is the retreat:

Italian A Galicia can retreat to Vienna or disband.

Because I know kitten oh-so-well, I will be moving the army for him. Thus the map will reflect the retreat.

Deadline for Fall 1914 (the time of the 'real' Guns of August') will be Sunday, 23 March.

See you there.

Good call Magnus!


At Jutland the Italian fleet drop anchor and await the pitiful British Royal Navy, that despite her vast fleet fail to isolate and destroy any Italian ships.

Italy CRUSHES Austria and takes advantage of England's indifference to conquer Europe with a 21 centre win. France joins England and Austria earning survival status in the wake of the Italian juggernaut. There were two Austrian retreats which I finished (they only had one place to go anyway) so I could get you the final map).

Congratulations to kittenOFchaos, winner of the game as Italy



Thank you to everyone who played, and thanks to everyone who came in a replacement and kept this (eight month long!) game moving. End-Of-Game commentary is welcome and appreciated.

Here is the final map: - Magnus

Congrats Kitten. I actually sent my orders at the same time Magnus ajudiciated, but I had a feeling Kitten would eventually win.

France congratulates itslef on its complacency.

A good gloat is in order!


Kittino Lambini took his Triumph in Rome yesterday and announced the foundation of the Nova Roman Empire!


This all came after Italian Marines had stormed Westminister Palace and dragged out the British Prime Minister and had him hanged in the Tower of London. Britain was presented with a treaty to make a peace where Britain recognised Italian dominion over most of Europe and would recognise Italy as the owner of the Suez Canal and Gibralter for ever more!


The French were granted survival, but had to concede the loss of Algeria and Morroco to Italy for ever more aswell as the French Mediterreanan Coast.

For Austria, the Italians had only death to offer to those that resisted.


It was in this fashion peace was cemented in Europe for the next billion years

Now that all the gloating is finished, everyone join CivDip007!
