Re: Dip 1193 - Spring 1914 Results

The med definitely has possibilities to break through
Italy and you oculd actually solo with all his dots.
Assuming, of course, that France is okay with that
since you have to bring troops through him to get
there.  And if he lets himself take point in that
endeavor he leaves himself exposed to a stab and a
huge loss at your hands.

So I guess I have to retract my earlier assessment and
say that things are still ripe for a Russian solo but
I don't see anyone else having much of a chance.  

Even if Italy turned on Turkey he cannot solo since
you  and France will be all over him soon enough.
Same basic deal with France.  He could turn on you but
he is too exposed to what you have coming down.
Turkey could turn on Italy but not in time to stop you
in the med.


Now, if France and Italy teamed up and Italy stayed
with Turkey, you could be in trouble.  But I don't see
that happening.  However, if I were Italy or France I
would be trying to make that happen.

Back to the med, you guys need to get SPA to MAR (sup
from GAS), POR to SPA, MAO to WME (sup from NAF) and
NAO to MAO.  The best Italy can do is take GOL with
TUS  or stop the move to WME and lose any shot at GOL.
 The following season that would not matter since you
and France would have the fleet advantage and then
pushing Italy slowly backward would be a done deal. 
However, you really could use a unit in BUR to shore
up MAR so you can bring that fleet to GOL.

Of course, someone could always screw up and create a
gap so you just never know.  

Good luck and happy hunting.
