The US invaded and briefly occupied the port city of Vera Cruz Mexico in April of 1914. The US had issued an arms embargo in response to the Mexican Civil War but a German merchant ship was going to break it. Wilson sent in Marines who took the city, killing about 300 Mexicans, while the US lost 22. The German merchant ship unloaded its cargo in another port. Who could have predicted that?
Tough season for Austria. Steven, you have 3 retreats. Can you get them to me by 9pm tonight? Builds due Thursday November 3 at 9pm.
One point for the group. I know that these are your powers to order as you will, but, "all units hold" orders are generally frowned upon, unless you have a single unit that can't really do anything. One of the flaws of this game is that sometimes you get stuck in a downward spiral and you can't get out. We owe it to other players to play it out to the end.
Orders as follows:
Austria:
A Budapest Supports A Trieste - Vienna (*Cut*)
