After a relatively peaceful start, things get a bit more dicey...

England and Germany divide Scandinavian centres, while Russians sail by... France secures the Iberian Peninsular while the Germans colonise the Low Countries... But Italians slip into Munich... Turks try to retake the Crimea but repelled... Austria left alone to press into Balkans... Russians only power to rein in military budgets...

All that with no retreats, so you get a little extra time to decide on your builds. Doctor Fate and I will advise on next week's deadlines and where to send your orders in the meantime.

As others have done it, you can see how 'typical' this game is using this old DipPouch article on first year outcomes.
