A Merry Mixup Fall 1751

Produced 07/06/2003

GM's Summary

The knives are out now. Netherlands and Spain are under attack from their less than friendly neighbours, though they still get builds for this turn. Ottoman and Russia come to blows in central Asia, with China siding with Russia to thwart Ottoman's expansion to Sinkiang. Meanwhile, Austria and England quietly expand their empires to 15 centres.

Press and Commentary

Rick Desper (Russia):
As noted by the GM, and others, the Ottoman fleet in the Black Sea does not please the Tsar. The fleet needs to go elsewhere (and not to Crimea).

Robert Paquin (Spain):
Spain-Portugal: What`s the deal between you and France? You are helping him get the centers in North Africa but what`s in it for you? I haven`t recalled my ambassador from Lisbon yet, it`s not too late to talk...
Spain-Netherlands: I know you are on vacation but you and I need to talk now. Unless you are in with France and Portugal...
Spain-Austria: S.O.S. Help! Au secours!
