The Caucasus Front concerns Russia—Ankara, Armenia, Black Sea, Rumania, and Sevastopol—and is the most aggressive front, since it asserts an early attack, making intentions clear to other Great Powers from the start. However, it is the most successful Turkish opening, offering the best chance of winning. The opening is as follows: F(Ank)-Bla, A(Con)-Bul, and A(Smy)-Arm. The Balkan Front must remain benevolently neutral, and Italy must be convinced to attack Austria-Hungary. (In offering Greece as a prize to either, Austria-Hungary and Italy can be separated.)

The Balkan Front concerns Austria-Hungary—Aegean Sea, Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia—and is the most natural front to pursue. Being the most passive front, it encourages steady, slow, and sound progress, which often compliments Turkish strategy and tactics. It involves F(Ank)-Bla, A(Con)-Bul, and A(Smy)-Con. The Caucasus Front should remain vacant and forgotten both by Russia and Turkey, and Italy must be persuaded to attack Austria-Hungary—for Italy often serves an instrumental role in many Turkish strategies. Therefore, it is most beneficial to pursue this front given benevolent neutrality with Russia and cooperation from Italy.

And the Mediterranean Front concerns Italy—Aegean Sea, Eastern Mediterranean, Greece, Ionian Sea, Smyrna, Syria, and Tunis—and is the most dangerous front to pursue. It is the only defensive Turkish front and involves an early attack from the Italian—who is often aided and abetted by the Austro-Hungarian to pursue such matters—in the form of a Lepanto Opening. Therefore, an alliance with Russia is necessary, forming the Juggernaut Alliance. The best counter involves F(Ank)-Con, A(Con)-Bul, and A(Smy)-Ank, allowing early entry into Aegean Sea. Smyrna can be fortified by building a fleet there, which discourages any further attacks by Italy.
