Commentary and Analysis for Game 1 of Group B:
It has been a 1901 of prospering alliances and enemies. Instead of the Northern Opening which is a common opening move, England has opted to move south and potentially face France. But for this year the suspected attack did not occur, and the result of the deceiving move was to attain Belgium. England has also lucked out on Russia’s NMR, leaving him free to take Norway in 1902.
France is facing trouble on an incoming England and tentatively Germany, and we’ll see if Germany will aid either side in this old duel between familiar enemies. The tides will change depending on where he builds this year. Germany will also most likely go for Sweden and head toward Russia because of a NMR.
Italy is in a state of despair because of the builds (or lack thereof). He did not acquire any SC’s, which will surely affect Austria’s influence on what to do with his 2 builds. The two seemed to be allies in 1901 but maybe miscommunication could bring a downfall to this alliance and ultimately Italy. Austria has also lucked out of the NMR from Russia, as this will affect the game to a great length.
Turkey and Russia: a juggernaught? Maybe, as the two seem to be in accordance, as Turkey seems to be heading west for the time being. Turkey grabbed the standard Bulgaria, it will be interesting what he does with his builds and upcoming moves.
Commentary and Analysis for Game 2 of Group B:
England strode in safely to Norway, and his builds will change the focus of the game. England’s move from the Norwegian Sea to Norway reflects his alliance with Russia, and Germany better be prepared; if he isn’t he will soon be defeated. Russia is also putting pressure on the Austrian front, closing into Galicia in the fall. He achieved 2 builds, and will likely build in Warsaw.
France attained 3 builds this year, as he captured to standard Portugal and Spain. Also with Germany and England leaving Belgium to himself, he proceeded to get Belgium. Germany smartly bounced in Munich, as he saw Italy’s army in Tyrolia. Italy also bounced in Trieste, giving us a glance of what may become a feud between the two nations. Turkey tried to get Bulgaria, but failed with Austria’s support move.
