I've heard IR called the wintergreen alliance, and EF called the Eastern Juggernaut.

Same here. There is also the Sealion (Russia, France, and Germany against England). There is the Top-of-the-World Sweep (England and Russia), and the Anglo-Saxon, also the Anschluss (Germany and Austria). There is The Peppermint which is Russia and Austria.

There is The Ultimate (France and Italy) and one of my personal favorites The Wall (Austria/England/Germany/and possibly Turkey). There is the Froggernaught (France, Turkey, Russia) and there is The Scissors (Germany, France, and Italy). Auistria, Russia, and Turkey are also known as the Eastern Triple. I call it the Swiss Star (France, Germany, and Italy).

That's all I know adding on from them

I call the Anglo-Turkish alliance the Crunch :) although they both have to do really well for it to work

AIG are the axis powers, AIT are the central powers. (for historic reasons rather than board positions)

Other notable moves are key lepanto, hey bresto, the lisbon leap, and of course operation sealion.

I don't know any russian openings, but austria has hedgehog, southern hedgehog, the balkan gambit, and many variantions; while turkey has it's own hedgehog... can't remember what it's called. That is just opening moves. The juggernaut is by far the most famous alliance

@acmac10: I thought the sealion was the name of an opening, not the alliance.

Also, you called FIG both the Scissors and the Swiss Star. I've heard of FIG being called the Swiss Star, but where does Scissors come from?

@peterwiggen: In a similar vein, playing off the colors, I've heard Austria-Russia called the peppermint alliance, and Austria-Italy called the Christmas alliance.

@loftus99: There have been an endless number of nicknames coined for nearly any conceivable alliance. Some are more commonly used than others.
The fact that you have only heard of the juggernaut and mistakenly assumed that Lepanto is the name of the Austria-Italian alliance is only due to your lack of experience, not that people have never thought of names for the other combinations.
People have pointed out a few examples. Try google or read some random diplomacy articles to see more examples.

Russia has the octopus as an opening, which, if I'm not mistaken is a move to the Black Sea, Galicia, Gulf of Bothnia and St Petersburg, with the goal of stopping England in Norway in the fall.

I guess orathic is pushing the discussion now toward opening names instead of alliance names. Those have been more carefully cataloged and named:

@yebellz sorry for my double listing. The scissors is my personal nickname as they look like scissors.

I thought IGA was called the Triple Alliance since that is the alliance they signed in 1882 and would have had in 1901. Of course Italy backed out at the start of WW1 claiming that it was an alliance of mutual defense, not aggressive action.

Haha, Froggernaut....

@yebellz, that openings url doesn't include the Yorkshire Pudding opening.

@Alderian: Yes, it does, even though that's just a joke opening anyways

Ah, so it is. I was looking in the table for the three units moving to Yor, but it shows all three as HOLD for some reason.

Swiss Star is France, Germany, and Austria, hence the confusion above.

There's the Austria opening called the Hedgehog. I believe it's Vienna -> Galicia, Trieste -> Venice, and Budapest to Serbia.

Germany-Russia should be called Borshch 'n Brats. I'd much rather have that than peppermint or wintergreen.

@LJ -- the Hedgehog proper is vie-gal, tri-ven, bud-rum. The variation where bud goes to ser is the Southern Hedgehog, but is usually considered the superior opening, as it guarantees Austria one build against all possible attacks.

@ petewiggin - Thanks, I had a twinge of doubt about whether my definition was right.

@PresEden: the source that you cited actually lists Swiss Star as FIG, contradicting what you said. I guess you meant to say that scissors is listed as AFG
