Description:

Each player role-plays as a leader of a country.  The Game started in
1901, just after the death of Queen Victoria but have just progressed onto
1902.

In May 1901 the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I attempted to annex the
loosely held Ottoman province of Libya, the Sultan refused to relinquish
it without a fight.  The war quickly escalated, into a major European war
and now a global conflict.

(Austria-Hungary, Germany, Britain, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Serbia,
Greece, Sweden-Norway, Japan vs. Ottoman Empire, Russia, France).  Yes the
war has made some strange alliances.

It is now January 1902.  German forces are a few miles from Paris, the
Ottoman Empire has lost all but a tiny corner of the balkans, Russia is
slowly being defeated.
