On July 29th, 1914 Russia responded by declaring war on both the German Empire and the Austrian-Hungary Empire for their military aggression towards Serbia, France vows to uphold the their Military Pact with Russia. August 2, 1914 Germany declares war on France, the Ottoman Empire and Italy both relate a message of a promise to uphold their military alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary Empire. German troops are now massing along the Belgium border. The date is now August 3rd, 1914 the official beginning of World War I....or is it? Will the Germans blitz through Belgium and force Britain to enter the war? Will Britain enter anyway? What are the plans for the United States? This is where we start. This is a PBEM WWI Stratagey game of my own creation. Similarities can be based off Axis and Allies, Diplomacy, Risk, etc. This sim includes high diplomacy, military action, and domestic affairs. I have run several versions over the years and unfortuneately my last sim was cut short due to a fried hard drive...it lasted only a few months. Please only respond if truely interested for the long run as this game can possilbly take several months if not a year or so. Postings are required once a week however, it is encouraged to post throughout the week, (game turn.)
