What up wit dat Fall 1912

It's now a case of "slow and steady wins the race".

I'm consistently taking one SP after another. He's holding his line quite nicely in the north of Europe but I'm all over him. Here's after the retreat and build phases:

It seems strange that he's elected to remove some of his defenses from my side rather than against England. I'm going to be taking his home supply centers any minute now, you'd think he'd want to keep them. Maybe he'd rather I win than England?

England's been asking me for end game conditions. I think this is a game where I'd be almost happy with the shared win. But the solo is so tempting. I came from (almost) nothing to being the strongest player on the board now. I'll see how far away England is when I get closer to 18 before I make my decision.
