Game 2: Ministry Commences

Gentlemen: it is spring 1901. The map is as it is at start:



I shall work out when your first moves are due, but plan on approximately one week from now, if possible.

Until then, the telegraphs are open and you may converse freely.

Please CC: me on EVERY correspondence with another player, no matter how well you know him. Thanks

Also, I would like opening statements from ALL PLAYERS if possible... you know the drill.. "It is the position of the Tsar that we are all freedom loving peoples and we wish to protect our interests and arrive at a mutual accord and blah blah blah..."

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
