1901 instant analysis – France fends off the English southern opening by bouncing him in the Channel, then takes the Channel in the fall while still getting Belgium & Spain; combined with Germany bouncing England in the North Sea & building a second fleet, it looks like a G/F alliance with Russia willing to stand by and watch. In the south, Russia has let Austria into Galicia while butting heads with Turkey; that may be less ominous for Russia if Austria/Italy interrupt the R/T conflict with a Lepanto on Turkey. (Alternatively, Italy could try to go west before France gets too strong, leaving Austria to play Turkey & Russia against each other.)
1902 – It’s Germany who decides to pre-empt France’s potential rise, slipping into Ruhr & Burgundy as France moves his units north against England. France’s counterattack in the fall is disastrous, as he not only surrenders Belgium but “forces” German A Burgundy to retreat to Paris (it could have chosen Marseilles, which is now threatened by Italy). Austria generously supports Russia into Rumania *and* lets Italy into Greece while taking Bulgaria for himself… the “Central Triple” is looking good at the moment.
