Fall 1916

FOR WHOM DOES THE BELL TOLL? IT TOLLS FOR RUSSIA
ITALIAN FLEET IN SIGHT OF LONDON

The Austro-Turkish alliance proved potent once again as both Moscow and the Russian capital of Sevastopol fell. The once intimidating Russia army disintegrated and abandoned its capital as the tsar stood idly by. Rumors abound that the tsar has been arrested by Austro-Hungarian officials, and some report that he has been tried in a secret military court and summarily executed.

Great Britain is in a panic as it prepared for what may be the first successful invasion of the island state since William the Conqueror in 1066. As the Italians took control of the English Channel, the German fleet in Kiel took to sea, which may make the British attempt to defend the North Sea moot.

Will the war end in the fall of 1916? Or will Britain fend off its would-be conquerors?
