1900HY2

[snip]

What information are you waiting for?

[Darman]

I think he wants to know if the Transsiberian RR will bring any military and economic benefits

Who hasn't posted 1900 H2 reports?  Anyone?

I'm waiting for a mod ruling on Far East projects before finalizing things.

Transsiberian RR?

Also Manchuria.

What information are you waiting for?

Information on potential economic and military benefits and official costs for the Trans-Siberian and Manchurian railways. I may even extend that to railway projects in general, as the Tashkent Railway (started around 1906) was another major Russian project and there is always the potential for that particular route to grow into a Persian Railway. I don't expect a Persian Railway to happen, but the Tashkent Railway helped open up Central Asia to economic development, particularly large scale cotton cultivation.

Well some part of IC generally speaking will go into things like railroads.  However, the transiberian RR is more militarily important and thus costs money to build other than just the regular cost of an IC.  The initial costs will be for the military part.  As time goes on and you write stories based on increased economic activity in the region the mods may grant you a bonus IC for your RR.

So are we just waiting on Italy, Russia, and Turkey for 1900 H2?

[Darman]

yes.  Tan likes to wait til last I think.  The Ottomans are waiting for the Russians.  And the Russians?  Who knows...

I should be able to finish up H2 today (April 30). I was waiting for information on how to handle the TSR and I now know how to handle it.

Well, if my offer to care-take Austria had been accepted, we could do that.  Wasn't planning on a war with Turkey in 1900, but it's never a bad time for one from Austria's perspective (at least in this century, the 1500s were a different case).  :)

 Russia's 1900H2 report is posted.

Thats soooo true. 

My original plan for the Balkans was what I'm currently trying with the ABCs, constant feuding and fighting.  See-sawing wars.  But no real victors or vanquished.  Just a black hole down which money and arms can be thrown.

So now we're just waiting on Italy for 1900H2.  Is anyone planning on news for 1900, or can we move forward on 1901?

There will be some breaking news coming out of the Far East in late 1900.  More at ten. *cue commercials*
