Powers: England/Italy Stage: Mid-game/Endgame Primary Target(s): France, Germany, Russia Also known as… ??? Associated 3-way alliances: The Spaghetti Western, The Guillotine, The Maritime Triple The E/I alliance is not a great Early Game alliance on its own.

England’s Opening Moves: Splits Openings and the Western Opening
I’m putting the Splits openings and the Western Opening in the same post because, although some will disagree, there is really only one version of the Western Opening that makes any kind of sense (and that’s pushing it!) The Splits openings These openings are strange. I wouldn’t say I’d never use them but there isContinue reading “England’s Opening Moves: Splits Openings and the Western Opening”
England’s Opening Moves: Southern Openings
Having looked at England’s Northern openings, let’s have a look at the Southern openings that could be an option.

These openingsContinue reading “England’s Opening Moves: Introduction”
Early Game Alliances: England/Germany
The “Anglo-Saxon” alliance is the name given to the alliance between England and Germany. Honestly, though, I prefer the simpler name of Saxon alliance, in the same way I prefer the Entente alliance to “Entente Cordiale” for the Anglo-French alliance. England’s POV As I mentioned in the first post in this series, England’s best chanceContinue reading “Early Game Alliances: England/Germany”
