Spain is still waiting for a crusade. Who will start?

Turn 20 sent. No DOWs or new regime joins. I must say this is a first for me to be in a game this long without action. It is really interesting to have a scenario that requires so much planning. 1933 is pretty unique.

turn 20,

A message was delivered to Stalin that the Turkish Navy had been spotted in the Black Sea, attempting to hug the Romanian coastline. A terse message was sent to the Turkish leader Attatürk. Its wording was more or less: "withdraw, or else"...

The Turkish navy is only doing some exercises in the Black Sea. While there is no agressive intention towards our German and Soviet friends, we fell this is an excellent opportunity to show thw world our new aircraft carrier.

Turn 21

Tessions raising between Britain and Spain as the Spanish army has deployed some units near Gibraltar and doing a lot of recon in the area. Spanish planes got close to Royal Navy ships, so the British navy opend fire in an act of self defence. The well trained British gunners shot down some Spanish flies.

Soviet planes once again spot the vaunted Turkish navy...

Spain diplomatic note:

It´s not true that Spain moved troops to Gibraltar. We didn´t do it, despite the fact it´s our right to deploy troops in the Spanish territory as we desire. However, we are offering the British a DMZ zone in the hex North of Gibraltar. Spain won´t move any unit in the mentioned hex, as far the fortress isn´t used to attack Spain.

Turn 23 sent. It is now 1935 and no war yet. My dip block lasts for 2 more years.

No one is apparently interested in the Holland or Belgium.

Turn?

I have it. I was busy today, and didn´t get to do it, so far. Sorry. I will look at it ASAP. I got it yesterday from RufusTFirefly, just before i went to bed...

Edit: And I have sent it now

Turn 28 sent and all is still quite. 

Turn 28,

Maneouvers in the Black Sea, conducted by the turks and germans in concert, are being monitored by Soviet warships. Other than that, all is quiet.
