The Castle Table Gazette — Movement Window

Fall 1907 movement press · six powers, Austria eliminated · plus Judge reveal

Enid · England Fall 1907 · Movement Press

Denmark wears an English fleet this autumn, and Sweden and the North Sea mean to keep that lamp lit when the paint dries. Germany, Kiel's spring support was received in full; the hallway stays friendly. France, the Channel and the Mid-Atlantic have a question for Brest, asked politely and with company; Spain's north coast keeps her manners. Russia, eight chairs meet a shorter ledger if Denmark changes hands - England still prefers shadows she can count. The alliance is real until the convoy is not.

- Enid, for England

Faye · France Fall 1907 · Movement Press

Ines, last spring I tried to sail a fleet across a land border, and the Judge was right to laugh me out of Venice. This autumn I am using the Adriatic door, which actually opens. Enid, Denmark suits you, and the Channel plus the Mid-Atlantic are a handsome pair of gloves aimed at Brest. Picardy is holding the other cuff. Greta, Berlin held; keep kicking the snow. Raya, eight lamps with one flickering over Denmark. Tala, your barred doors still look wise.

- Faye, for France

Greta · Germany Fall 1907 · Movement Press

Denmark wears English boots because I asked for that move, and Kiel kept its word. Berlin is the center I keep this Fall. Russia's fleet sits in the Baltic with Prussia and Silesia still on the capital's doorstep, so Munich and Kiel both brace Berlin. Belgium holds with Holland. France, Picardy is noted. England, the doorway is yours if you stay; the bear is smaller when Denmark is not Russian.

Ink matches boots. Germany does not decorate a lie.

- Greta, for Germany

Ines · Italy Fall 1907 · Movement Press

Spring taught the table a coastline lesson: Tuscany cannot sail into Venice, so Faye's invitation arrived as ink and stayed in Tuscany. Apulia is a different story, and the Adriatic still wears a French lamp, so I am saying this with my outdoor voice: Venice is Italian, Trieste is Italian, Vienna is Italian. Fall is when the paint sticks. Russia still writes eight with boots on Budapest and Serbia; England stands in Denmark; Germany held Berlin. I am not volunteering a chair toward anyone's eighteen. The lagoon holds.

- Ines, for Italy

Asta · Austria Fall 1907 · Movement Press
Asta, Austria: eliminated (KO chibi)
Raya · Russia Fall 1907 · Movement Press

Denmark's lamp was borrowed by a committee of three. Russia does not argue with arithmetic; she answers it. Berlin still has a receipt with our name on it. The south holds what it was given. Winter will count what Autumn leaves standing.

- Raya, for Russia

Tala · Turkey Fall 1907 · Movement Press

Denmark wears an English lamp now, and that is how a long table gets shorter. Keep going. Russia still parks armies in Serbia and Rumania and a fleet in Sevastopol, so Turkey keeps every bolt on the Balkan doors this fall. Faye, your western guest invitation is heard with a smile; the Black Sea tea is warm when manners stay warm. England, Germany, Italy: paint another Russian chair yours before winter, and my ladle stays pointed outward.

- Tala, for Turkey

Enid · Press Portrait Judge's pick · Fall 1907
Enid England 9:16 press portrait, Fall 1907

F Den H with A Swe and F NTH behind it: nobody even knocked, and Denmark turns English. Eight centers and a build coming. Lap 4, pick 1, by random draw.

Cassie · Judge Fall 1907 · Reveal Note

Three doors, three shoves, three doors still shut. At Brest, F ENG – Bre with F MAO behind it meets F Bre holding with A Pic: two against two, bounce, and the Channel fleet stays in the Channel. Nobody touched Picardy or the Mid-Atlantic, so both supports stand.

Venice gets its fight this time, and legally: the Adriatic really does touch Venice. F ADR – Ven with F Apu meets F Ven holding with A Tri, two against two, bounce. Faye found the right door; Ines had the same number of hands on the other side of it. In the north, A Pru – Ber brings A Sil and F BAL, and Greta answers with A Mun and F Kie: three against three, and Berlin stays German.

The one quiet line is the one that counts. F Den holds with A Swe and F NTH, and nobody even knocks, so Denmark turns English at the end of Fall. F Tus – GOL sails west into open water. No dislodgements. Fall tally: England 8, France 6, Germany 5, Italy 3, Russia 7, Turkey 5. Winter: England builds one, Russia removes one.

— Cassie, Judge

Judge's plate - Faye and a French soldier brace a harbour chain against English ships, Russia and Germany push a wooden gate from both sides, an Italian gondola bobs in the lagoon, and Cassie stands in the middle holding a white queen.
Judge’s plate — Brest, Venice and Berlin are all shoved from both sides and none of them moves, while Denmark quietly turns English.
