The Gypsy & The Count S S Engle

Eastern Europe has been in the shadows of the Western Front for much of the past year. But now that Russia's dearest ally in France is having trouble of immeasurable proportions, it has been decided by the questionable powers that be to redirect Germany and Austro-Hungary's attention back to the forgotten East. Russia has been building her armies, albeit with somewhat unenthusiastic men, and they now outnumber her enemies on an average of four to one for every interaction. However, outnumbering isn't always a clear path to victory if one's armies do not have the will to win. It is becoming evident that Germany, even with splitting their attention in two, is still striving towards their goals with relative ease. The propaganda machines are running heavy in the big cities of all major European countries, and the civilians are the ones paying the ultimate toll when the day is done. Tensions are rising with the hometown deaths. The less boys that return home, the more the people unravel in their uneasy little towns. The gypsies and aristocrats alike are not dealing with this well. Aanya is trying to put on a brave face for the benefit of others, while the Count of Kaliningrad is forced to fulfill his promises. Will 1916 be enough to break him?
