Korpen,

what about setting up a scenario in TOAW III? You could use the Balkans map without any change.

[miketr]

In light of the increased tension around the Ottoman empire the Kingdom of the united Netherlands make the following promise. Any attempt by anyone to destroy, close, or in any way disrupt the shipping and traffic to the port of Jeddah will trigger direct Netherlands intervention. The same goes for any other attempt direct or indirect to disrupt the 1912 Hajj in any way and thereby endanger pious Netherlands subjects will trigger direct intervention.

The United Kingdom of the Netherlands, as well as the East Sea Confederation, hereby guarantees the independence and territorial sovereignty of the Kingdom of Romania as long as the Kingdom of Rumania remains Neutral in the Balkan war. Any attempt by the belligerents or other states to by force or other means try and force Rumania to give up it sacred neutrality will be met by a most forceful response by the Kingdom of the United Netherlands as well as the Confederation of the East Sea (Baltic confederation).
