....and start recruiting two more of these divisions.
17 Oct 1913: My Occupation Zone in Arabia now includes Jabal Shammar.
I order 2nd Army to Ankara.
I commence recruiting Reserve Divisions (Jandarma Alayi) for eventual occupation duties.
16 Nov 1913: I deploy my aircraft reserves to northern Ottoman Albania.
19 Nov 1913: 2nd Cavalry Division is fully-trained and I assign to the Balkan Occupation Army.
I convert another division to an Armoured Car Division....
....then assign it to 1st Army.
23 Nov 1913: I now order 2nd Army to Sofia.
I redraw 3rd Army's frontline with Kuwait.
The redeployment 4 days later.
I deploy three more divisions early and place them in training.
29 Nov 1913: 22nd Division is fully-trained and it is assigned to 1st Army.
03 Dec 1913: The technology Improved Infantry Equipment I has been researched.
I select the Doctrine Mobile Position next.
