So I finally seem to have permission to post here, and it kind of bothered me that for those of you existing solely on these forums you only get the Entente point of view unless I mention something out of hand. So without further ado, I will be posting all future OttoUpdates here as well . The previous ones can be found in the Paradox OT CP thread which is linked below, and if you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

OttoUpdate 24: Late November, 1915
It was fairly quiet on the Ottoman sector of the front this turn, but don't worry, I'll be updating on the other major events too. Initially this turn we will start on the Xanthi front, where the depot of Sufli is begun to help keep up a steady stream of supplies to Xanthi in adverse weather.
Now into Anatolia. The Italians have landed a pair of corps far away from one another, probably to annoy me and try to draw away forces from other fronts. Irritating but no big deal as each seems to be only a corps or so. I send Nazim Pasha from Antalaya to deal with the Italians outside of Izmir this turn. While under normal circumstances I would trust the Izmir garrison to handle a lone corps alone under the guns of the Italian fleet I'd rather play it safe. I specifically target the Italian force and not the province for movement so I can get them even if they move.
In the Caucasus the Southern pass unfortunately fills with mud and snow so I call off the attack on Erzurum. I send the ever suffering 4. Ordusu to guard the Northern pass while 1. Ordusu is sent south to Gaziantep. From there they can support against the Italian raids in Anatolia if need be but depending on how well the Palestine front goes I may want them available to invade Egypt after the Arab revolt is dealt with. I may finally fulfill that endlessly repeated expectation of presenting Cairo to the central powers
In Palestine I set up a game of table tennis with the remnants of the British army as the ball, hopefully I should eliminate some of their divisions from the order of battle this turn.
Now that all British MC is finally eliminated in Kuwait I decide to go ahead and send Nazim Pasha up to a position from whence he would be able to move into Persia when the time comes. The entente have Afghanistan aligned to them about 10% less than we have Persia to us and I don't want the Qajar sha to prove a liability.
Aden falls by assault to 3. Ordusu this turn. With that done with I move the army to position to suppress the Arab revolt when the time comes.
The Germans defeat the Russians outside Riga and place the city under siege. As I understand it, TLG will now be transporting a good number of these troops south to the Polish front.
They also defeat the Russo-Romanian army at the end of the Northern pass and drive them away from Bucharest.
And destroy a Romanian cavalry division as well.
The French "Win" against Lettow-Vorbeck in Africa.
And the Austrians smash a Russian offensive at Lublin,
