Message from Germany to Austria and Italy

Well well well........

In the beginning we spoke of AIG, then came the spring moves. It looked as though AT were working together.
I recall stating that I dint believe that Turkey acted alone, the assumption was that this was in conjunction with an AT alliance. Now it seems apparent that RT were allied all along.

Judging by the moves just made I am again assuming (has proven to be a dangerous thing to do) that AI is still not on one line.

The juggernaut definitely seems to be on. The pair of you is tied down and little has changed since s1901.

No doubt Russia will be moving to BOH and pushing UKR to GAL with Turkish support.

I can easily deal with MUN and retake it. My concern is for the long run.

Shouldn’t we be considering getting the AIG on track?

Italy gets a build, a move of NAP - TYS along with a build in NAP to cover the ION offers some safety.
The combined AI armies along the front should be able to hold out if they work together.
I can retake MUN and help along the line in BOH.

I feel unless the two of you or preferably the three of us work together then all 3 of us are doomed.
The central powers are being squashed. Austria and I may even be able to put pressure on WAR. BEL/HOL may be lost anyway, the sooner EF forces share borders the sooner they may fight.

At first I thought the ADR bounce was agreed upon, the support of GRE for BUL only goes to prove how well RT were able to keep their alliance quiet.
Let me know your thought guys before the pair of you are swept away, or do you see things differently.,



Message from Austria to Germany

Tony,

There's no AI. Andy now stabbed me twice in a row and
I'm lucky to have made the defensive move to Adr.

Philippe



Message from Austria to Russia

Eric,

Good moves on your part, just too bad I'm on the
receiving end of it. Now, what are the chances of
your going for Rum with a fleet?

Philippe



Message from Austria to Turkey

Jason,

It seem it's worst then I thought. Since I didn't went with
the bash Turkey plan, they have turned it around and you
have jump right in.

So, let me ask the obvious question. Once I'm gone, what
do you plan to do?

Philippe



Message from Germany to Austria

Thanks, sorry to hear about it but aat least it is clear.



Message from Austria to Germany

Yeah, I wanted Andy to be my primary ally in the
south, but I never got the chance to really trust him.



Message from Austria to Italy

Andy,

What can I say? You seem to think your only road to solo
is through Austria, fine; but I get to choose where I put up
the strongest defence.

Philippe



Message from Austria to Austria

What can I say? It seem I will get to read those comments
soon enough. It's clear I can't trust Andy. He's playing for
the solo, as he should be, and as Italy, it mean taking out
Austria if he can.

As for Jason, I don't know. Was he turned or was the attack
on Russia just a ruse to hide an RT from Andy? My guts
tell me it's the former, but it might simply be wishfull thinking
as the later would mean certain death for me.

Philippe



Message from Turkey to Austria

Look, I know about you wanting Italy to support you to Bul, so I don't

Italy.

What are you talkng about....

You actually have to TELL me you are moving to BUL if you want me to write
the support order for it.

I even sent you a note yesterday afternoon that I didnt get a response to,
asking that question directly.

I didnt stab you, and I was told by the French that you were offering to
support him into Venice, I had to do something to stop it.

Andy



Message from Austria to Turkey

> Look, I know about you wanting Italy to support you to Bul, so I don't
> know why you're acting all surprised.

In case you aren't pretending, you should know that Italy made
the offer of support against Bul with all sort of other promises,
not the contrary. I limited myself to telling him to support Rum-
Bul, but not to expect me to use it since I couldn't rely on him.

Instead, I did what I could to protect myself from Italy and what
I suspected to be his turkish ally, but could not protect myself
from all my neighbours at the same time; and to think I was
bidding my time to see who I could trust!?!

Your call. If you rather trust Italy & Russia, there's nothing I
can do about it.

So, please let me know if that's the case as soon as possible,

Philippe



Message from England to Austria

Philippe -
Well, the help I can offer is, I can try to deal with Russia in the North.

What you could do to help me is, try to get Germany to go after Russia, too. I am negotiating for his help but it would not hurt for you to point out to him that a strong Austria is good for Germany, etc.

I was disappointed but not surprised to see the results. Oh, well; perhaps if Russia starts to get pinched elsewhere the RTI will begin to come apart.

Ben



Message from Russia to Austria

Philippe,

I wish you had said something more definitive about your plans. Given that
you gave no guarantees that you would not take Gal, or that Rum would be
used against me, I felt I had to do something to get Jason off my back.
Offering Sev S Arm-Rum is the obvious choice, because it clears out Arm.

I have NO desire to see you torn apart by Turkey or Italy. I'm quite sure
from how press has gone that Andy is pulling Jason's strings, and any
builds he gets from you will end up coming after me. What I would like to
do is what we discussed originally -- me taking Rum, and using the build to
hit Turkey.

I'm open for other possibilities, but that was my thinking in taking Gal --
making sure you wouldn't retreat there, but also having enough pressure on
Rum to retake it if it fell.

I'm short on time today, but will try to write more tonight.

Message from Russia to Austria

Philippe,

Sorry, I didn't see your message in the plethora of "pinnacle" press in my
inbox until after sending that last one. I think I answered your question
nonetheless.

I'm not sure you will like the solution I'm contemplating. Beside Andy
who's definitely stabbing me time after time, I feel that Eric is playing
me while Andy is playing Jason. The obvious way for me to go would
be to ally myself with Eric to resist Andy & Jason, but I have a feeling
that IR is hard at work here.

Whatever understanding I had with Jason at the start of the game is
now gone and I don't think I can get it back. If I had done something
wrong, I could always explain myself; but if Jason prefer to believe
whatever Andy is feeding him, there's nothing for me to do beside
telling him the truth he won't believe.

To get out of this mess, I'm thinking of favorizing a real RT. If I can
get Eric & Jason to really think in term of an RT alliance, it would put
Andy in a difficult position on the board as well as off the board. I
doubt that whatever understanding he might have with Eric could
survive a good shot at an RT and I would expect that it would get
harder for him to feed Jason lies after lies. From there, I could hope
to work my way out of whatever little hole I'm left with or at least
make Andy pay for his choices.

Now, I will wait to see how Jason follow up on my last press before
starting to work on implementing this desperate strategy; but for this
plan to work, I need to start this fall or I will be too late to really
influence who get what.

In the mean time, don't hesitate to share any insights you might have,
but please keep this to yourself. Once I know what I want to do, I
will tell you about it and you will have enough time to setup whatever
you feel is necessary.

Message from Austria to Italy

When you offered the support, I told you to support Rum-Bul
just in case and we both know I wanted to use this as proof of
intent.

> I even sent you a note yesterday afternoon that I didnt get a response to,

The only press you sent me yesterday arrived pass 10 pm eastern
time zone, 2 hours before the results came in, and I didn't get to
read that press until this morning. More then that, it had nothing to
do with any support of Bul.

> I didnt stab you, and I was told by the French that you were offering to

Of course, you send me a rumour two hours before the dl and it
excuse your moves. I would be tempted to use this one in my
other games, but it's a bit weak and I doubt I would be taken
seriously.

Listen Andy, I don't believe you and I'm not about to unless you
stop behaving as an italian gunning for Austria. The only mistake
I made last turn was to protect Tri with Vie instead of using it to
cover Gal.

Take care,

Philippe

You are probably right. Most 3-way alliances have a dominant pair.

What is the truth? I still don't know what happened. I'll help if I can.

Well, this is an interesting strategy for you. I wish you the best of luck
with it, but I have two things for you to consider:
1. An RT has *one* target in common. That's Austria. You. So by the time
Andy would have to worry about them, you'd be gone.
2. Andy has been negotiating heavily with each of R and T, as you know. I
do not think there is anything you or I could do to persuade Andy that RT
are closer to each other than IR or IT. In other words, even if there *is*
an RT, I do not think Andy will mind, as he will think he is in the
driver's seat. And who knows - he may be.

Thank you. For now, you have such insight as I can give. I wish I was
better, and had more to tell you.

No. First you told me to hold off til you confirmed, then you said to go
ahead and order it, adn if you decide to use it, it will be there.

And that felt wayyyyyyyy too much like you were setting me up....so I at
least made the Turk feel like I wasnt attacking him.

I sent you press about 12 hours before that.

Message from Austria to England

Nothing special. Since last winter, Jason went paranoïd
about Bul while I didn't make any plan to get it. Since
this seem weak, there's probably other lies, but Jason
didn't bother telling me about them since he doesn't trust
me anymore.

I realise this; but if I can make sure Andy doesn't get anything
and lose Greece, I don't care if he "think" he's in the driver's
seat. He will have to react or perish.

I haven't heard back from Jason. I will wait until 12pm eastern

Wrong! Here's our recent discussion. I haven't omitted anything
beside the introductions. When the answer include the question in
it's reply, I didn't bother putting the question with a timestamp.

Message from Austria to Russia

Hi Eric,

I have had it with Andy and I decided to do something special.
While there's at least an IT in the short term, if not an IRT, the
chances of an IR being worked out in the long term are good
enough for me to worry about it.

So, instead of working in term of an AR to oppose the IT, I
decided to favor an RT for the moment. The goal would be to
sever Andy's relation in the east, then dig myself out to try to
achieve something. To do so, I would open one of my sc to
you so you don't have to attack Jason in Rum to make gains.
Hopefully, you would then use this gain in the north instead
of trying to quickly eliminate me.

All I ask from you is that this be kept secret from Andy as long
as possible and that he doesn't get to make gains in the east.

Let me know what you think of this,

Philippe



Message from Austria to Turkey

Hi Jason,

Since it's not possible to convince you that you're being
mislead and that I'm telling you the truth, I have decided
to try something drastic.

I will favor an RT so you get the opportunity to go after
Italy, like you wanted before all the lies pointed you in my
direction, and so you don't get squeeze between IR

The plan is simple. I will vacate Ser and use Bud to
support you in Rum, while you also support Rum from
Bla and support Bul-Ser from Rum, covering Bul with
Con.

All I ask is that you use those two gains to build fleets to
go after Italy and that you remain in Rum & Bla so it's
possible to go after Russia later on. Also, please keep
this secret from Andy. Even if you don't trust me, the
only thing I'm asking you to do this turn is attack me, so
he doesn't need to know.

Let me know what you think of this,

Philippe



Message from Austria to England

Message from Russia to Austria

Philippe,

>To do so, I would open one of my sc to
>you so you don't have to attack Jason in Rum to make gains.

The only thing is that I don't understand how you can ensure that Andy
doesn't get a build, unless you know what Jason is trying for. Bud is the
only unit that can support Ser, and if Rum supports any action into Ser,
the only thing that could stop it is me at least tapping Rum (Bud has to
provide the support). And if Rum taps Bud or is the mover to Ser, then even
tapping Rum won't stop Ser from falling. With your home SC's covered,
leaving Rum free isn't a problem for them. I guess my point is that I
cannot ensure that Andy won't make gains, especially if it's clear to Jason
that Rum isn't at risk.

>Hopefully, you would then use this gain in the north instead
>of trying to quickly eliminate me.

Eliminating someone who's helping you is bad for business (I'm having a
Tzarface flashback with that statement!). I would not do that to you. I
trust that you can see that I would have a significant self-interest in
partnering with a smaller-than usual Austria.

>All I ask from you is that this be kept secret from Andy as long
>as possible and that he doesn't get to make gains in the east.

That's not a problem. I can see that trying to make an RT look clear will
galvanize the board on your side more than a more "unlikely" IT. (Though IT
could probably get Erik's attention quickly!)

So explain to me in more detail what you want to do.

All I can hope is that my offer is good enough for Jason;
but it's true that you can't make any promises for Serbia.
I will be happy with your making sure of what you can
on your side; but please refrain from attacking Jason as
I would prefer to see him fully trust you instead of keeping
things up with Andy.

I really hope so.

Erik doesn't look like he can handle an IT at the moment.

Simple, I send Vie-Boh and you simply walk in. Once
there, I trust that you won't support Andy east and would
rather make gains yourself then do so.

Message from Turkey to Austria

I promise to build a fleet this turn, no problem, and I'm not leaving
Bla as far as I can see.

I'll see about Ser. There's a lot of demand on it these days, and I'm
sure you understand.

jason



Message from Austria to Russia

Eric,

We have a problem. It seem that Jason's relation with Andy is much
stronger then I thought. I told him I wanted to favor an RT and
offered him Serbia, but here's what he said about that: "I'll see about
Ser. There's a lot of demand on it these days".

With that kind of response, I doubt anything can be done to break
this IT relationship and I'm forced to go back to the previous plan of
getting your fleet in Rum so you can dislodged him from Bla. The
best way of doing it is probably to support Sev-Rum from Ukr, Gal
& Ser while I support Ser from Bud in case it can be salvaged.

If you have a better idea, I look forward to hearing it,

Philippe



Message from France to Austria

Phillipe:

Things aren't looking so hot for you right now, I have to say. That
Russian support of Turkey sort of baked your plans, didn't it? I wish I
could have given you some kind of warning, but all I had were hints from
third parties that you and Turkey weren't getting along.

Alas, Tyr is no longer there, so I can't even help you out there. Perhaps
we really should have grabbed at Italy when we had the chance.

So what's your plan now? England and I are still chiseling away at Tony;
I certainly didn't expect Tyr-Mun to work, but hey, I'll take it.

Clearly I've been off all weekend. I've gotten some press from each of Andy
and Jason and there might be some room to break up the IT. I'll see what I
can do about that and get back to you.

I know you won't overlook this, but do note that if you move Tri again,
there's a chance Ven could take it. Hearing you think about moving to Boh
makes me concerned that you might not think about bouncing Ven-Tri should it
happen (perhaps you were thinking about Bud-Tri, Ser-Bud, Vie-Boh, but that's
putting a lot of trust in Jason not move Bul-Ser instead of Rum-Ser).

Anyway, your defense is hardly my business, but I wanted to share the things
I was worried about that will hopefully help you.

--- Eric



Message from Austria to England

> I am really curious to know how they respond.

To paint the right picture, you should know that I made
separate offer of Vienna to Russia & Serbia to Turkey
so he could build 2 fleets to go after Italy.

Eric accepted, but Jason told me he needed to think
about it since there was alot of demand for Serbia!?!

I didn't bother replying to Jason as I don't see the point
of trying to convince him to kill me in alliance with Eric
if he's allready so involved in killing me with Andy. I will
see what can be done with Eric, but I wouldn't worry
about any RT in your place.

P.-S. If you can make sense of Jason for me, please do
so as I'm done trying to.

I would appreciate it if you would keep this morsel between us. The image
of an RT is very helpful to me right now. Thank you for the excellent
insight.

My insight about Jason is, he is well-meaning but inexperienced. He will
get better, but hopefully only as much as we want him to, for now.

Hardly a news-flash, I know.

Godspeed.

Message from Russia to Austria

Philippe,

I don't have high hopes of getting Jason to change his mind, but I think the
moves are likely to work out in a way that will keep you fairly happy. Until
I hear something from Jason, I'm still planning to take Rum as we've
discussed.

I don't think that what (if anything) gets discussed between Jason and I will
impact your moves at all though.

I realize I haven't said anything of value in this message, but I wanted you
to know that I'm not looking to do anything that will require last minute
complex coordination between you and me.

No, that's perfect. I wanted to make sure that I
wasn't supporting Sev-Rum for nothing.
