Not sure. I may have a need for Tyrolia down south....why would I be
spporting Germany back into Munich...other than to slow the Russian down,
who is likely my only ally on the east side of the board.

Slowing the Russian down. Not even stopping - just slowing down. That's
the reason. If you can't you can't.

I am thinking the best way for you to slow down the Russian is be as
formidible as you can be, when the time comes.....

You are guaranteed one build, and should get 2 from the French.

That will give you the fleets to go play in Scandanavia.

I am proud to say, this is the plan I had already come up with. The problem
is if Russia gets three builds then I think I still end up getting squished.


*Unless* you can get Turkey to go after RUM, which I am mentioning to him as
well - turning Russian attention south. It seems a natural move. . .

My feeling is that he can get 3 builds and we may have no say at all in
it.

Im working on it.



Message from England to Turkey

Jason -
It appears I've badly miscalculated, in that I did not think Eric would wind
up in MUN, and now I do not know if there is a way to keep him from three
builds. Clearly he is not now in a position where any of us can contain
him. My question is, are you prepared to go to RUM this season. I do not
know when you would get another chance, in BLA with overwhelming force
against one of his sc's.

I don't need or want a commitment - but I want you to think about it long
and hard. With Andy entangled with Erik, you should end up with the lion's
share of the Balkans, and the Austrian home centers, and at least SEV from
Russia, with an easily defended border, and a chance to press either further
north, or into the Italian centers, or both, over time.

Anyway, whatever you choose, good luck & godspeed.

Ben



Message from England to France

Erik -
What I am envisioning is that we arrange a dance wherein I capture HOL and BEL but IRI held harmlessly at bay - a bounce in MAO, I guess - in order that I can build in the winter the necessary units for going north. There is not a satisfactory move set for me right now to go north; by the time I arrived the northern Russian fleets would be well constructed and battle-ready. If on the other hand I could *build* a F EDI, that would be a big help.

So my thinking is, set up the fall to swap HOL and BEL to me, but otherwise not advance my position further into yours. This should withstand the loss of KIE, if that happens, so I could still build a F EDI. Meanwhile the loss to you would be those armies, which are not efficiently placed for further advancement anyway, trapped as they are behind my F KIE, etc.

It is just an idea, but I think it's a good one.

What do you think?

Ben



Message from England to Russia

Eric -
Ok, I've begun to look at the map.

Good lord, you lucked right into MUN, didn't you.

The first thing I notice when I look at the map is, REF, working together,
could convoy your A NWY to NAF.

The second thing is, concerning your proposal for MUN - KIE. Let us listen
to Tony's threats/lies & try to pick out the truth. It's a tricky
situation, and I'd be loathe to look back on it and say, you shot an
innocent English dot when you were aiming at the evil German dot.

Ben

Frankly, I don't like it. I realize I'm not in a position to negotiate
much, but while I'm willing to concede Holland, I'd really rather not lose
two centers. That's going to put me in an exceptionally weak position
going forward while you're hanging off my coast with a huge Armada. I will
not be in a position to anything other than watch over my shoulder and
prepare to defend against your attack. Given that, it still doesn't make
any sense for me to do anything but fight you tooth and nail, and that's
going to give the Russian a big advantage.

What I think really makes more sense is for me to try to push through Kiel
/ Munich / Ruhr and try to get in a position where I can threaten Russian
holdings in Austria / Warsaw, while at the same time keeping a fleet or
two down south to both hold the Italian in check and perhaps give him
assistance against Turkey. Despite my sudden move toward him, he and I are
actually talking a lot more than we used to, and I don't think this is out
of the question.

Look, it's becoming clear that Russia is in a fantastic position right now,
and he's going to start having solo opportunities if we don't start doing
something about it now. But, all efforts to stop the leader aside, I still
have to do what I can to keep my own position strong, and losing both Hol
and Bel doesn't really make me feel like I'm doing that. You're not going
to lose Kiel this turn, so taking Holland will still give you that build
in Edi.

Ben



Message from England to England

I am finding it very difficult to negotiate with Erik. This will be the
second movement phase in a row in which I presented a plan favorable to an
EF, which he shoots down because as far as I can tell, he is counting dots.
I am offering to go to war with another power and vacate ENG, while he loses
two units that weren't doing anything but defending each other anyway.

I will rummage through my trick bag and try to find a voice that he listens
to, though I'm running out of options.

Can you order BUR s BEL? If so then I can just order the attacks on HOL

you'd just be giving me HOL and keeping BEL.

Thanks. I am particularly interested in what Andy is up to, if you've heard
anything interesting. He's asking me to attack France ("cut out his heart")
but of course that's what he'd say to *me* - I wonder what he's telling
others.

Ben



Message from Russia to England

Ben,

I've got to run, but wanted to drop a line. Tony is telling me (and Erik, in
joint press) that he's going to move Ber-Kie and support Hol with Ruh. If
that's the case, I should probably move Mun-Ruh to cut support and probably
move Bal-Kie to bounce Ber-Kie (this is assuming he's telling me the truth --
let me know if you don't want this). It also means that you'll need to move
Kie-Hol, Hel S Kie-Hol and Nth will have to support Hol or tap Bel if I've
got the right map in my head.

I cannot imagine that he will not tap Kie -- but even if he chooses Ruh S
Ber-Kie or Ber S Ruh-Kie I think my suggestions would still work. The only
thing that could go wrong is if he holds in Ber.

The other downside is that given that I'd be using Bal and Mun on your
behalf, I won't be able to get rid of Ber yet. But I think that only means
that next year I'll have to use at least one of Mun or Bal on that task
(while also keeping Kie yours). But with Hol gone that should be quite
doable.

Let me know what you think, but I'll be away, so don't expect an immediate
response.

Message from Russia to all

The holiday season is upon me in about half an hour when I will be leaving
for this year's family get togethers.

The conditions in the gathering place are so primitive that neither a TiVo
nor a network connection is available, so unless someone wants to call me on
the phone (and there is no answering machine there either!) I will not be
available for negotiations until I return late Sunday or early Monday.

Happy (early) holidays everyone!

--- Eric



Message from England to England

With Turkey taking RUM and Russia conceding BER I am sufficiently comforted that I can go on after Erik. This decision, along with others I've made recently, was an open question at the beginning of the phase, but the saber-rattling and dot-counting coming from Erik has pushed me toward the riskier course of attacking France.

Erik's proposal is a slow death for England - not growing quickly enough to be able to generate a southern stab; squished eventually between FR.

Eric's proposal is of course for a Russian solo, and he and I will have to race to the stab of the other. He will have opportunities for faster growth, but I can deploy to the theater faster and in greater force. Attacking France now & stabbing Russia soon is the risky course for me, as if I fail I will surely be eliminated.

Ben



Message from England to France

Ok, to recap the last few presses I sent you:
I am currently proposing that you support BEL so I can attack BEL and HOL
but take only HOL, thus preserving the appearance of war between us. The

possible.

Also you mentioned that you did not think I would lose KIE and I asked you
whether you'd heard anything on that point.

I know you are busy - get back to me when you can.

I could offer it, but it should certainly make Erik suspicious as he
should never come to expect it after he has just attacked me

I could do it, but it will likely make him more suspicious than need be.



Message from Turkey to England

Agreed on A Rum - it would give me a nice advantage.

I've talked with Andy a little - he'll head west against France if I
give him Gre back. I'm leaning toward doing that, since I can't afford
France breaking through and taking me out. I'd say work with him on
France, since he's likely to back you up.

That's acceptable. The question is, how can I best contribute to a defense
against Russia? Is it worthwhile to plow through Munich, or should I just
keep heading toward the Med?

Instead of taking Holland, you could take Belgium, leaving Holland to
*support* Kiel. If Hel supports Kiel also, you can keep it no matter what.
I think I can get German support into Munich, purely out of spite, and
that keeps me at the same center count while you take Bel from Eng. It
sounds a little crazy, but it may make sense.

What do you think?

Heh. What I wanted was for BUR not to be supporting BEL. But if you don't think there'd be a point in offering the support - in other words, if you don't think he'd take the bait - don't bother.

If Turkey is taking RUM with an army and you think TR war is on the horizon - go to PIE. Defend yourself, for god's sake. Even if TR is not splitting up, if you are not prepared to go against Russia, go to PIE.

Sorry, but I was disappointed not to see you move
against Russia last turn. I suppose that you couldn't
be sure of France at the time, but with your hello
that didn't mention anything regarding a move on
Russia, I got worried.

Jason, if he goes against *Italy* then Andy will be pinned down and fully
occupied while you deal with A/R.

If on the other hand Erik is trying to fight on two fronts then (a) Andy
will be stronger and (b) I will be weaker, which I would not have thought
would be your goal. This is important because if F MAO goes *south* this
phase then things will be very good for us, as you will have access to
Andy's flank and I will have access to Erik's.

Please consider advising Erik accordingly.

Definitely MUN will have to be French, but I do not see that happening in
the coming year. Perhaps you can use private channels to prop up Germany
for a time? As to the Med, I certainly do not need navel assistance (sp?
;-)). So I would encourage you to maximize the value of your fleets by
pressing Andy. TUN once captured is easily held and you will hopefully have
a good chance at the Italian home centers, if Andy continues to press East.
If not, you will have to grind them out, but you should still be able to
squeeze him with assistance from Jason (until he's stabbed by Russia).

I'd prefer to see it head north, and if I'm supporting you anyway, there's
no need to keep the "we're fighting" ruse going. You've got more than
enough fleet power to dominate Scandanavia regardless of the Russians
building F StP (Nc), and he'll probably do that anyway. I would encourage
you to send as much firepower his way as possible.

You're right, Munich probably won't be mine, but I think I can handle the
loss of Belgium alone this turn, and with luck, I'll be able to gain
enough to cover that and Holland in the next year.

So I'll support Kiel from Holland and ensure that you keep it, and you'll
take Bel from Eng (and head north from Iri?), thereby easing my anxiety.
Does that sound like a deal?

Jason is definitely worried about a Russian stab (and for obvious good
reasons). We should encourage that paranoia -- even though it means less
help against Andy, it's better for all of us in the long run to see RT
cooperation come to an end.

I can commit to heading north from IRI if you can commit to heading south
from MAO, which I imagine you were doing anyway.

Absolutely. The worse the chaos in the East, the better for us. Also
Turkish pressure against Eric would be a good thing.

I need to know whether you will be loaning him MUN. I am guessing you are
not, but please confirm. I would be pleased to see BUR - MUN, though.

No of course you should not ask him outright.

:-) We shot ourselves in the foot a few times this season, most notably
against the fine Raiders of Oakland, in which game we gave up 10 points to
the Raiders on exactly one (1) yard of offense to begin the contest. Peeyu.
But that (a) we should beat the snot out of Cleveland while (b) Cincinnati
loses away against a tough St. Louis team, is hardly a smile from the
football gods, it's just the tail end of the season's schedule playing
pretty much the way we expected. Our schedule wound down easier than
theirs. Big game Sunday night vs. Pittsburgh coming up.

I was thinking that Munich looks nice in grey. It's much truer to it's
original color of black than the French light blue units. So no, I was not
planning on giving up Mun, though seeing France move Bur-Mun is not out of
the question either. If I'm not mistaken you still want me to move Mun-Ruh,
so realistically I cannot guarantee that I'll hold Mun if Tony and Erik team
up, but that seems unlikely. Outside of that, I'd have a hard time actually
giving up Mun to Erik, since I can't help dislodge my own unit in Mun, and
there's really nowhere for that unit to go voluntarily!

And my apologies if I insulted you by indicating that there was some sort of
providence involved with the Ravens beating the Browns. But then again, it is
not clear that any team that loses to Raiders isn't getting some divine
intervention when they win. :)

Message from England to England

Tough call, how to proceed tactically. My hope is for MAO - BRE. I
considered moving to PIC, but once again am choosing the risky play - for
BEL and HOL both - if it fails and I bounce in MAO then further progress
against France will be difficult.
