Message from Russia to Austria
Philippe,
So what's your take on the board? Do you like my suggestions? I can't help
but recognize that your suggested orders last season were vastly superior to
mine, so I'd like to hear your thoughts, even if they are the same as mine.
:)

While Andy may pretend to go on the defensive against Erik,
I would expect him to try handling this threat diplomatically
as he finish what he started last spring. Even though keeping
a fleet in Ion was the prudent thing to do and moving it to Gre
instead could have forced Bul's destruction, he still went with
Ion-Gre. The only reason to do so was to make it possible to
destroy Ser, the best positionned unit you had at the time.
As for Jason, with Ank open and an army in Rum, I don't
expect him to support himself as he can attack Sev from Rum
to protect Bla, wich free Con to protect Ank.
So, I expect them to issue the following moves:
Italy: Pie-Ven, Tri-Ser, Adr-Tri supported by Alb & Gre hold.
Turkey: Bul s Tri-Ser, Rum-Sev supported by Bla & Con-Ank.
Since I don't think IT know how much I collaborate with you,
I would suggest the following to keep them guessing and still be
in position to back on the offensive next year:
Austria: Vie-Tri supported by Bud
Russia: Tyr-Ven, Boh-Mun supported by Sil, Ser-Bul, Gal-Rum
supported by Ukr & Sev with Arm supporting Sev.
Since Tri & Rum are getting attacked, there's a chance Ser will
be safe if they try something different, but you are sure of regaining
Rum whatever happen. I doubt Tyr-Ven will work, but it will at
least keep Pie away from us and in Erik's way. Boh-Mun will
allow you to attack Ber in strength next year. At last, my attack
on Tri as a chance of succeeding without making it look like we
are we collaborating closely, even a bounce would be enough to
keep it in my hand, allowing us to replace Ser with Tri in the short
term.
For the north, I simply suggest Hel-Den supported by Swe with
Nwy supporting Swe. My guess being that you will lose two of
them, only one if you are lucky.
Let me know what you think,
Philippe

Ack! This is my first chance to check my personal email since late yesterday.
Overall, I think your ideas sound good. I'd love to hold onto Ser, but since
that can't be guaranteed anyway, I can see how forcing Rum is not bad as an
alternative. And besides, I'm still kicking myself for not following your
suggestions last season, so I'm inclined to listen to you more carefully. :)

Philippe -
I am glad to see you working with Jason again. At least, that's what I'm
guessing from the map.
What's going on over there?

Then I enter my orders as per my suggestion.
Good luck,

I think your guess is as good as mine ;-(
At least, Erik went against Andy, wich is
good for both of us.
