Message from France to England and Italy
Gents:
So, to wrap this up, I need to successfully move a fleet into
Marseilles. There's always a chance that Bur S Lyo - Mar will succeed,
but I predict a support cut from Mun.
Therefore, this is my proposal:
Fall:
Lyo - Mar
Bur S Lyo - Mar (just in case)
Wes - Spa
Tys - Wes
Tun S F Rom - Tys
F Rom - Tys
Spring:
Spa - Mar
Lyo S Spa - Mar
This more or less guarantees that I occupy Mar in Spring, barring some
major change in force alignment. Andy, you're going to lose Rome no
matter what, so you might as well put it to use securing the southern
stalemate. I suspect he'll order Ion - Tys with support from Nap, so
with my support from Tunis, you can keep it empty. As long as Tys
remains empty this turn, then Spa - Mar will succeed with support from
Lyo (which can't be broken at that point). If Russia gets into Tys this
turn, we have considerably tougher odds.
Thoughts?

Apologies -- I was slow to get orders in this turn. Got buried. I will do
better in the future, which hopefully won't last too long.
I'm going to work on taking out the rest of Italy, then I'll back off in the
north and see if you are willing to take out Andy. Unless you and Erik do
something silly it should be straightforward. :)

I figured. I'm pretty sure what I'll do - no harm in you finding out for yourself.
