Message from Austria to Italy
Hi Andy,
Any idea for this year? France seem to be backing off
and Turkey isn't investing in naval power, this should
leave you with plenty of room to maneuver.

A little late in the game but is there any chance of AI doing something
together? RT will be all over you this year
Message from Germany to Austria and Italy
If you guys opt to pick at Russia one sc at a time then support of kie - mun
would be appreciated.
I think this time around EFG will be working together. Although Russia can
retreat to BER an EFG can help AI in the short term. I am sure all three of
us would prefer Russia to solo than just have us 3 removed. Lets delay that
option for as long as possible. I can see TYR doing anything else useful
right now. There is always hope ;-)
Message from France to Italy
No, no attack is imminent. Even if I were to continue down that foolish
path, I don't havwe the strength to do much. I'm hoping that we can
finally deal with Russia up north, and I'm obviously hoping that you'll
keep after Jason. My fleets will be covering Iberia.

Beside help me survive, I don't know ;-) Seriously, I would
appreciate seeing you move Tyr-Boh and have your fleets
put some pressure on Turkey; but I'm open to any plans you
might have.

No problem.

Message from Russia to Italy
Andy,
The pace of this game must be boring you to tears. For me, it still seems --
well, not fast, but fast enough -- because of how little time I've had to
spend on it (well, excepting over the holidays, when I had enough time, but
there was no one around to talk to then).
I'm still not inclined to do anything to Vie at this moment. Is there any
reason you can think of that I should? Andything [that's a typo, but I
thought it was funny enough to leave in there] else that we should be talking
about?
Also, do you expect Jason will try to take back Gre?

Can I get a support to Munich.

Tony,
Can I get a support to Munich...
If you bounce with him in Berlin, it pops the unit there and you can have
it back in the Fall as I will move east.

Hi Andy,
>>If you bounce with him in Berlin, it pops the unit there and you can have
it back in the Fall as I will move east.>>
If I read this correctly you want me to move kie - ber and have ruh support
tyr to mun?
I am sure he would be able to retreat to boh and you will be stuck in mun.
It is very near the deadline and as far as I know/believe france should be
supporting kie - mun. I was hoping that ai could act together but that has
been a problem all along. Due no doubt to proper reasoning between the two
of you. Not only my own shortcoming have created the situation I am in but
also bad luck with developments around me.
It's a little late to talk to France. To tell you the truth I have no idea
what to do. I think Ben is attacking KIE at my request so KIE would be
useless for any support. This would only leave RUH tosupport you in. I think
Russia may just push WAR - PRU and have SIL support MUN just to be safe.
I believe it's curtains down for GIA. Looking at it rationaly I would prefer
someone to solo if I am not to be in any draw which is the case at this
moment in time unless something miraculous happens.
I could lie to you and say YES I will support you in, At least this way I am
sure MUN is cut at the least.
I truly do not know what to do. I even suggested that Russia push mun - bur
and sil - mun. I doubt he will but you never know. Something strange may
happen and MUN may be left empty (if I lie to you and say yes and you bounce
with sil).
We still have a few hours and it is two hours before I have to go to bed.
What is the situation with Austria?
I still think that kie - mun supported by ruh, tyr, bur is the best way to
go. Especially if Ben pushes for kie.
This gives us a shot at ber in the fall. If Austria could be convinced to
move to BOH then we are sure to destroy mun. Any Russian loss is a gain for
EFAGI.
I only think tyr - mun supported by ruh and kie - ber has little hope. Or
did you mean something else when you said that I should pop into ber?

Austria and I have been working together for a year. And his only request
is that I move from Tyrolia, which is why I am looking at Munich. He wants
me to go to Bohemia.
Which I really dont have a problem doing.

No...you had it right.
If I move to Boh, he retreats to Tyrolia....
Message from Germany to Italy
> If I move to Boh, he retreats to Tyrolia....>
Moving to boh would be pointless, that is why I was hoping Austria would
move there.
Strange Austria said that he hadnt spoken to you for some time and had no
idea what you were doing.
I think our only bet is to work together with efgai. It's a long shot buy I
do believe Ben will be attacking KIE and that France will be supporting
KIE - MUN. If we need to dent Russia a bit then I hope you see that although
we only tickle him we at least send a signle that we mean business. I will
be the first to exit no doubt about that.
I have spoken to the Turk and I think we both agree that he is safe from a
stab until ber/vie are captured.
If he is willing to go for BUD now in conjunction with Austira then great.
I think though that we will be seeing ser - gre, rum - ser supported by bud
and gre s ser - gre.If the Turk does turn this round then Austria is
doomned. But at least you and the Turk would be able to expand and stop the
russian onslaught.
If this is the case then surely kie - mun supported by tyr along with tus -
ven is the way to go.
We may even see ser - alb, rum - ser supported by bud, con - bul, bla - con,
eas - ion supported by aeg.

That would kind of conflict with another order that I've promised. If your
goal, apart from center aquisition, is to take down Russia a peg, don't
worry -- it's in the works.
Also, Jason may flip courses again. He's been vague, but with me
withdrawing from the Med, I don't think he sees a need to keep you healthy
any more. Just an FYI (since I'd prefer to see you deal with him than deal
with me).

You make several statements here that make no sense at all.

Assuming that the Turk doesnt support BUD. This is his only chance to take
it.

We didnt speak alot, but he told me what he wanted.

I have no problem with working together.

Well...he had that option last season and supported it.

I told him very plainly that if he attacked Greece with support, all bets
were off and I would help the Russian take his dots.
But at least you and the Turk would be able to expand and stop the
> russian onslaught.
If the Turk is attacking me, I am not going to get ANYTHING in the
balkans.

Well...TUS - VEN is going to totally freak out the Austrian, but I might
do this anyway.

We shall see, if he makes an agressive move in my direction I will watch
the French kill me from behind before he gets anything other than Greece.

So...you are supporting Kiel to Munich. If you are, I will order Tyrolia
to support it as well.

I know...he has been wayyyyyyy too quiet.

I just heard from the French. He is supporting you to Munich, I will too.

Bingo. I'd rather have a 2-center Tony than a 10-center Eric, and keeping
Tony around gives me a *little* leverage on Ben.

Message from Germany to Italy
Good to hear Andy. Sorry if I sounded garblish. It's late and I am dutch. At
least I was up front when I said I believe dfrance would be supporting me
and that I therefore found it a little late to change my moves.
Yes, france just sent me a press staing he would be supporting me. I lose
KIE and go to one sc but where there is life there is hope.
Message from Italy to Italy
Gentle Commentators....
The fact that the French have been LATE every turn this game is annoying
as hell to me....and probably several other people.
I think that players that are LATE every turn should go to a special kind
of hell....the one resevered for people who talk in theatres.
Actually...proper retribution would be for his wife/girlfriend/SO to be
late every month this way, so that he can go on that adrenaline ride on a
regular basis.
Eric Goodman mentioned that the pace of this game is probably drving me
out of my mind....that is an understatement. I am a FtF player, and those
of you that play FtF will understand this reference; I am the guy that
wants to wind down turns to 10 minutes in 04'
Hope you all had a great holiday
