Russia: Fleet Denmark can retreat to Helgoland Bight
Message from Turkey to Austria
Nice shot there in Bud. I'm trying to get Italy to support you from Tri,
so everyone can win.

Well, all bad guesses on my part (I realized at about midnight last night
that he could do the three strength attack and the I hadn't cut any of the
supports, but didn't want to get up to change the orders).
IT cooperation would be ugly for us, since they have a ton of units on Rum
now. My gut says Ukr/Gal S Ser-Rum, Bud-Ser, and Vie S Tyl-Tri. Sev either
supports Ser-Rum or cuts support from Bla. If they order Bul S Tri-Ser we
lose Ser, but hold Tri (Tyl should bounce with ???-Tri). I'm not sure what
Arm should do. What's your thinking?
I've heard from Italy that he might turn to defend against France rather than
continuing to press against us. If that's so, then the above moves may not be
optimal. More details on that when I have it.

Phillipe:
Yikes, attacks from all sides. The southeast is a mess right now. If
it's any consolation, Andy must be thinking twice about his move on
Trieste now. He must certainly be suing for peace.
In any case, I seem to be in a good position to swing into the rest of
the Med now, and perhaps we can both benefit from that. If you can give
me some idea of what Italy, Russia and Turkey are saying to you, I will
try to keep them off of you the best I can. I've already suggested to
Eric that keeping you alive is to his advantage, despite your recapture
of Budapest.

Sorry for the delay, I think we are in trouble and would need
some time to see if there's an easy way out; but I'm pretty
sure we're losing territory this year, and alot of it.

I sure hope so.

Haven't heard from him, but even if he were to sue
for peace, I suspect he would want to stay in Tri.

Thanks, I appreciate all the help you can provide.
One thing though, I can't afford to be too liberal
with the info I'm provided with if I want to survive.

I would of course prefer to regain my homeland, but if
it's no possible, survival sure look good :-)

Well, that depends on how you look at it. Right now, I'm about the only
person on the board who a.) doesn't have a real interest in seeing you
die; b.) is in a position to help you out; and c.) isn't your neighbor. At
this point, I would say it's in your interest to cultivate my friendship,
and about the only thing you and your two beleagured armies can offer me
*is* information. If you can't provide that, then chatting will be lovely,
but don't expect much more.
For what it's worth, I think it's crazy that you and Turkey aren't burying
any outstanding hatchets and working together. You're both stuck between
the same rock and hard place and aren't long for this world.

Understood, but at the same time, you don't really have the
power to stop IR from squeezing me out of this game if they
so wishes, so I can't afford to look like a mole for the French
Empire. This being said, I will provide as much information
as I can.

You aren't the only one and if you got some special insight
into Jason, do let me know; but since I took a dive, it does
look like Jason is less interested in me compare to his other
neighbours, so it's probably not as bad as before.
