Russia: Fleet Denmark can retreat to Helgoland Bight
Message from Italy to England and France
Ok Erik....just remember...you reap what you sew.
I told you what the consequenses of moving on me were and you chose to
ignore them.
If you think I am not capable of getting the russian to a solo before you
get me killed.......you are very short-sighted.
Attacking the guy that is holding the stalemate line is the single dumbest
fucking thing you can do in this game.
But I told you ...spelled it out to you even....your loss...this game
should be over REALLY soon.
Message from France to England
No, I'm not terribly worried about Andy throwing to the Russian. If I
were, I wouldn't have moved on him so aggressively. Yes, Tunis is a key,
but in reality, so are most of the other Italian centers and a couple of
Scandanavian Russian centers, too.
I am kind of kicking myself for not trying for Munich, but it seemed
unlikely, and I suppose I wouldn't have been able to hold it, anyway.

Andy:
Well, at least I figured out what to do with those fleets.
No hard feelings. Maybe I'm bad at math, but I don't see things the way
you seem to. I'm sure I'll regret it later.

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.

Message from France to Russia
Eric:
Interesting turn. Andy's screaming bloody murder at me and claiming that
I've guaranteed your victory, but with all due respect, you're not doing
*that* well. Seems like all your neighbors must be after you by this
point.
If, however, you could see fit to negotiate a peace with Austria or
Turkey so that they could make some brief gains from Andy, I will be in
a much better position to come back and put some heat on Ben. The faster
I can secure a good Mediterranean position, the faster I can swing back
up north. Perhaps we could keep Austria around a bit longer?

Jason:
I'm really not sure what to say to you, since we've never really been on
the same page, but as long I'm in the Mediterranean, I thought I'd try
to stay a little more chatty and drop you a line. I suppose you could
say it's a bad thing for you that I'm steaming toward Tunis, but you
could also look at it as a chance to remove the Italian from your back
once and for all. He's really not much help to you against Russia,
anyway, so wouldn't you rather remove the threat? I'm certainly not
venturing much farther than Naples, if I get the chance -- overextension
is never a good thing.
Erik
Message from Russia to France
I have bent over backwards to allow Austria to keep his center count even.
I have offered peace to Turkey, but so far he hasn't taken me up on it. So
in general, I'm in agreement with you.

Message from Turkey to France
Hey Erik, good to hear from you.
As you say, we haven't talked much, but it's certainly time we did more.
Right now Italy is certainly helping me against the Russian, especially
helping me hold down Austria. Past that, though, his fleets aren't much
use. I understand you need to expand into the Med, but I also hope that
Mun is on your list - all help against the Russian is appreciated.
Thanks for touching base. Obviously, I won't be moving west anytime
soon, but I do we can keep in touch.

I guess you are....there are 9 centers on the east side of the board that
the Russian doesnt own, and that doesnt include my home centers...

Well, the Scandinavian centers will not be a problem for much longer. . .

Oh, well. I imagine it will be covered in the fall, though you may get
lucky, if you want to try.

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.

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.

Hold down Austria? Why would you want to hold down Austria? While I'm not
privy to all the political intrique of the Southeast, I must confess that
I can't imagine that you would be doing anything except burying any
outstanding grudges and making good with Austria quick, fast and in a
hurry. He's the only other player on the board in the same position that
you are, and Lord knows, he needs a friend.

Yes, I'm kicking myself for not going for it last turn. It just seemed
unattainable, which Eric clearly recognized and used to his advantage.
I'll can take a shot at it, but who knows?

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.
