Message from Italy to Turkey
Howdy....
What do you want to do...
I think that I have a decent position on keeping the Austrian in check.

I am pleased to see things working out in the East, unfolding along the
lines you'd told me. I imagine you are to get SEV? It looks like Italy
will be in position against Austria pretty soon. . . The timing actually
makes a difference to me, so if you can, could you give me a sense of what
to expect?
Good work so far. Let's grow. ;-)

Hi Jason,
Things aren't going too bad for us. Of course, I would have
prefered not to get attacked by Austria and see Russia get
bounce in Sweden; but in all, we did ok.
Regards,
Philippe
Message from Turkey to Turkey
Hmm, Italy got Greece. Not part of the plan. Gotta build a fleet to keep
him from trying anything tricky.
jason
Message from Turkey to Italy
That went fairly well, although I would have preferred the army in Tun.
Agreed that Austria in pretty much bottled up right now. I need his help
to get Sev, but after that he's fair game.
BTW: I'm building a fleet. Since it's my first in the Med, I trust that
won't be a problem.

Message from Turkey to Austria
Yep, we did ok, aside from Italy in Greece. Now we need to get Russia
out of Sev.
jason
Message from Turkey to England
Yep, heading for Sev. It'll probably take 2 seasons, though. Italy's
gearing up for anti-Austria as you say. I've got to try to keep everyone
in balance for now.
Right now, I don't know exactly what to expect, but I want Sev before
Italy goes after Austria. Not sure if that will happen.

Nice one. Germany never saw that coming....

Well...I think he is coming for you now.

It shouldnt be, but if I were you I would get a feel for whether the
Austrian is coming for you.
He has already mentioned that he plans on taking BUL this year to the
German...

Yes, I see what you mean. A crippled Austria is not much good to you. . .

I think you thoughts are pointed in the right direction. Fortunately for
you Italy cannot build in VEN and France is in Tyrolia. Perhaps it will
help if you ask France to work against *Germany* & stay neutral between A
and I. Frankly I suspect it's what he's thinking anyway, but there's no
harm in asking.

Good to hear from you.
Have you heard anything about Austria's intentions? Italy claims he's
about to stab me, so I'm hoping for some confirmation either way.

Message from Turkey to Italy
You really think Austria is gunning for me? Interesting, I figured he'd
want a bigger piece of Russia first.

He hasnt even bounced in Galacia during 01'
Does that look like someone who is goign to attack Galacia anytime soon.
Message from Turkey to Italy
He and Russia negotiated the no-bounce in Gal, but I agree that
supporting Bud instead of Ser is curious.
jason
Message from Germany to all
Yup, that was the press I was on about.
Well you are at a little crossroad. As we are sure France will be an army then there is no pending threat for you. Usually when playing England its always difficult to get the right amount of armies into play. Usually you need fleets to keep pace with GER fleet build.
This is not the situation in this game. Not only would an army build make me feel more comfortable ;-) but a move nwy - bar, yor - nwyand depending what happens after that edi - nwy sets you up firm in northern russia. Usually to get 2 armies up there is quite a challenge.
But if I were England at this point I too would go for a fleet, probably in EDI but maybe for the show in London ;-)
I will be playing safe and I will be considering all neighbours as hostile in the spring.
Depending on that outcome then anything can happen.
First we have to awit the interesting builds (Italy, Russia, France).
As for me, two armies it has to be. I dont see the point at this stage for a fleet in BER to go after Sweden. If we so decide then either of us can pick it up in the spring or leave it till fall.
It will be interesting to see what the realionship is between AIF.
Speak to you after the builds

I've heard nothing. I would be surprised if he did, but he's surprised me
already this game. Does he really want to have irritated all three of his
closest neighbors?
I'll fish around & get back to you.

What is the second biggest lie in Diplomacy.
*I wont go to Galacia*.
For 2 Turns. Noone has entered Galacia.
The Austrian is getting you sidetracked and involved with Russia, while he
sets you up for the fall in the fall.
He has demanded that I vacate Greece immediately. I told him I would see
what I could do.
The DMZs he is demanding from me would have me vacating Venice and almost
vacating Rome
He wants space to work on you, that is the only thing it can be.
Message from Russia to Turkey
Jason,
I'm disappointed to have not heard from you after my last message.
I'm hoping Andy's move to Gre makes you think about taking on Austria.
Obviously, I cannot hope to hold out against a combined AT. If you are
willing to take Sev with your fleet, then I would be willing to use my
remaining units to help you attack Austria (initially by pressuring Ukr, if
I get there, cutting support in Gal, etc.) That means that I would not be
trying to retake Sev.
