With a fleet in Gre, it's really going to be easier to maneuver next year :-)

F Sev & A War are really your best build. Depending on how things
played out, it might even be possible to retain Trieste.

Thanks. Without knowing that England was ok with an alliance with
you, it was hard to suggest appropriate moves for the north of course.

Hi Jason,
If you ever come up with a plan that would really improve
my position, do let me know; but as long as I'm stuck
between I & R, I must tread very carefully.

Don't worry, I understand your need to be careful. I was a little
surprised that you gave him a center, although I suppose that was the
price for your survival. Even so, that support hurt a lot.
I hope you can help IT in the near future, so we can hold off Russia.

It was and I know it hurt. I would have hope to see you take
Greece to compensate the loss; but it was your call to make.

My problem is that while I'm being squeeze between I & R,
you always seem to put more faith in one or the other instead
of in me. I trust you from time to time, but I don't trust Andy,
so I suggest we forget about helping IT and talk helping you
where we can.

Sounds like we've got an StL going. Not a surprise. I guess we'll need to
see how the builds go before talking too much strategy, but I'll be
surprised if Turkey doesn't disband EMS. Still, the choice to disband Ser
makes me wonder about his thinking.
Talk to you soon,
