England: Builds 1 unit
Turkey: Removes 1 unit
Message from France to England
Good luck anyway? What's that supposed to mean?
Listen, I'm just going to keep fighting Italy. If you attack me, so be it
-- I'll just make sure that Russia can take the entire Med when Italy and
Turkey are done, and I'll be sure to support him into Berlin or Kiel, as
necessary and where possible. I know you're smart enough to realize how
precarious our defense against his solo is, so I'm not even going to
bother defending my centers.
Still, let me just make it clear: you attack me at this juncture, and I
work for a Russian solo, end of story. My pieces are at his disposal, and
no further negotiation will be possible between you and I. All further
messages with "Press from E to F" in the subject will go straight to the
trash", and when the game is over, you can explain to me and the other
commentators how the risk of a Russian solo was worth Brest and / or
Holland.
The choice is yours. Belgium and Brest will be undefended, because if I
choose to defend them and pull units away from Andy (who, I should remind
you, is Eric's dedicated Jannisary now), the game is over for me anyway.
Touch my centers, and I'll do what I can to guarantee a Russian victory.

Message from France to Russia
Eric:
It's unfortunate that you were unable to provide me with a build by
withholding support of Venice, as it forced me to move to Ruhr in an
attempt to appease Ben -- now, you've lost your counterbalance to English
power, and it's probable that Andy will begin to recover without any
credible Western threat.
If you have any thoughts on what I can do at this point, I'm open to them,
but I don't see how I can prevent the loss of Brest and/or Belgium.

*sigh*
I am a peacetime conciglierge in a time of war. One day I will figure out
how to write that kind of press.
I will hold my tongue for now - I don't want to dig this hole deeper.

I was still at work - finishing up. 9 - 9. Working again tonight. The
"Huh" was as in, "Huh, what's going on?"
> get some rest....talk to you later today.
Sorry to wait until it's so late. It's not just the job - I was still
recovering from computer problems at home today. Hopefully that's finally
resolved.
Erik tells me he's going to keep coming after you to usher in a Russian
solo.
Ben
Message from England to all
Sorry for my slow response the last couple of days.
My computer problems have finally abated & I should have better access
starting tomorrow.

Andy,
Yeah, but Tyr-Pie would have been a better choice. Not that I'm
complaining, mind you.

Just kill him quickly and effectively and I wont have to worry about him.
I think I have the Russian supporting me into dots this year. This is a
bit of a leap, but I think I can manage it.
talk to you soon

Eric,
But it didnt guarantee Erik wouldnt build.
Which was my prefernce. Since I had a strong suspicion that England was
going to start dismantling him.
Erik has threatened to suicide agaisnt me a couple of times this game,
lets build a game-plan that prevents that for a year, while getting you
Turkish dots and see what he removes......we actually should be able to
tell if he is going to do it by spring....
His moves should include pulling both armie off me if he is going to
defend himself.
talk to you soon

He told me I'd get BEL and BRE and that would be it. I'm not sure he's comprehending the position he's in. . .

*That* would be a diplomatic coup - good job, if you can do it.
