France: Army Burgundy -> Marseilles.

France: Fleet Tunis -> Ionian Sea. (*bounce*)
France: Fleet Western Mediterranean -> Tyrrhenian Sea.
France: Army Brest -> Gascony.
France: Fleet Gulf of Lyon -> Tuscany.
This is all fine with me. I think the timing was good enough - Andy will be yelling, but we should be fine. Still I wonder why you moved BUR - MAR, when you could have held in BUR and *built* in MAR. . .
You cleared BRE. I can't imagine why in a jillion years you would want to build a fleet there, but if you do, let me know in advance, so we can discuss it.

I imagine you will be building A PAR - it will get you into BUR, after all.

D'oh!
MUNich, not MARseilles. Ack.

Message from France to Russia
Eric:
I appreciate the support, but I am apparently king of the misorder these
days. Bur - Mar was supposed to be Bur - Mun.
In any case, I'd like to think you see this as a good opportunity to drop
the hammer on Andy and whittle us down to three. Any thoughts on builds?

Another stupid misorder. I've been averaging about five hours a night of
sleep for the past week, with about an hour and half between Sunday and
Monday. That was supposed to be Bur - Mun, not Bur - Mar. Note the Russian
support for the move that didn't happen. I even double-checked the orders
twice, and didn't see it. Mar became Mun in my sleep-deprived brain.
In any case, with your army in Kiel, we're in pretty good shape vis-a-vis
Munich.
I'll be building A Par, in all likelihood. I had hoped for F Mar, but I
think I'll be okay towing the Med line with what I've got.

So bizarre, and yet still the simplest explanation. Let us make the third
time the charm! And when we get to the stalemate line - please be more
careful. ;o)

Ya. Andy asked me to support him there, so I will.

Yes, I think so. The defensive line looking most likely for you is
MAR/LYO/WES/NAF/TUN, which will leave you with one more unit: A BUR. Check
out http://devel.diplom.org/Online/StalematesAtoY/western.htm, position 5.
If you lose ROM you will therefore likely be disbanding an army but we can
cross that bridge when we come to it.
I believe an A PAR is best for now, to force BUR in the spring, with GAS s
PAR - BUR. I do not think you need to be in MUN - it's no big deal either
way.
Ok, we are in lock step the rest of the way. As far as I'm concerned, we
are in the slow march to the 3WD now.
Thoughts?

I tried twice and still he rebukes me. *sniff*. No big deal, not like I had
a lot that I was waiting to do with those units.

I think I need another army to make a full northern line, so A War is
likely for me. For you I think you need to protect your flank. With my help
you can mop up Andy pretty quickly. While it's unlikely Ben will really
attack you, better safe than sorry. To me that means F Bre, but that's much
easier for me to say from here. It *is* the logic I'm using in choosing A
War (to try and get a completely defensible line).
Good job keeping Ben from coming to MAO though. I'm quite impressed. I was
pretty certain I had the situation pegged. Either I was way off base, or
you did a better job of negotiating than Andy.

Erik,
I forgot to ask about coordination. I assume you'll want support into Mun.
Do you want support into Nap, too?
