Message from Italy to England and France
Jesus Erik..if you had told me you were pulling back I probably wouldnt
have attacked you at all.
But I will take some of the blame for this one, I was just being aggresive
and maybe I should have made it clearer that if you did back off me I
would not be attacking you.
I think you both should send Eric a note telling him that you are both
setting draw.

Andy -
Erik & I had discussed the plan privately beforehand. It was a conservaive play, that's all. We were not trying to shut you out and I don't think Erik will miss the unit - all in all I think it is time to set draw.
Eric won't be pushed into setting draw soon, but I will write him again letting him know I'm doing it & I imagine Erik will do the same.

Hmmm. I guess Erik was going for maximum defense. What's your thinking now?
You want to try to get them to keep you in a four way or continue to push
for the solo?

Andy,
Well, looking at it, I don't know that I need to know what you are trying for
(solo vs. 4-way) in advance of the moves.
I will move:
Ion-Nap, Apu supporting
Ven-Pie
Pru S Ber
Support to hold in Mun
If you want to help me solo, order:
Tus S Ven-Pie
Rom S Ion-Nap
Ber S Mun
In the fall, I can them order Nap S Apu-Rom, Ven S Apu-Rom while you order
Tus S Apu-Rom, Rom-Tys and Ber-Kie, and that should be sufficient to ensure
the solo, failing a good guessing by EF on how to defend Ber.
Any other moves would mean that you are not looking to support the solo. As
I've said many times, I don't have any problem with you not supporting me to
solo and trying to make the draw. But if you go that way, I'll move for the
three way EFR draw.
As I see it, there is really no danger to telegraphing my moves to you at
this point. If you cooperate the solo is likely but not assured. If you don't
then the solo is basically impossible.
Let me know if you see things differently.

The English have assured me that I will always have support in Berlin.
I am taking the 4 way and I have set draw.

We shall see.
My build orders are in. I'm not setting draw.
I don't blame you for taking the risk that he's telling the truth. He
*should* eliminate you as soon as I back off. But everyone does not play the
game the same way.
Later,

Hey, I finally saw the results. Despite the quick Russian exit, you still
ended up ahead of me in the rankings. Now I've got something like 3 NADF
master points! Just 50 more tourneys to respectability. Woohoo!
