Message from Italy to Germany and Russia
Gentlemen. As you can see, I have opted to remove myself from the
northern front. I wish you well against the French.
I expect that you will just take Berlin anyways, but I think that you both
have a vested interest in not seeing France and/or Turkey run away with
this game. Leaving Berlin in my hand (at least another year so I can pick
up a center to replace it) I think directly correlates to that.
But I leave it in your hands...

I think we'd be better off trying for Hol and Bel, myself.

Message from Germany to Austria, Italy, and Russia
I concur. Moving to Berlin now means backtracking from France and possibly
creating a hole in the line. If I can just hold what I've got now, I'll end up
with a build anyway.
So, how do we take Bel / Hol?

Kaiser Erik,
How about Nwy-Nth, Nth-Hol, Kiel S Nth-Hol, Lon-ECh, Ruh-Bel?

Message from Turkey to Germany and Russia
Germany...how about a response to my last email? You make it
difficult to communicate with you by never responding. I'm not
looking for tons of press or anything..just short communication. It
could go a long way toward figuring out what the hell France is up
to.
I don't want to have to write an EOG after France soloes, talking
about how difficult it was to cordinate a defense against France
given the secretive German

Message from France to Germany
Erik,
Can I safely assume that I will not get any more message
from you this turn? (Or this game for that matter?)
Best,

Message from Germany to France
Tamas:
My apologies. Real life has been hell for the past week. I've had absolutely no
time for this game. I have asked the GM for an extension to get my act
together, as I should have a slightly less hectic schedule tomorrow and over
the weekend. Please forgive my silence.
I will try and squeeze a reply in later today just in case the extension
doesn't happen.
Erik
Message from France to Germany
Dear Erik,
No problem, I understand too well what it is like when you
do not have time to even open up the map on the screen.
I will say a few things shortly so that you have something
to work with to submit orders before the deadline.
England has left, you can continue hammering me but it does
not lead us very far. It is your responsability to secure
your place in the draw and I doubt that you disagree: your
only choice is replacing Russia and securing the northern
edge for yourself because two edges are already taken and
the south is no good for you.
I do have things to do. The south is open and I have to go
there to make sure that Turkey does not get past the
stalemate line even if he picks up all the Balkans, which he
will do in few seasons. If you go after Russia and
reestablish our peace then I readily forget what happened
the last two seasons. Deal?
I will try to defend Holland in the spring based on the bad
experience recently. But if I see something like Kie-Bal,
Ruh-Kie or similar then I will give Hol back to you in the
fall. If any of your units move in a western direction,
then I cannot do this.
Tamas
Message from Germany to Russia
Got your suggested moves. They look okay, but I need to make sure I've got a
home center clear in the fall for a build.
Do you think A Mun is at risk from a combined French-Austrian attack? Have you
spoken at all with Austria since the big falling out?
Kaiser Erik
Message from Germany to Russia and Turkey
Which message? You'll have to excuse me -- I have been neck-deep in work for
the past week, and haven't had more than a few moments every day to even look
at my e-mail, much less pay attention to this game. I've asked for an
extension, though as it's last minute, I'm not sure I'll get it.
Anyway, I apologize for my silence. Please do me the courtesy of re-sending
whatever thoughts you sent to me in your last message, and I'll try to
formulate a response within the next few hours, just in case the extension
doesn't happen.

I'll admit to not sending that much press but now we have more to
talk about. However, since we have waited so long, diplomacy might be
difficult.

I think you have your priorities right....hold off France while
trying to convince Russia not to eat you up.
I need a strong ally in one of you such that France doesn't solo. If
Russia decides to attack me, would you be willing to squash him?
While you may give up a little to France, Russia could be eliminated
and you could control the Scand and ST. Pete centers which would
ensure you are around for part of a draw.
Also, if you want, I can try to get italy to remove his lone unit up there.

There are a couple of possibilities, Hol-Bel, Kie-Hol is what I'm hoping
for, but
Nth S Kie-Den is also possible.

That would surprise me a great deal. I don't think Austria has any motive
to
support France to Munich, and Austria would have to expect you to try to
throw the game to France if he moved to Munich. We've talked a bit. My
PC is in desperate need of an overhaul, so I haven't sent much to anyone
because it's so hard to keep the machine running long enough for me to
think about a reply.
Nicky.
