Message from England to Master
Wow, what a difference a year makes. I can't help feeling that France went
wrong last year, but I never really had a chance to study the moves (and I
am still very busy). My guess would be that he went astray chasing after
Berlin instead of pushing for the collapse of Italy. Now if the allies can
coordinate and push him out of Silesia, it looks like he will have serious
problems getting any further. He would like for the fleet in Prussia to be
an army, but I don't see a way to make it happen. And StP is perfectly
safe for the foreseeable future as France has no obvious way into the
Baltic. With a pair of rogue fleets behind his lines, it is hard to see
how he will be able to organize a northern offensive.
The current course of the game is that the line is solidified and I am
eliminated leaving a four-way. France is really the only one who can
change that by backing off and letting RIT fight amongst themselves, but
they may not be inclined to do that even if he does back off. In any case,
he may as well push for now and see what happens. In particular, RT need
to coordinate successfully in sil or things are not nearly so simple.
I'm going to try for the Channel and see if I can distract France a little.
Message from France to Master
Well... I've probably stared at the map of this game for several hours.
But... the deadline is coming up and so in an effort to not be late, I
guess I'll put some orders in.
Some goals I tried to accomplish:
1. Ensure F Pru or A Sil don't get destroyed. I probably can't keep both
of them but we'll see. I was wrong on that count last fall.
2. Try to get 3 fleets on Bal for the fall. But it probably won't happen.
Couldn't figure out a good way to do it.
Another thing I need to think about is what I want to do if I can't get
the solo on my first push. I can't let it completely affect my thinking,
but it's got to be in the back of my mind. I think my best move might be
to get Russia to be nice and big, to make Turkey stab him in the south or
risk being overrun by him.
So... I'm going to convoy Nwy-Yor. This should net me a center in
England, though I'll lose Norway I'm sure. The point is though that I
need to get some builds to make any type of offensive in the north.
I'm also going to send F Lyo-Spa(sc), in case it needs to move to Mao in
the fall. This worries me, as I don't particularly like getting rid of
it in the south. But hey, what can you do.
Message from Italy to Master
good for R, he's putting an interesting fight in the
north. Swe might provide some hope for a draw. i'm
not sure, but if F Pru is destroyed, then F cannot
take
Swe! otherwise it would be a 50/50 chance (but that
is assuming StP safe, which isn't...)
anyway, i have little help to provide here. Ber is
lost for ever, Mun cannot be taken, or Tur or Mar...
i could try to dislodge A Pie, but i do not see any
benefit from it.
i just noticed that E is still with us! maybe if F
Lon & F Edi could make it to Spa-Por...
Message from Russia to Master
1911 will be an interesting year.
If France allow Lon-Eng to work, we will have an english
raider behind his line. Even better, if Nth isn't even going
to Lon, England get to build! Because it's doubtfull France
will allow any of this, I see no problem with going to Cly
and risk losing Edi.
On my side, the most important unit is the fleet in Bal. As
long as I occupy that space, I get to control much of what
is going on in the north. I would have like to eliminate the
fleet in Pru this spring, but with a french army in Sil, it's not
a sure thing anymore and I even risk losing Bal.
Instead, I will protect Bal by attacking both Den & Pru
from Swe & War. This allow me to use Bal to cut any
support Ber might offer (I could attack Kie instead, but
there's a chance that it will succeed). Also, I will order
Stp-Nwy to prevent Den from gaining Swe and trade
Swe for Nwy by retreating to Fin if he goes for Nwy-Swe.
Mos is going to Lvn supported by Bot. This fall, it's
probably going to be use to eliminate the french fleet, but it
will depend on what is happening as I don't want to simply
allow France to relocate an unit to deal with possible raiders.
Message from Turkey to Master
Well by the look of things we have stopped France in his tracks. I am not
sure where he went wrong but I am sure he could have soloed when I first
mentioned it. England should move on to ENG, EDI should hit north sea and
then grab Norway. I cant do much I just want to make sure they dont decide
to go for a 3 way without me.
