Russia: Builds 1 unit
Message from France to Master
Again, to be fair, I must point out my definite ineptitude in the guessing
of the moves this past fall moves. To recap:
1) I thought for sure either A Boh or F Pru would be dislodged. In fact,
neither were, and Russia didn't even try to nail F Pru.
2) I thought for sure that I'd see A Stp S F Nth-Nwy. In fact, neither
England nor Russia ordered that.
Italy did show solid tactical knowledge with these past moves. I'm not
sure if I disparaged him in earlier emails, but if so, I take it back :-).
It seems that he is one that is not willing to take a risk that could
destroy the stalemate line, but if there is no risk, then he will advance
the best he can. I will have to try and remember that.
Too bad the build report just came in - I can't get any credit for
correctly picking a build of A Mos :-)
It's interesting - everything I have ever learned about diplomacy, at
least tactially, says that if you're going for 18, you should go for the
stalemate lines first and then kind of fill in the rest later. That is
what I have been doing and it is working well. I secured Tunis for my one
center over the line, and now Berlin. I should be able to solo
guaranteed. But the mopup is proving to be a bit difficult. We'll have
to see how things finish up.
I'm bummed that I'm not getting any builds. I expected at least one. Now
I'll have some scrambling to do to stop F Lon from making a back rank run
to Bre/Mao/Iberia
