Message from Austria to Master
I may be paranoid, but I am fearing an Italian stab now. I think Italy may
try Tyr-Tri and Apu-Ion-Alb. I am making Vie-Tri to guard myself against
this. I don't think Italy will try Tyr-Vie, since he can't possibly expect
that move to succeed.
Other than that, I am attacking Ukr to set up an attack on Sev or War for
next year. If Italy does *not* stab me, he might be worried about me not
trusting him. Therefore, I am going to support Aeg-Ion and Ion-Con, since I
have nothing better to do with my fleet in Gre and my army in Bul anyway.
Message from England to Master
Not much to say. I will take France up on his offer of friendship.
EFA are now a reasonable size. I have opted to ally with France and try and send him after Italy.
Hopefully he indicates support of DEN - KIE. For now I will be shifting forces north and holding on in Denamrk.

Tricky. I'd like to make a further peace ovation to England, but if he
shuffles his fleets into NAT/IRI/ENG, then I won't be able to hold MAO next turn.
I will have to try to keep him out of NAT. Of course, it means that we might
end up in a right old muddle, with me in NAT, and England in MAO this turn.
I hope that our fleets end up holding, that I can build a fleet in Mar, and
then perhaps I can be more positive about peace with England.
Russia is in trouble, and that means there is not likely to be any pressure
on Nwy. I just hope Germany attacks Den, to tie up a couple of English units.
Message from Germany to Master
Didn't really have one. This game has really annoyed me, due to stupid and
pointless play.
Guess that'll be part of the comment :)
Since I don't remember what I was even doing at the time...hard to comment.
But here goes:
Spring 1903:
Well, Russia does seem insistant on being a total dork, at the cost of us
both.
Well so be it.
England of course took Denmark. And is now set to wipe the floor with me
AND Russia. Odd that he didn't build the army to convoy. STP is wide
open!!!!!
France will most likely take the open Holland this turn. All I can do is
try to grab Ber.
Triple supports for Mun->Ber...see how she flies.
Pray for me.
Fall 1903:
Well hot dang it worked. Ber is secured. But alas I lost
Holland...surprise surprise.
England has moved on France. This could be good for me. Austria is head on
into Russia, and Italy.....well he's being a nuisance there in Tyrolia.
Kind forces my hand. Russia, if he's smart, will be expecting Kie and Ber
to bounce over Mun and will do the unwated support thing. Thus, we bounce
over Kie instead. Bal and Ber bounce over Kie, while Kie moves to Mun.
Just think...if France hadn't squashed Holland, I could actually like...help
him or something by building in Kie and cracking him next turn. Instead
he'll get a nice uesless build in Par....
So he's my comment on a per power basis:
Austria: Looking good there mate. Turkey's pretty neutralized at the
moment, and Italy is in an aborted Lepanto. Watch out for Tri or Vie!!!
Italy has got to be getting desperate. But if you cover either, you can't
protect Gal. But then again...what's more important..Gal? Or an SC?
England: Well you have the advantage over France. He gets a build, but
what is he going to do with it? Support yourself to the MAO, and support
yourself Wal->Iri. Swe s Den of course. Worse that happens is it all
bounces...but that makes sure that France doesn't leave Bre.
France: Help me out and I help you out. Get out of Holland. Let me build.
Play with some wisdom here, not just dot grabbing greed! Even though this
IS feeding frenzy nopress.
Italy: Head at Vie. Convoy to Alb. Eas->Aeg. You know, the hated reverse
Lepanto. Otherwise Turkey will stymie you forever. If you think Austria
will barricade Galacia, then by all means move to Tri instead. Better
position.
Russia: Hello my friend. Tried to help you out by handing you Sweden. You
turned it down and now look..English domination. And you will be losing a
unit this turn. Amazing isn't it? You backed out too late. Head to Bothnia
and we might start talking something here.
Turkey: Hold out. Russia's no threat, Italy's no threat, Austria can't
threaten. You are as good as gold.
Message from Italy to Master
Firstly, apologies for being late. Again, not much in the way of options.
I really do dislike the Lepanto, just didn't see any other options. Now I
am also worried about Austria's growth and my lack of such.
Looks like Germany is gone. With England and France going at each other,
Russia looks like England's ally. With STP ungarrisioned and England heading
south, Russia is in good shape and has no reason to weaken Turkey. I will
be surprised if progress is made in Turkey. If I head West, I have to take
too much time to do it and then Austria will probably just carve me up
anyway.
Italy is a fence-sitter and I will await my opportunities. Hopefully then
come along, I actually prefer making my own opportunities.
a tyrolia - pie (to discourage any French adventures into Northern Italy)
a apu hold (keeps the Austrian happy, but I can still cover VEN in the
spring)
f eas - smy (a wild hope)
f ion s f gre - aeg (please, need the Austrian fleet at sea for any chance
to crack Turkey)
Message from Russia to Master
It' s likely only a matter of time now. Turkey and
I can not keep austria and italy off of us for long.
England has remained non-hostile, but there is nowhere
else where gains can be made. Regardless, I refuse to
be a sitting duck and instead will move offensively toward
both austria and germany. If I go down, it will be fighting.
Who knows, if france would move against italy it would
be great but with england's offensive he really can't. ironic
that england is both helping and hurting me at the same time.
Message from Turkey to Master
Well Italy's still getting frustrated by me, which is nice. I thought this time
he would've moved into the Aegean, and written off the idea of getting an army
across. But anyway...
I'll take a chance and support Austria against Russia. If I'm going to lose
without an ally, I might as well try to endear myself to someone with some
power - he might just decide to keep me around for a while. So 'arm s rum-sev'
it is.
But what to do with Smyrna and Syria... Syria can just sit, while Smyrna moves
out to the Aegean, covered by Constantinople. Actually, nah... Italy could
stuff that up by moving his fleet into the Aegean with support. But I can't
really cover that anyway... so I guess it would be good for me to make sure
that Austria understands that I want to be his Janissary... so I will push out
to Aegean, and move Con-Smy. Con-Ank would be good for making sure that Austria
doesn't bounce in Constantinople, but I really don't want Italy to get Smyrna.
So Con-Smy it is.
