Position in spring, centers in fall. On of the main
things to remember when playing Diplomacy. This is
means that if I guess correctly that Turkey is
supporting himself in Bulgaria it's an excellent
oppurtunity to enter Aegan Sea and have Bulgaria
guaranteed in the north with Ser and Tri following up.
The two northern armies will just try to take Rumania.
He will probably support it but I can at least try and
moving Bud-Rum means he can't support himself into
Galicia. It's not very important to gain against
Russia right now. If England and Germany just keep
playing together he will soon have to start disband
units which means I can take Rum, Sev and War.
Message from England to Master
Interesting Russian builds. Austria is looking pretty strong. I may be able
to patch things up with France.
At this stage I forsee an EFA endgame. I wont weaken RUssia. I will
concentrate on Germany.
My aim this move is to capture SWE / DEN or both.
Message from France to Master
Italy - please go east!
The russian build is great. Hopefully it means that den,kie,ber are all
occupied to the east for at least this turn (so he will not order kie-ruh).
I'm taking back MAO which is crucial. If germany takes bel (with bur-bel
supported by hol), then I should be able to retreat to ruh, and I will have 3
units against bel in the fall - and an army adjacent to an empty Mun.
Anything could happen this turn.
E/G might continue to attack me - or maybe if I'm lucky Germany will order
bur-mun in a show of peace, and England, realising that he is alone against me,
will move on Russia.
Message from Germany to Master
Well builds are through. Pretty expected all around. Though what Turkey
thinks he's doing with all armies is beyond me. Italy! Set sail!
Austria is now sitting pretty against Russia. Gre hits Bul and the other
three gang on Rumania...or he slips into Ukraine. Tri COULD move up into
Vie..but that might give Italy ideas.....
Meanwhile russia builds entirely at me. Leaving Stp completely open for
England. I'm backing out of France...hope he sees that as a gesture of
friendship after all.
The moves this turn:
Den s Ber->Bal
Kie s Bur->Mun
Bur->Mun
Ber->Bal
Hol sits pretty.
Hopefully this isn't some sort of Western double EF setup here. That would
truly suck.
Anyway.....wish me luck!
Message from Italy to Master
Looks like I'm stuck with Lepanto. The French build of A MAR with F BRE
indicates he is not coming my way right now, otherwise F MAR would have been
more likely. I do not want to move to PIE and force him my way, not if I am
going East.
I understand A TRI by the Austrian , he must be worried about my A VEN not
moving. Should have gone to ROM or APU last fall. I'll stay in place and
support A TRI. A move to Tyrolia is tempting, but sends mixed signals and I
do not want to help the Russian by forcing the Kaiser to cover MUN.
Looks like B and F at war, Russia for some reason is picking a fight with
Germany. This leaves me and Austria to finish the Turk. The Turk has few
options but to try to hold us off right now. At least let's hope so. ;)
Message from Russia to Master
I decided to continue to move against Germany. I'm counting
on Turkey as an ally, and for Germany, England and France to go
after each other. Italy and Austria seem to be well aligned, so
no obvious weakness there. I'm afraid that I've gotten us into
a bit of a pickle, but think it's to late to back off. Will continue
with this tack. Hopefully it does not affect Turkey too poorly.
Message from Turkey to Master
Very good to see England sailing into the Mid-Atlantic. Not sure what he's
going to do with it of course - I imagine he might get dislodged, which could
send him into the Med - that'd be ideal for me.
I'm just going to follow the script for a while, and hope that I can persuade
AIR to let up a little.
