Message from Austria to Master
I am very pleased with Germany disbanding his units in Hol+Hel. That means
Russia will have three units tied up just to hold on to Berlin. I am also
pleased with England building only fleets (very anti-French!). A dream
scenario would be for EF to get locked up in a war where no one gets
anywhere.
Italy's move to Pie last fall was a good sign, but I still fear an attack on
Tri this year. He can put three units on Tri by moving Ion-Adr, Apu-Ven,
Pie-Tyr, and I cannot make any defensive moves since they would appear
anti-Italian. My main goal is to keep Italy happy. Hopefully he aims at the
Turkish centers, and not at mine. I just have to hope for the best.
It would be a disaster for Russia to allow me to walk into War now, and I
think he will use his army in Ukr to cover it. Therefore, I am making
Gal-Ukr which I hope will succeed, giving me a shot at Sev or Mos for the
fall. At the same time, I am attacking Bul which will succeed if either
Russia does not attack Rum, or if Turkey does not support Bul. We'll see. If
everything bounce and Italy tries to stab me, I have three units to cover
Tri with. There are many possibilities, and I'll be OK whatever happens this
turn.
Message from England to Master
Not the ideal situation. Italy moving to PIE may cause France some
headaches.
Keeping BAL was a good decision by Germany. STP is at risk.
I wil just have to consolidate this spring and probably fall.
Message from France to Master
I got what I deserved with the English builds. Is there any way to make peace
with him or is it too late? The German disband at least gives me Holland to
compensate.
Germany -will you convoy to Lva?? With that you can mess up the Russian big
time.
eng c swe-swi (try for peace)
mao-iri (if I get the expected iri-eng, then at least try to keep IRI empty
in the fall)
ruh-hol (might get in without support if England is using 3 fleets agauinst
ENG - which he probably must do to avoid convoys by me)
bel-bur (keep the German army from retreating there)
pic-bur (ditto)
gas-mar (I suspect Italy will order pie-ven/tyl, but can't take the chance)
Message from Italy to Master
The waiting continues. No real offensive options for Italy this turn. I
will try to convoy to SYR, but since the Turk will lose BUL no matter what,
I doubt it succeeds. He can defend his centres right now. I had
entertained thoughts of moving West, but given the ER success, it behooves
me to have France strong to defend against E.
Looks like ER has a real head of steam build up. Italy has always been
tough for me, too much waiting and then trying to figure where to be to take
advantage of things in early mid-game.
Okay,
A PIE - TYR, should put France at ease. Also, may allow me to help the
German, slowing Russia. Since A APU convoys, Austria should not mind.
Otherwise a rather insipid move, chosen from a host of insipid options.
Message from Turkey to Master
Well, we have a new Austria since I last wrote. But I doubt he's actually going
to help at all. I'm going to try to make peace with him by moving back to
Armenia, and not defending Bulgaria. I'm sure Bulgaria will fall, but I'm just
running out of options here. I really don't like playing Turkey in nopress
against an AI alliance.
It's a real shame that France is so far away, and not looking like coming
around this way. I'm sure I'll be the first to be eliminated, although I guess
Germany might beat me to it. Hopefully when Germany dies, Austria will pick up
some of the attention from the other players.
