Message from Germany to Master
A look at the other side of the map tells me that there isn't any
urge to behave quickly: there aren't still any clear winners from the clash
in the South-Eastern side of Europe.
Unfortunately England still points against the now Russian Norway; not a good
sign, since I want it for me.
Should I go somewhere else? Towards Warsaw, for example? But that would
open a front where I would have problems sending troops.
I could support again England to NWY, hoping that England would become
friendly enough to move then against France.
At last I decide for moving 3 units in order to take Norway.
Message from Turkey to Master
Mission accomplished :-) Same position as in the spring up to
the Russian army in Gal (Austria and Russia ordered exactly as
I expected).
Note: There were really many bounces during the spring - only
six units moved.
I now depend on Russia: if he cuts the support A Bud S A Ser
with A Gal-Bud I get Ser. If he does it the Juggernaut will roll
and I will support him into Bud in the next year in return for it.
If he doesn't I will have to reconsider the RT alliance.
My orders:
A Gre-Ser: I attack Ser from Gre because Italy may order
F ION-Gre and cut A Gre S A Bul-Ser.
A Bul S A Gre-Ser
F AEG-Gre: to cover Gre
F Smy-AEG: to bounce Italy (I prefer Italy in EAS than in
AEG).
A Syr H: I want to be able to build in Smy if Italy moves
to EAS and I don't want to antagonize Russia with
A Syr-Arm. And to be honest I don't want to bring Syr
to the front too soon because I think it's a good defense
against Russia.
To the rest of the board:
- If I don't get Ser there is no chance for Russia to make
progress against Austria and Gal is pretty safe this turn. I
hope he sees it the same way and attacks Bud.
- What did A Mun S A Boh-Tyr mean? Germany should be interested
in a weak Russia and so be happy if Italy helps Austria. He
cannot hope that Italy will turn west and help him against France.
- Why did Italy move A Apu-Ven? Simply protect Ven or prepare a
stab against Austria?
- Why did Italy support A Vie-Gal instead of moving A Boh-Gal?
Together with A Apu-Ven I think he hoped that Vie and/or Tri
would be empty this fall and he could stab Austria. Good for me
as long as Italy doesn't really stab Austria. Because then he
would get a third fleet (I already wrote about this problem).
- Looks like Germany still wants Bel. I hope he continues the attacks
as it will slow down France.
- Germany may convoy Den to Lvn but then Den would be uncovered.
On the other side: Together with F Swe S F NWG-Nor it would be
fatal for Russia and Germany would be the senior partner in the
EG alliance. I think I would do it. As Russia I would order
A War-Lvn.
- France has no chance to make progress against Germany. So he will
probably stab England in the next year if England doesn't get
another unit this year.
- It's an interesting game. I'm curious to know who the players are.
