Message from Master to all
As I mentioned before, there's a player who's asked for an extension
for August 14-20. Right now, the deadline is set for the evening
of the 14th; we'll extend the deadline following that if it involves
the missing player. If not, we'll retreat, build, and extend the
deadline for S1904M.
Please submit orders for F1903M on time. Thanks,
Doug

Well I suppose that I could support you to hold in VIE. But the only
threat to that is if I and R gang up on you. Which I consider to be
unlikely.
You can walk into SEV, if Turkey doesn't bounce you. I guess that's why
WAR isn't a tempting target. I could be talked into supporting you in
there, but you'd have to realize that I'm going to attack it soon. So
(hopefully) your stay would be brief.
Just doesn't look like there's a lot we can do together this turn.
Maybe next turn.

Ser and Tri probably won't be moving, and neither you nor I can cut
their double support for Gal-Bud. But with your help, I do have a
chance of bouncing Gal-Bud, if both Vie and Boh support Bud-Gal.
Earlier, though, you said you wouldn't be able to help me defend my
homeland. Have you changed your mind?

Message from France to Austria
Ms. Felicia:
I am sorry about the betrayal you received by the
Italian. I too know about being betrayed. I lobbied
hard for the AIR alliance, but finally resigned myself
that it would not happen. It would have been much better
for me, not to mention yourself. Resolving the south may
help me, but I really do not think it will be enough.
You at least have options for changing the alliance
structure around you. England and Germany have no
opportunities to stab one another. It is just a matter
of time before I crumble.
Best of luck to you.

Message from Germany to Austria
I have already entered orders of BOH - GAL. I'll change them to BOH s
BUD - GAL.
This doesn't contradict what I said earlier. With this move I'm not
messing with Turkey or Italy. Just Russia, who I've declared war on.
I assume that you're going after either MOS or SEV with your unit in
UKR. I've ordered PRU-WAR. I'm hoping that WAR goes to MOS.
Sorry I can't talk more. Got to get out of here. I won't get any more
mail until the end of the day.
My units that concern you have the following orders
PRU-WAR
BOH s a bud - GAL

Message from Austria to Turkey
With this message, I am submitting my orders: Vie-Tri; Bud s Vie-Tri;
Aeg-Ion; Ukr-xxx (not Rum).
I think we do need Gre-Alb to cut that potential support for Tri. If
you're concerned about Alb s Ion-Gre, we could use Bul and Aeg to
protect Gre via beleaguered garrison. Let me know whether and how you
want to do this, if so.

Ok, I've entered Ser S Vie-Tri, Gre-Alb, Bul S Aeg-Gre. From what I know, I
think Alb S Ion-Gre is quite likely, so I'm hoping you'll agree to Aeg-Gre to
keep Italy out. I'll leave Wait set until I hear back from you.

Message from Austria to Turkey
OK, I'm entering Aeg-Gre.
I've also revised my odds that you're going to accept my allegiance to 3-1
against. I'm not sure exactly why I feel so uncomfortable; but I usually
trust such feelings.
But in this case, I won't. If you want to kill me, it will be easy. If
you want to kill Italy first, I'll help you, and I prefer it that way.
You've probably already made your decision, one way or the other; but if
there's anything I can do to help you decide in my favor, please let me
know.

Please don't scare me like that. I'm nervous enough about my stab as it is, I
don't need to go down the path of worrying about whether or not *you* will
come through. I'm clinging to the premise that this is my big chance to pay
Italy back for his Leponto, and that it may be your last chance to pay him
back for Trieste.
To confirm, I have ordered Ser S Vie-Tri, Gre-Alb, Bul S Aeg-Gre. Bla will be
either attacking Rum or self-bouncing in Con. Italy isn't telling me what
he's ordered for Alb, but it is surely either to support Tri, attack Gre, or
support Ion-Gre. My gut tells me it's support Ion-Gre. In any case, our
orders will clearly win the day no matter what he does.
> But in this case, I won't. If you want to kill me, it will be easy. If

I realize full well that killing Italy won't be all that easy. But if I don't
do something now, I'm not going to have much of a chance later on. This way
I'll have an ally in the matter, and I'll at least come out on the good end of
the exchange.

You've already done it. Or rather, you'll be doing it this fall. As long as
you don't leave me with major egg on my face this turn, it will be all good.

Just a reminder: please submit moves today. We have another extension
coming up and I'd like to get in the moves, retreats, and builds if
we can before his return.
