Thanks, so much. Why did you feel it was necessary to
lie to me? Austria I expected, but what do you gain from
this?

Nick,

Basically, I just chickened out. I had you, Italy and Austria all asking
different things of A Ser. I knew that whatever I did, I'd piss off two out
of three. At various times today, I had all three sets of orders in,
pro-Austrian, pro-Italian and pro-Russian, and I kept changing my mind. In
the end, I decided that in the long run it would be best for Turkey to keep
Italy on the friendly side, and I acted with purely selfish motivations.
I tried to sell you on the Vie plan, which it turns out would have worked.
In retrospect, I should have had the balls to tell you I couldn't support
your attack, and push harder for the Vie plan as the best I could offer. I
regret now that that wasn't what I did. It would have saved us both a lot
of grief.
I think part of it also was that in the spring, you didn't do what I
expected. If you had, we could have bounced in Sev and you'd have been
guaranteed a build without worrying about Bud. But that's neither here nor
there. In the end, I felt the most confident that Italy would move as I was
expecting. But that was just part of it.
So I have no excuse to offer, only my apologies. For what it's worth, I
would still rather see you in Bud than Austria or Italy. And, now that
Tri/Gre are resolved, there's no reason Ser/Rum can't support you there next
year.
I don't blame you for being angry, I handled that badly and I know it.
Sincerely,
Ali
France: Army Burgundy DISBAND
