Message from England to Italy
Good Roberto,
I expect you will destroy the mainland fleet as you indicated you would.
Rather than despair if I do not attack France, I hope that you have noticed
that you have a good chance to overwhelm Turkey and establish yourself with
considerable strength in the Turkish homeland. With some ingenuity you
should get two units from Turkey next year while losing two to
France. Just a shift eastward.
I still have my hands full in the north.

Message from Italy to England
We'll see. If France takes an Italian homeland center, I may just decide to
give everything else that I own to Turkey plus help him into Moscow and
Warsaw.

Sorry. I was trying to disband A War, but neither
D War or R War worked. I guess I'll just retreat,
instead.

The guessing game begins. Which powers are late?
Message from Italy to France
Play your cards right, and you will win this game. Make me disband again,
and I may not make the unbelievably one-sided orders you've seen recently.
England is encouraging me to continue my attack on Turkey thinking that, if
successful, I would turn to fight you. He couldn't be further from the
truth. I'd simply continue to order my units so that you'd eventually reach
18 making no attempt to stop you in the Balkans or Turkey for that matter.
However, if I have to disband in the near future, there is a 100% chance
that Turkey will grow as I will give him all my centers in the Balkans.
I will leave it up to you as to whether you want a cakewalk to victory or be
stuck between England and Turkey neither of which will have a viable enemy
to attack them.

Message from France to Italy
Roberto:
Thank you for your note. It was nice to hear from you
again. I was worried that you would never choose to
write again.
I do admit to being confused by your message. By not
taking any of your centers, how do you propose that I
achieve this cake walk to victory. What are you
suggesting that I do instead? How does letting you grow
achieve this end?
Hmm, I guess you said that I should not cause you to
disband. Are you asking me to slow down my assault to
match your taking of centers from Turkey? It would be
difficult to anticipate perfectly that rate.
Everyone was telling me that your goal was for me to grow
quickly and become a threat that they all must deal with.
I am not sure if this is based on your words or their
interpretation. Since I had not heard this from you, I
decided to discount it, until proven otherwise. Do you
care to elaborate, or would your prefer to remain silent?
I am taking no great joy in the path that I am on. It
seems the only reasonable alternative. I realize that
you get no joy from it either, and for that I apologize.
I look forward to hearing more from you.

Precisely. If I happen to gain a center, I will waive the build so you can
take it the following year unopposed. Wouldn't matter if I built anyway,
you could take it regardless. Once Turkey begins to collapse, you'll be
able to take several centers to make up for the slower rate. I'm sure after
the spring, we'll have a better idea of how many centers will be available.
If I 'guess' correctly, I should be able to take two from Turkey.

Pure speculation on everybody's part.
> I realize that you get no joy from it either, and for that
> I apologize.
Quite the contrary. I'm enjoying this game more and more as the days pass.
If you need further clarification, it will need to wait until Tuesday as I
will be gone for the weekend.
