Message from England to Turkey
Ali,
>I have entered my retreat order to Sev. Unless something new develops, I
>agree to attack Moscow per your request. I would definitely like to see you
>succeed in balancing French growth.
Wonderful! My goal in this is to discourage France from trying to initiate
a Russian/French attack on me. That would be bad for both you and me. It
would weaken or stall me and strengthen Russia, while giving Italy an even
freer hand against you. If Russia is really weak, then it is less likely
that France will think this could be profitable.
> I assume the move to Bel was made with
>his blessing?
Yes, but I better protect it in the fall. Returning to my goal, it is much
better for France to stake all on an English/French ending with the risks
that entails. However, we all know that a third party usually makes all
the difference in these endings. The third party can play off one power
against the other, bargain for another unit or two, threaten to throw the
game, maneuver for a 3-way, etc. I want that third party to be
you. Russia is too fond of France. Italy is too treacherous and is not
communicating.
>Any new word on Italy's threat to change course should France take Italian
>home centers?
No, nothing new. Given that he has taken Rumania, somehow I doubt that he
will turn around now. Especially since he has four units on Bulgaria. Who
knows though? If Italy truly believes that he is doomed, he may indeed
turn around. He carried out his threat to not defend Italy; maybe he will
carry out his threat to give units to you. For some people, their word
becomes very important when all else is lost.
> I am, of course, urging France to take Rome as well as Naples
>this year.
Me too. I even suggested to Germany that, since Munich is lost, he might
as well go for Vienna.
I'll let you know if anything develops.

Message from France to all
Sorry for my silence of late. I am in class W-F all day and only have
limited time at the computer. Last night I hurt my forearm/wrist area and
it was too painful to type. This morning, I cannot seem to get into my
usual e-mail. Hopefully that will be cleared up by tonight or even
possibly lunch time.
I will write when I can, meanwhile keep sending those love letters :-)

Ali:
I will do as much as I can this year. Next year I will
be able to do even more, as I will not need to walk so
carefully.

Message from Russia to Turkey
Ali,
Would you like me to tap Gal, so that you can
retake Rum from Sev? (War-Gal, Bla S Sev-Rum,
Bul-Ser would do it, I think.) Let me know.
Thanks,
Nick.
