France: Army Picardy can retreat to Paris



Message from France to Master, Austria, England, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Turkey

Sorry again for being late. I have never ran across this
deadline issue where it lists the next day. Looking back
at more of my messages, some did say Wednesday, but those
were sent from a different PC. The last six had
Thursday, from one particular PC. I really do not
understand why I am getting different listings. But I
will have to pay more careful attention to the times in
addition to the dates. I will check my registration, but
that should not have changed based on the PC? I will
look into that too.

This was my first time being late this game, and
hopefully my last. I usually use set wait, but this time
I had no idea what my default orders were even going to
be.

My retreat is in.

My apologies,
France



Message from France to Italy

Roberto:

Thanks for the support to Spain. It was not what I
wanted, but good manners requires that I at least thank
you for it. :-)

I guess things worked out for the best, although I would
have liked to be in the Mid-Atlantic. I suppose that
you would not consider support for a move to MAO this
season? :-) Would you consider attacking it just to
break support if I felt that was useful? I have yet to
look at a map, so I do not yet have a plan.

If I asked you to support me to Munich you would probably
choke and cough, right? :-) It would be nice to have
some sucess .... :-)

Message from Turkey to Italy

Roberto,

Well, things didn't go too badly, though not as well as I'd have liked. In
retrospect, your plan was the better one. I think you're still safe to move
Ion-Tun this turn, since we should have no trouble eliminating Austria. And
whatever happens, Tri is happily able to do anything it likes.

What are your thoughts on how to finish Austria? If we give Russia a center,
the most likely combination seems to be along the lines of Vie S Ser-Bud,
Tri-Ser, Bul-Ser, Bla S Sev-Rum, Arm-Smy, Con-Smy, Ukr-Sev. However, I'm not
sure that Russia would move Ukr-Sev, nor that it would be in his best
interests to do so.

The only alternative is for one of us to pick up two builds this year, but I'm
not entirely comfortable with that either. I had hoped we could continue our
one-build-apiece tradition for the sake of stability.

What are your thoughts?

Ali



Message from Turkey to Italy

When will I ever learn to proofread these things before I send them, instead
of after?

> whatever happens, Tri is happily able to do anything it likes.

I meant, Tyr, not Tri. Lots of interesting possibilities for Tyr, as there
almost always is, but lots of freedom as well.

Ali



Message from Italy to France

Congrats! Looks like you won't be losing a center this year AND you can
re-gain the MAO. Good job!

Roberto



Message from Italy to Germany

Tyrolia will be exiting post-haste (and not to Munich as Russia has
suggested).

Roberto



Message from Italy to England

Uh-oh! Did you lose your German friend? Looks from here like he expected
you to stab him.

Roberto



Message from Italy to Turkey

The judge appears to be down again so this may be out of date by the time
you get it.

I'm pleased. Just a quick glance at the results but Germany's move
surprised me. Looks to me like he expected an English stab.

Also looks like the two of us can take all of Austria this turn if we want.
We'll have to think long and hard about how much we care about Russia
keeping a center.

More later after I take a close look at the map (and the judge wakes up).

Life is Beautiful,

Roberto
