Message from France to Germany

Fredd:

Yes, I suggested to England that he convoy to Picardy.
This was better than his holding in Belgium and
supporting it from the Channel. I could have hit the
Channel, but risked England sneaking into the
Mid-Atlantic Ocean. It also afforded me the oppotunity
to bounce the army in Picardy and destroy it. But since
I did not think that you were holding in Ruhr, this was
not possible. In hind sight, I should have done that; I
would have preferred him in your hair in Ruhr and not in
mine. I will have to work on the path I chose, a
diplomatic solution. Yikes!

I did build the fleet as promised. I will need to focus
on Italy. I do not see how we can work together on that,
nor on England. If you have any bright ideas, I am
listening.

Message from Germany to France

No bright ideas here. I already have orders in to support you in
Belgium. I'm assuming that you're not going to be attacking Munich or
Ruhr. You're way too wide open if you move that army east. Other than
that there's not much we need to discuss.

Fredd



Message from Master to all

I'd like to encourage End-Of-Year statements from all the players (in
"press to m" format) and from any interested observers as well (in
posts to the vgfp_titleist Yahoogroup.

Message from Russia to Germany

Well, Fredd,

Is there anything your care to discuss? If you move StP/SC-GoB,
Den-Bal,
I'll support Lvn-Den from Sweden this Fall.

Message from England to Germany

Fredd,

It's me, your old friend Ivy. My moves are in and, once again, I am doing
what France requests. I do this under the assumption that France will
continue his all out assault on Italy. If he does, then I believe that
Italy will not be able to get his stalemate line. That has been my goal
for the past two turns.

Once it is clear that Italy's strength will be limited and that no one else
is about to run away with the game, then I will be prepared to reconsider
everything.

Ivy



Message from France to Germany

Fredd:

Thanks for the note. Sorry for the delay in writing
back. I have been at a conference for the last two days.

Turkey did indicate that he wanted to help you against
Italy. I have no problems with that. :-)

Good luck.

Nice to see how your 'friends' react to you taking the banana from the 800
lb gorilla.

Tell me about it. Ivy tells me that France is supposed to come at you
full force. For what that's worth.

My orders still have my army in TYR moving away from you. Someone else
can take the next banana.

It'll also be interesting to see if EFR and stay together. And what the
end result will be even if they do.
