Message from France to England

Ivy:

Well, now it is time to talk about adjustments.

I think that not building in Brest and Liverpool are
givens. How can we manage your builds so that they are
both effective and do not give me ulcers about my exposed
back? :-)

Given that you do not want me to make too much progress
against Italy, do you prefer that I build an army in
Paris?

Message from France to Italy

Roberto:

I understand your position now and think that I may be
able to live with it. Going slowly sits well with just
about everyone anyway :-) Well, except probably Turkey.

Message from France to England and Russia

I know that we need to wait and see what Germany
disbands. At this point I am willing to transfer Belgium
to England so that he can transfer St. Petes to Russia.

I figure that I can take an Italian center to make up for
it and have a shot at Munich. But I do not plan to grab
every center in sight. I have no desire to put on my
Tee-shirt with all those concentric colored circles on
it.

I wish to build a fleet and an army in London and Edinburgh. Just tell me
where to put them.

>Given that you do not want me to make too much progress

I do prefer a build in Marseilles. Three northern armies for you poses
quite an offensive threat in Germany and the lowlands. Even a fleet in
Brest would be better than an army in Paris from my point of view. Having
said that, no build of yours will alter our alliance as long as we stay on
our current course.

Ivy.

This works for me. ;^}

I would respectfully suggest that we should emphasize
taking German Centers and just maintain pressure on
Italy. There is obviously some question of how Italy
will react to pressure, but if he opts to throw
everything at France, and give Turkey room, I could
easily face a Turkish attack just as the German
pressure is fading.

Your Friend,

Nick.



Message from England to France

Prince Boar,

Perhaps my last message was overly worrisome. Build anything you want
anywhere you want.

As for becoming a target, I agree that it is still premature for one nation
to get very in front by more than a unit or two. However, collectively we
have 13 and in another year we will have several more. Very, very soon we
will be unstoppable as a team.

It is my hope, and I think yours as well, that we can then sweep across
Europe. Eventually, we will have to deal with each other. However, if the
only possible outcomes in a game are a win for me, a win for my partner, or
a 17-17, then I will take those odds any day.

Ivy



Message from France to England

Ivy:

I am building Army Marseilles.

I think that you should probably build Fleet Edinburgh
because of the German fleet in the Skageraak. If you
built Army Liverpool instead of London, that would free
me up to do what I had to do against Germany, without
worries. I do not expect that you would convoy until the
fall. Does this make sense?

--Prince Boar
