On that basis, Rowain's threat is valueless and we should work to reduce his combat power as much as possible while keeping our northern border as strong as practicable withou being confrontational, to reduce the likelihood of a stab by G.
Right. And there's 3 types of second place (from worst to best):
UF wins 18 - 13ish Us - 3ish Italy (no one else would be alive before UF gets to 18, frankly)
UF wins 18-16 (Tunis for #18?)
We draw 17-17.
KILL ROWAIN.
Really, StP will be fine as long as England lives. Once England dies, though...

If we get to 18 before G I would be surprised, but I suppose it's possible.  It would require I not to throw to G though, as well as A continuing to be willing to hand over centers.

Well, that changes things slightly. We can't claim both Greece and Smyrna now.

Sure we can. Austria still supports us in, but now we don't have to worry about Turkey bouncing the move on Aeg.
Italy isn't going to support himself into Gre, and even if he does, Austria is cutting support in Ion

I thought we were supporting A into Gre. If he's supporting us in instead, ok... we're keeping Rum as well, or giving it back?

Getting a full set of time to redo this turn = good idea, because F Aeg is very different from F Smy for our neck of the woods. Except:
Lewwyn doesn't care about this game.
Amelia wouldn't need 2 days to make any new decisions.
Therefore, it's REALLY obvious to Rowain that we asked for extra time (Why would G or E care about a minor tactical change down here?).
So, how do we keep him from worrying about what we're going to do?

A War, F Sev, or F StP (NC?)?

We have 2 units both going to StP in the last turn, is that right?
Oh, and to answer your question, Cyne, I guess we stop him from worrying about it by not doing anything. (At least not yet.)

Well he's going to view that as a stab. We didn't bounce him in Smyrna, as we had agreed to do, and we didn't take any of Austria's centers (instead we vacated Rumania in the fall)
It's annoying that he has a build from Portugal but what can you do....
And yes, we bounced ourselves in Stp, but Germany didn't bounce us in Stp, as he had agreed to do, and instead tried to support our move of Bot-Stp (which would have moved our fleet out of Bot and left us unable to build in Stp.
So not cool, but luckily scooter cut the support from Norway so :neenernee
I'm tempted to build in Stp just because I'm annoyed with uberfish. But we really do need some more units in the south...

I actually think that A Stp is a better build than a north coast fleet. Then Stp S Lvn-Fin in spring, with Fin S Bot-Swe, Stp-Nwy in the fall.
But I'm not sure we really want to open that front again, when the south is far from resolved....
