I suppose we should see what G and A build before looking too close at next year's moves...

You're doing good Cyneheard - I'm chatting with Austria now and will be back in town tomorrow

So I assume we will have some of our northern units push south to cover our Austrian border and reclaim Sev while our Turkish units try to hold out until relief comes?

Yes I think that's the general plan.
I emailed Amelia asking if she wanted support into Bulgaria. She replied that she would move there.
We could guarantee it fell if Italy ordered Ion-Gre, but I'm not sure he'll do that or even if he should.
Lewwyn led me to believe he'd be building a fleet but obviously he didn't. So I think Ion-Adr, Nap-Ion might be better. We can still probably get Bulgaria in the fall. I think I'm leaning towards Ank-Con, Con-Bla.

Are we looking for Aeg-Bul and Ion-Gre, or Aeg S Ank-Con?

If we think Italy will order Ion-Gre I think we go for that. But I think that is better to move to Adr

Germany asked what England was offering to us by keeping F Fin and I replied
Quote:Well actually I asked him to remove that fleet but I guess he wanted to keep it. And thinking from a strict anti germany perspective, it probably makes sense - it at least keeps you honest in Scandinavia... Though once you're in the North Sea and such, he'll probably wish he had that army on the island....
I know that he had a chat with Cyneheard while I was gone and I'm just getting back up to speed. I'd assume that he is willing to give me Sweden if I can help him hold / keep / retake Norway. Now, given that you have 4 northern fleets to my 1, I'm not sure how much help I'd be able to provide, even if I were willing.
I'm open to suggestions in the north. If you're willing to let me have Sweden as you take Norway, I'd certainly be willing :-) If you want to flex your newfound power and take both though, I understand. I stick by what I said before though - you need a friend.

Quote:Basically I think Italy is still a little annoyed that you stabbed him :-). But he'll get over it. As for northern moves, my first instinct is Fin-Swe, Stp-Bot. The obvious moves for Germany are Den-Swe, Swe-Nwy (though he may order Den-Nth). I assume Nao-Nwg and Mao-Eng are a given from you? I think you also need to order Por-Mao. That could also let you retake Brest this year, which may make up some for losing Norway and/or a home center.
If I could afford Mos-Stp we could do more in the north but unfortunately it looks likely I'll need that vs. Austria

Quote:Okay so I'm back in town and able to get back into this - so what are we doing here? The real question is are you willing to put England's stab on you behind you? It's Dip - this stuff happens all the time. And you're no worse off and while sure it would be nice to punish him, it's no fun to punish England only to have Germany win  Trust me, there will be plenty of time to make England pay but right now we have to let him give a token defense vs. Germany - we can't have him fall as fast as France did and with Germany likely to take the North Sea and Norway this spring, he's in some trouble.
We can talk tactics whenever you want, but just wanted to take a step back and look at the big picture. The 2 moves I see in the east would be either Ion-Gre potentially working with Turkey to get Bulgaria, or Ion-Adr, Nap-Ion and take a shot at Bul or Gre in the fall.
I'm not entirely sure he isn't working with Austria at this point

Pleasantries to Austria
Quote:Hmm I didn't see a fleet out of you! Seems like your course is pretty set against me then. Which is a pity because I enjoyed working with you. You know what, I blame the non-rapping guy for all this! Ever since the rapper went away, Ruso-Austrian relations have taken a turn for the worse!
Obviously I'm not in a position to make any moves that require or assume your cooperation, since I can't afford the risk of the "double stab". But I'm sure you could figure out which moves of yours would be considered "pro-Russian" and which would not :-)
