Greetings!
And thank you for your support last turn.
I am getting incrisingly worried about A and T, and need more active
support against them.
The question is from where?
If you do not help me with Austria I might be forced to help France so
that he can help me instead.
You have a lot of armies a couple of them should be able to move across
the alps.

Please think about that! Paul
Message from Germany to England in 'ruffians':
Christian:
My plan for S'05 is to order A Pic-Bre (again); can you support
me? I will also send A Bur-Gas supported by Paris.
To show his gratitude for my support, Italy is now demanding that I
attack Austria with my A Mun. Sigh. I have to explain the facts of
life to that boy....
Paul
Message from Turkey to England in 'ruffians':
Christian, altough the talks, I guess Austria will never play with me
against his, former
according to Chris, but still current I think, Russia's ally. Officially, I
still believe him,
talking to stop England, but I believe it's the last turn where he can find
me so stupid.
Actually, I didn't realize that last turn was coming so fast, especially
after several weeks
of wait. I have no negociations in it, and the orders I send were not
coherent at all.
So, as long as I'm in Warsaw, I can help you. Unfortunately, your army is
not in
position for a convoy in Norway. Despite that, I think you'd better to take
StP this turn.
Unless you think it's time to stab Germany, it will be a good idea. You'll
still be in good
position after, ans as long as Austria plays with Russia, you'll need a
strong ally, and I
shall not be this one, unfortunately, so maybe you'd better to cross the
stalemate line ASAP.
For instance, moving F Nwg - Barents Sea, F Swe - Botnia, and Ska -Norway. I
will soon
be busy, and I'm quite tired in that game. I guarantee you that I'll cut the
support in
Moscow, if you need too. Hope that all email games are not so ... delayed.
I mean, I use to play FTF CONTINUOUS games, and this one is not at all. The
only
message of Austria, with whom I was trying to play, arrived AFTER the
deadline. So...
He says he was not able to write before, but the bounce in Bul leads me to
an opposite
opinion. And I cannot be sure, as unlike FTF, I don't even see him. Please
tell me
what his your opinion.
Cyrille.

As you seemed too -poor french, who help you last turn:-) - want do anything
to
survive, I think we can try to cooperate. I suggest to move F Con - Aegean.
Austria will probably build army Trieste, so he can either send it in Serbia
or in Italy.
I will tell Austria that I still believe in him, so if he send not it in
Serbia, you'll be able
to take Greece, or take Con, or retreat in Con, if things go in the wrong
way, for
me at least:-), with Apulia, either move to Ion, or Venise, depending on
what you want
a do with A Marseilles. Anyway, I guarantee you that if I need to retreat
from Rom, I'll
not retreat in Naples. I don't want to survive a couple of years more. I
tried Austria and
Russia, it fakes. If it's not with you, too bad:-)
All the best,
Cyrille.
Message from Turkey to Austria in 'ruffians':
That's it, I understand. I does not even see the deadline, that's why my
orders were so
stupid. Now, I know. It's two months of wait, 3 days for negociation and
orders, and
so on. And now??
Message from England to Germany in

Paul,
I was thinking of moving my fleets about to be able to attack MAO next
move. So I would rather move F Eng-Iri if that's ok with you.
I guess that you might talk to Asutria and arrange the "attack" on him so
that he doesn't lose anything from it while to Italy it seems like you are
attacking...:-)

So you do not want to help me with Austria...
Well, then I have to find some other way to survive. Because I do not think
you will suddenly change your mind when/if you get Brest.
And I will be deadhow if nothing is done now.

The Pope
Message from Austria to Turkey in 'ruffians':
Cyrille,
I have a couple of thoughts. 1st, niether of us wants Italy to get anywhere
where he can do damage -- any MORE damage. 2nd, England is about to crack
this whole game wide open. if we don't work together, we are definitely
going to get steamrolled. I think our immediate goals should be to
1) Finish off Italy
2) blockade the Med,
3) Pressure the German Rear.
Here is my initial plan, if you think these goals are reasonable ones. We
need to put you in Naples, and Me in Rome. Specifically, I think you should
move to the Tyhrn Sea, and I should follow you in -- that way, I can support
you into Naples in the fall.
Italy's fleet in Bulgaria can only go 3 places, greece, Con, and the Aegean.
If you and I bounce in the Aegean in the Spring, I can support you in in the
fall. I don't believe it would be a good Idea to let Roland link his two
fleets up, even for a short while. As it is, he might move to the Ionian,
and then I have to worry about convoys from Tunis (ack.).
I will be moving my new fleet to the Ionian (with any luck) at the end of
the year. Next year we can take Tunis, and hopefully get to Iberia before
the Germans/English.
The main question I have, is what to do with Russia? We can certainly take
3 of his centers, but can we do that AND hold Germany when he turns around,
AND stop England at StPete? I don't know -- it really depends on how long
F/G stay together.
I think I should hit rumania, and you should take Sev, in the Spring. Maybe
I can convice Cal to work with us -- he is pretty down on the game at this
point. If we could use him to hold things in the north, it would be really
usefull. But we have to start taking his centers, at the same time. It's a
tricky juggling act.
Putting Pressure on Germany is a tough one too -- I'd like to do that right
now, but I think Next year is when that will have to happen.
That's my take on the situation. Let me know what you think!
Best,
Chris

Your fleet moves are okay with me; if I can get into Gas this Spring, I'll be
able to
nab Bre on my own in the Fall!
The suggestion about arranging a "shadow stab" of Austria is an
interesting one.
It might keep the Italians in line!
Paul
Message from Germany to Austria in 'ruffians':
Dear Chris;
I've got a problem with my new Italian "ally": he wants me to
attack you with a
quixotic solo A Mun charging over the Alps. If I don't do it, he says
he'll throw in
with the French.
Is there a way that I can make a "show" move of attacking you
without really
doing so? I.,e., can we arrange an attack by Mun with your
foreknowledge, so that
you aren't hurt by it?
(I don't feel very suicidal right now!)
Paul
Message from Germany to Austria in 'ruffians':
Roland;
You seem intent upon digging in your heels about this Austrian
thing....
But you aren't being specific. Just what is it that I have to do in
order to retain your
friendship, and can I still "buy" your support for A Bur-Gas this
Spring?
Is it a token A Mun-Tyr that you want? I could order A Mun-Boh,
but that
would leave Munich untended with Austria still in Tyr.
Paul
Message from Germany to Turkey in 'ruffians':
To the Sultan:
Italy is getting very insistent that I attack Austria to help him
out, but I only have
a solo army in Munich with which to do it. If I am to open up another
eastern front,
I have to have a credible ally and the Pope ain't it! Do you have any
suggestions?

>Paul
I'm tired of austrian's talks. I guess Russia is still his ally. So, I'll
try to do something with Italy against him. Of course, due to our very weak
tactical position, your help should be very useful. According to his build,
he's not afraid at all with you. With Marseille's fall, france will not
survive any longer. Of course, it depends on England's attitude, but I
believe that with the A/R ally, he'd no choice but to play with you.
He has only one army to defend his territory. I think Italy will attack
Venise. If so, Austria will only take Rome with Venice, and so will be very
weak in his home centers. If you move in Tyrolia, you'll have, at least, a
50% chance of win. Moreover, the pressure on Austria will be really strong
there.
Message from Turkey to Austria in 'ruffians':
I agree, I'll move in Ionian, and attack Sevastopol. Please cut the support
in Rumania.
Message from Turkey to Italy in 'ruffians':
Fine, I'll then move in Ionian. I talked with Germany, trying yo convince
him to move in Tyrolia. At least, and especially with Austria's build, it
will lead to a great pressure over Austria's home country. Try to convince
him too.

Message from Germany to Italy in 'ruffians':

Message from England to Turkey in

Cyrille,
I first have to agree that email is not at all so fun as FTF Dip. Too bad
actually.
Anyway, about our game: You know that I never tell anyone what I will do,
but you also know that I always want BALANCE. This means that I will
probably do something like what you have propsed, but maybe I don't...:-)
I hope we can continue to talk and after this move you will see my
immidiate intentions.
D'accord?

Cal,
Ok, when you asked about the Proxies, I assumed you were joking. I guess
not.
Hmm.
I have tried to cut a deal with Cyrille, but that doesn't look like it's
going to happen, he is too greedy for it to work. Also, we are going in the
wrong directions.
So, the deal now is this -- you can take back Warsaw, or cover StPEte, or
re-take Sev, but probably not two or three of these things. I can't do you
any more harm, well, I guess I could hit Rumania again but I am not going to
do that! It was a bad decision on my part in the frist place. This damn
game!
I don't know what come s next -- it looks liek E/G have this sewn up unless
they start to fight. If you care to set the board up, and see what the
situation is, and want to do something, let me know.
Sorry about rumania -- I thought you were cutting your own deals elsewhere.

WHEE! Sure, wow, what a deal! I haven't been offered a deal that good
since I was teamed up on by 4 powers in S1901 as Austria!
Hmmm -- howabout YOU support ME into Marsaille, and then you build some
Fleets to go after ENGLAND, hmmmmm?
Geez, what kinda patsy do you think I am?
Am I unusually belligerant at 12:45 am? ;)
Seriously, you won't be getting any OVERT help from me -- though I would
accept the support in, actually. It'd get that Italian unit out of BOTH of
our hair.
And fercryin out loud, build at least ONE fleet -- your armies can't stop
Christian where it counts. he'll be back in the saddle once he turns the
corner at Gibralter if SOMEone doesnt stop him, and Austria is usually NOT
the strongest Naval power!
I am all for a central power axis -- go get England!

I wasn't. Although I told Rick I would continue playing, it's my opinion
that this game should be abandoned. When the Judge processed that turn
using my old orders, the game, how can I put this? became no longer valid as
a contest of skill. John (France) (or was it Italy?) put it correctly when
he said that the game had lost all extracurricular value.

Just set the board up and there's not much we can do together. I would
suggest you support me in Rumania though, because if Cyrille dislodges me,
I'd have to retreat to an open centre. Despite your "Rumanian Perfidy",
Cyrille is still the one who's been yanking my chain all game, so I'd rather
deny him a centre than take one from you.

Chris: If I build a second fleet, England jumps after Bel and I'm automatically
on
the defensive. No thanks. I provoke England prematurely, and he allies with
what
is left of France; I have to fight for everything I get. No thanks.
If I agree to support you to Mar, what do I get for my trouble? Just a
continuation of the status quo? Oh. Just one build, and it has to be a fleet?
Oh.
I supported Italy to Mar and what did he do? He turned renegade. What can I
expect from you? Oh, oh.

Okey, I can accept that! Ofcourse. :-)
The Pope
Message from Germany to Turkey in 'ruffians':
A bow (of the head, anyway) to the Mighty Sultan:
Austria has refused to support me into Mar in return for my allying
with him
vs. Russia. Instead, he demands that I support HIM into Mar and that I
build fleets
vs. England. Hmpf.
I think that A Mun is headed to Tyrolia this Fall.
At your service,
The Chancellor
