He might have been able to hold Syria, Xor, if he felt his position was untenable, convoyed the army out of Xthere. X XEngland is in grave danger. He doesn't know about Russia F Nrg, nor Xdoes he know about Russia's A Liv. X XPlayer's Commentaries: X-------- ------------- X XFRANCE X XComments: Same old same old. Italy blew his chance; I no longer Xneed his assistance against Germany. No commitment, no treaty. XNow I'm trying to second-guess England to land a beachhead. I'm Xtempted to move MAtl -> NAtl, cause I'm 60% sure that England is Xcounting on continuing to bounce me from London and isn't planning Xto attack the English Channel with support. However, I could be Xwrong, and I have time. I won't lose this way, and could still Xgain. I'm moving to wall off Germany so he cannot retreat toward Xmy territories - don't want to worry about him after this round Xat all. I expect to pick up a supply center this time, possibly Xtwo, so I think I can consolidate and build a couple of fleets Xfor the next phase of the war... I can't wait to build a new XSpy this winter. Maybe I can knock out the Italian eye, which I Xwould have placed in Gascony were I he. That is where I'll build Xone and then build an invasion force. X XRUSSIA X XMust protect the homeland before all else. Pesky Germans and XBrits!!!! Have made one risky change since my prelims--the move Xto the Norwegian Sea. Hopefully, France and I can make quick Xwork of England and Germany before we move on to other things. XMeanwhile, I continue to assist Turkey with the Italian Xquestion--goal is to get my F Bla out into the Aegean in F'04. XSome day, one of my armies may be convoyed to Tunis or Naples! X XTURKEY X XThe Turkish Govenrment declared war on the Italian state. XSultan Fausnaugh was heard saying to his as he was leaving the Xpress conference where he announced war, "The problem with a Xsovereign state is that you must accept the responsibilities of Xwar just as you accept the privileges of peace. The Italians Xwill not be happy when we finish punishing them for attacking XSmyrna and killing all of those people."

That plus his taking more territory in Germany and Xlanding in England nets him 4 builds! However, Turkey loses no units, Xdue to his taking of Budapest and his inability to build last year. X XGermany is eliminated and England is all but eliminated as well. XItaly continues to NMR and loses a supply center, but not a unit. XHe is still in the game. X XPlayer's Commentary: X-------- ----------- X XFRANCE X XComment: The evidence is irrefutable that Italy is allied with XAustria, and pretty convincing that Germany is part of the Axis. XFortunately, Italy has been totally involved in the east to the Xpoint that he couldn't threaten me. Now, however, I serve Xaggressive notice by crossing into Piedmont. If Italy had done Xwhat he agreed to, he would be stronger now and have allies of Xsubstance. A pity, although one must respect loyalty. At any Xrate, it makes it much easier for me to do what I must do - Xgo east. X XRUSSIA X XPesky Germans and Brits!!!! XI am hoping for France's help as follows: XA Kiel Support Russ F Bal->Berlin XA Ruhr Support Russ A Mun XA Bur Support Russ A Mun XBut I fear that A Bur might need to move to Par. Should be an Xinteresting move. X XI want Germany off the board this year. England next!! XTime to Turn on Turkey!!!! France agrees. X XTURKEY X XGee, I might actually get the build I didn't have enough centers for Xlast turn. Richard didn't want me to move to Armenia but it was the Xonly place that I could move to vacate another center for builds and Xstill be able to support his fleet into the Aegean. HE HAD BETTER XMOVE TO THE AEGEAN OR I WILL MAKE SURE THAT HE DOESN'T WIN THE GAME! X XThe Italians are really getting to be nusance! The Austrians, well, XI haven't heard a peep from them since we put the poison into their Xwater supply. X XI hear that the French are somewhat incompetent but doing okay. XRichard says that they are in a good defensive position against him. XI may be able to take advantage of this, I hope. I considered moving Xagainst the Russians but I decided not to since we are allied in your Xother game. I hate for him to think that I couldn't be trusted or Xsomething stupid like that!

X XPlayer's Commentary: X-------- ----------- X XRUSSIA X XComments: XDo or die time. I have viciously stabbed the Turks and now must brace Xmyself for the onslaught. Can I make a solo victory? Thank God it's Xonly a game. And of course, I can't use all 4 of my builds!!!! X XThe Tsar chided his generals for changing the orders of A Rum and using Xthem to try to sneak into Bul instead of bouncing an attack on Bud that Xthe Turks had previously announced. "If we lose the war because of Xthis, you will find yourself burned to death like an Old Believer!" XThe Tsar stormed at General Gordonov. It may well have been the fatal Xblunder. X X(Clearly, I thought this my one shot at trying for a single Xvictory. Barry is, unfortunately, a worthy foe!) X XRUSSIA (Again) X XIt is with a heavy heart that I announce to the world that a state of Xwar exists between the nefarious Turks and Mother Russia. Our forces Xhave made a pre-emptive strike at Turkish territory due to the Turks' Xunreasonable demand that they be allowed into Armenia. Let us hope Xthat the war is soon over and that Russo-Turkish differences can be Xsettled quickly in a peaceful Europe.

Can he hold on against the Russian forces? X XAustria is squeezed between Russia and Turkey. X XPlayer's Commentary: X-------- ----------- X XRUSSIA X XEvery time I look at the Turkish issue, I get more and more confused. XSince this game does not require conditional retreats, I'm going to Xwait and see what happens before I write mine. Potentially, I could Xlose both Smy and Con this time. Worse, I could lose the UNITS XTHEMSELVES. I don't have the foggiest which orders to write for Con Xand Smy. I've been sitting here arguing with myself until my ass turns Xblue. All I can do is hope for the best. And I have to make sure that XI leave retreat paths open for both units without pulling any punches! X(Yes, Jeff, I checked the rules and I'm not allowed to retreat to Xcontested areas. So much for my brilliant prelim orders!) Thank Xheavens I have 2 more SCs than units right now.

Despite desperate attempts, Xanother Turkish army is forced to disband. However, since he has Xno home supply centers, he cannot rebuild the unit. X XItaly forces Austria out of Venice. X XFrance and Russia trade centers in Germany and the Low Countries. XFrance comes out behind in the deal. X XRussia picks up an incredible 4 builds! X XPlayer's Commentary: X-------- ----------- X XFRANCE X XComments: Apparently I bobbled my orders dealing with England last Xround, but With the grace of Russia, I will strengthen and straighten Xthat out now. My pieces ar a tad out of place. Damn. X XI trust that England will be dispatched, now. Sorry to see him go - Xa worthy foe. And friend, too, for that matter. X XI have to decline Italy's friendly but firm overture - my strategy is Xset and I'm aimed at him like a cocked gun. Too bad, he seems to know Xwhat he needs to do. I had invisioned a continued deal (expanded Xpartnership) with italy earlier, but when I invited Italy into Munich Xand he didn't show up, the whole dynamic of the game changed into a Xtwo-major-power state. I can't change now - I'm leaving too much area Xvulnerable. In residual wariness, I'm moving my A Burgundy into a more Xflexible position. X XRUSSIA X XBy ordering F Bul -> Con, I make sure that Turkey has to disband its A XAnk after it is defeated (since it cannot retreat to a contested Xarea). That means the worst that can happen is I'll end up holding at Xleast 2 of the following SCs: Ank, Con, Smy, and Bul. At least that's Xwhat I think.... X XThis is also the move in which France learns that I'm going for a solo Xvictory. It's going to be a close call. If Turkey, Austria, and Italy Xever cooperate with each other, I could get beaten back and France Xcould end up the winner. But it's a gamble I want to take. X XAlso, I'm trying to help the Italians to provide a better buffer Xagainst the French. X XTURKEY X XMy only comment is: BANZAI!!!

Meanwhile, his army in Berlin wonders if Xit will still be alive after the fall, surrounded as it is. X XItaly continues to aid Russia. It doesn't seem the wisest thing to Xdo, considering how large Russia is now. X XTurkey attempts to take over Austria, leaving the old country behind. XThe Austrians, though they did not actively defend themselves, could Xstill cause a major gum-up in the works. No less than five countries Xoccupy Austrian territory and the Balkans! X XPlayer's Commentary: X-------- ----------- X XFRANCE X XComments: I haven't been following the game closely enough to forge new Xalliances. Hope the goodwill is there. I am unilatrally disengaging Xfrom Italian hostilities and also English. (Actually, probably a bad Xthing to do, since I have England on the ropes, but better to build the Xgood will all over at this point... I hope) X XRUSSIA X XIf France is able to rally everyone against me, I will not win. I will Xdie a slow and cruel death after having come SO close! In the Xmeantime, I am going to ignore Vienna and press on towards Munich. I Xsuspect that France and Austria are now in cahoots. Turkey will also Xfall in line with that alliance if they ask him. Here's hoping they Xdon't ask. I think Italy is still on my side. And I hope France and XEngland don't work out any nastiness around the North Sea. I predict Xthat at the end of this year I will still have at least 15 centers, or Xpossibly 16, or improbably 17. If I have 17, I will have Italy to Xthank. I anticipate losing Edi and possibly gaining Bel. I'm going to Xtry for Bul, Tri, Ser, and Mun, too. Trying to decide between holding Xthe North Sea and going for Bel is a tough call. Have to see how Xthings work out down south (# of builds and losses). Mun is of more Ximportance than Bel (in my opinion). My move to the Eng either Xbounces a 1-1 move to Eng or forces a 2-on-1 move. I Xcan try to land in Bel from either Eng or Nth next time if signs are Xfavorable. Tyrolia is a dead army unless he can end up in Trieste (a Xmove that will enable the Italians and me to support each other next Xturn).

We could not have succeeded in this victory Xwithout the assistance of Italy and, after a reconciliation, Turkey. XFrance and Turkey made worthy allies, and worthy opponents--we might Xnote. The new Italian leader showed himself to be a good strategist Xand a very worthy ally. X XThe Russian people are rejoicing. Loaves of white bread are being Xdistributed to the peasantry in honor of the occasion. Peace is at Xhand in time for the lovely Tsarina's confinement. That our future Xheir be born in peacetime has been our fondest wish. X XMay Europe be forever peaceful!
