Press

Austria-Hungary

To Russia: Good show having a bounce in spring. Hope you didn't move in.
To Turkey: Can't afford risking Greece by supporting you to Rumania. If Russia moved to Galicia I am more than happy to work with you in that direction, if he didn't, put forward a proposed split and we'll take it from there. If you build a fleet, I'll assume you're moving against Italy, if you build in army, you're moving against Russia... after all, we are bestest, bestest buddies, yeh?
To Italy: Your moves seem westernbound, please advise of your intentions in press.
To Germany: Best of luck over there.
To England and France: Noone in the channel? How polite of you. Will it last, though?

England

Whats all this snivelling going on? Don't you, uh, gentlemen, have better confidence in your beginning games at least? DipKnights indeed.
Austria-Hungary is already begging for help and the game has barely started.... Good luck to YOU.
France, I have no intention of letting ANYone, Germany included, to gain three builds in one turn, BUT I'll handle it my way. Hope you made necessary arrangements.
Russia "Lets keep Scandiavia pure." What the heck does THAT mean? Can you be any more vague? I can guarantee I won't be stopping you from gaining Sweden...and as Germany made moves to ensure he can't stop you either, then by all means.
As far as how further anything progresses merely depends upon your builds this turn. A threatening F in the North of StP will ensure hostilities.
Turkey Fine thanks. Hows the kids? ?

France

The Italian encroachement, while mildly interesting, is mostly an annoyance with little consequence. Shoo fly.

Germany

G to F: No threat here, back off now and all will be forgiven. Besides, if you were smart you ordered MAR to SPA and BUR to MAR. So, were you smart?
G to E: No Sea Lion, Russia wants peace, me too. I guess we fight.
G to R: See note to E.

Italy

France, the Basque are a free people, leave them alone, or Italy will have to come a free them from your tyranny!
Austria, I did not move to Tyrolia or Trieste in my opening, still would like to work with you.
Turkey, no where near the Ionian, but do you need help from the Russians?

Turkey

austria: more than happy to let greece be yours.
russia: interesting moves. we'll see what happens after '01, hmm? if you have to retreat, and disband your fleet in exchange for an army build, maybe we'll talk more?
italy: very nicely done, i'm proud of you.
germany: good luck, you'll need it.
england: bubble, bubble, toil and trouble....
france: you and austria are both in the drivers' seat. both are in excellent position, and neither have any enemies (yet). which way shall you go, hmm?

Grey department

Well. Guess there's no Juggernaut, then.


Which side are you on, Austria?
Turkey, build a fleet in Smyrna and I'll help you against our enemies.
Russia to Austria;
'My move to Gal is only precautionary. Please do not take offence with it. '
Austria replies;
I didn't! I took DEfence to it!:)
