Here are the retreats and the retreat press.
Deadline for the Fall moves is 6.8.2002, 12:00 GMT.
F Ionian Sea retreats to the Aegean Sea.
F Belgium retreats to Picardy.
F Sevastopol retreats to the Black Sea.
A Trieste retreats to Tyrolia.
to England: Right - if you've been asking for centers in your press, I'll
expect you to simply support
yourself to Sevastopol. If you're wanting to pick up more mainland Austrian
centers next year, take
it with Moscow, if not just take it with Ukraine - that'd be pretty
unambiguous I think. I really hope
you'll be moving to Naples (and knowing this, Turkey won't move there -
enabling you to take
the centre). Anything else I can do for you, please let me know.
to Turkey: Okay, a soloist. If draw's worth nothing to you, then the move
you made would be the
best one - from zero in a million to one in a million chance for a solo. So
again it comes down to
different playing styles and me not being particularly fond of you calling
it "revenge" after the course
of the game. Point taken. Still, I wouldn't want a soloist in my back and I
still have your "revenge"
press to avenge! :-)
to Germany: I wonder if the English did indeed push on you this turn or
not - if not, congratulations
with your home centers!
to France: Ohoy over there! Want to bring back an extra army (Pie) to defend
your home country?
England to...
Austria;
OK deal, I'll let you know what I'm doing and it will be up to you
if a stab comes or not.:)
Course, everyone else will be reading also.
This Fall I will take Rome...no one except you can stop it.
Like I said I don't want EVERYthing from Austria.
I'm going to hold you to your word about Italy, however, except I
probably won't be able to take Venice,
perhaps we could trade something else?
France;
Nothing to say huh?
Hm. OK then , I guess the battle lines have been drawn.
Germany;
Well, France was more worried about me taking Belgium than him taking
Munich from you...actually worked to our advantage.
Lets keep it going...support for Ruh into Burgundy?
Turkey;
OK...I won't take it personal. But to be honest I still would have
helped Austria into Sevastapol...he offered a three for one sale!
Can't beat that with a stick.
What you said about that Naples bounce during the stab was right on.
Was thinking the same thing myself. Even if you thought he didn't
expect the stab in the slightest, the move from Apu to Nap was almost a sure
thing.
But keep talkin. I have nothing against you either. I might support
you into Tunis
instead of moving on Rome, if you have said as much.
Germany to England:
Since France can not now stop it, I'd like it if you could support Munich to
Burgundy.
I can then support your fleet to Picardy in the following spring. Unless
you are in a
position to convoy an army over.
Also, be careful, Austria isn't as hurt as he appears or professes to be.
When you look
at the map, he's actually not in that bad shape. Especially if he was smart
and retreated
to AEG.
Move SIL to to BOH and once I build in Munich we can push in that direction
as well.
well, guess that its going to be an english solo, then. no sweat. :)
