English F Liverpool can retreat to Irish Sea or Clyde.
French A Burgundy can retreat to Marseilles, Gascony or Paris.
to England: A very silent Winter. I've ordered to
Apulia in hopes of being able to support you to
Naples in fall. I hope the silence is not a sign
that you are going to stab, you definitely don't
need my centers to win.
to Turkey: If everything else than a Turkish solo
is equally bad to you, wouldn't you shoot for the
stalemate line somewhere and attempt to cross it,
just to improve chances or something?
Austria;
O sorry. You had already mentioned Sevastapol and said I DIDN'T have to
broadcast EVERY move, so I didn't.
Rum will be next.
Naples? I may HAVE to the way Turkeys talkin.
France;
Reap the whirlwind...:)
Protect the home centers...Protect the home centers...Protect the home
centers...
Learned nothing from Italys fiasco did we?
Germany;
OK, we'll see if I can get in.(hope that wasn't smoke and mirrors)
Since you're helping ME into Burgundy...what did YOU want?:)
Thanks for the support.
Turkey;
Nap support Tun to Rome huh?
OK BE that way.
My move to Rome was as much helping YOU out as it was grabbing a center for
England, I could have easily blocked you FROM Naples instead like Austria wanted and
maintained a position against Tunis.
Your just making it easier to buy into Austrias "destroy Turkey" doctrine.
I've asked you to talk to me, and instead you talk to others.
How many times do I have to say I'm open to deals, but I'm not a mind
reader?
As for my 18th center? I apreciate the flattery, but I think as opposed to
good play I kinda lucked into the current position. That, and 'good neighbor'
diplomacy. Good, bad, whatever... don't HAVE a namby-pamby 'shopping list'.
Read the board and play according to what people have done, what people have
said (easier in press gunboat, of course), and what people are doing.
More often than not I bet the solos you got?, that 18th center WASN'T the
one you banked on.
Guess I'm just not 'one of the best'.
In any event, I would REALLY be a bonehead if I announced what center I was
eyeing.:) I'm not 'The Babe', and this isn't baseball.
PS: If I wanted to be mean? I would have simply said: "ANKARA!" :^D
Germany to England:
Don't be alarmed, Berlin needed something to do.
If you went for, and made it to Spain we then
have the means to cut support to ti BUR and I will
again support you in. If this conflicts with your
press, I suggest we follow YOUR plan, whatever it
is.
england:
one point. austria's getting quite large, and almost able to defend himself
against you. you might want to make sure he's well neutered, before he
comes up and bites you in the cajones...
In gunboat, noone can hear you scream
