Look at this moves:

Austria-Hungary
F Tri - Alb
A Bud - Ser
A Vie - Gal

England
F Edi - Nth
F Lon - Eng
A Liv - Wal

France
A Mar - Spa
A Par - Pic
F Bre - MAO

Germany (Sahib)
A Mun - Bur
A Ber - Kie
F Kie - Den

Italy
A Rom - Nap
A Ven H
F Nap - Ion

Russia
F Stp (s) - GoB
A Mos - Stp
A War - Ukr
F Sev - Bla with Turkish F Ank

Turkey
F Ank - Bla with Russian F Sev
A Con - Bul
A Smy - Arm

Couldīnt go much better, could it. Not only in the west, also the east: Italy staying in Ven, so Austria must fear a stab. Only russia worries me a bit. He is under too much pressure for my (german) taste.

Holy momma of Jesapath! Chances of France are screwed beyond belief!

And I wouldn't worry about Russia either - you and him are almost bound to get fighting someday, and who knows, maybe you'll even pick up center or two in conundrum. But otherwise, it's sweetest possible situation for you - you and England will have short work of chopping France up for good, England will have other things to do after that, Italy's all right, and Russia's already under pressure.

Ye gods did you fvck over the poor little Frenchman. Good work

Now that Mos-StP is a bit worrying but that'll keep the brit from getting too big...
you'll be able to hand the russia a beat-down eventually, just keep friendly with the Austrians and tell the Italains not to mess with them...

Not only is the Frenchman screwed tighter than a poodle, but you Italian ally seems a bit clueless to boot (okay, bad pun). What in the world is he doing in Naples? I'll grant you that he's probable going to Tunis via convoy anyway, but why risk not having support available for venice in Apulia if you really need it?

So...do you go for Belgium now and hope that France moves back to Paris?. This is rich!! Great job Sahib.

Nice job on France, dilema also with Bel, I believe it is so important to get Germany three builds if you can in the first year, but you did a great job of dispersing your enemies. France is screwed backwards, England is really no threat(at the moment) and Russia split forces(that I believe is suicidal) considering Austria is in Gal and Turkey went to Arm. All attention is away from you, nicely done.

Sahib, BTW
I am going for Bel, I truely feel that Iain and I have the Frenchy fooled, but we'll see if the gamble pays off.

And my english friend adores me. Itīs crazy. he was so unsure about his moves. When i finally convinced him he seemed exhausted. Now I get this:

"Hello Sascha,
Well me lovely boy, you certainly did do it. How you got me to make those moves I don't know, and still don't know, but regardless a big thank from me. I won't get maudlin, but this game is not only about, lying, stabbing, and dirty deeds, it is also about, love, trust, and the humane condition... Oops, gone astray here, I was thinking of something else. Anyway you know what I mean. Already received an e-mail from Russia, desperately reaffirming our alliance (GRE).
I will look at the board, and see if I can't add something constructive from my side.
Well done again. Hear from you soon. Dodge"

But back to business:

I need advice. Lots of it. Becuse this is now very difficult.

First, the north: Russia is totally screwed in the south and still wants Swe AND Nor AND a triple ERG alliance! However, since I cannot effort Russia to die so early, I am willing to give him Swe. After all, if R falls, T will pass the stalemate line already in 03, much earlier then I can be there.

Then, France:
Wow, itīs to confusing. Will he cover his SCs? Or will he try to outsmart us? And if yes, how? Leaving Bre open? Or Par?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE FRANCE?????

Thanks for the help, guys!

Well maybe let the English have Bel and support a convoy in with Bur.
If I were France I'd protect Bre and Mar and get that Spa build...
I say give Russia the finger. Russia is damn vulnerable, take War and Swe and try to get StP for the brits or yourself...
