	A double stab! Advice is appreciated :-) Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

My game has just seen F04. I stabbed both E and A at the same time. Now at 13 SCs, four builds of wich I can only use three of course. Look for yourself and tell me what I shall do next:

Wow, excellent work!

I'd say build F Kiel, F Berlin, and A Munich. You really need armies to fight Austria with meaning you might want A Berlin, but I think that you need fleet support more than anything to allow you to contain Britian, as well as to take back Brest with.

Good luck. I hope Turkey agrees to help.

Sahib, Nice work, but be careful. Thirteen SCs after 1904 should been ringing alarms in every capital. Three builds is great, but you'll need them all. What you really need is an ally. Preferrably someone with an axe to grind like Italy or France. Someone who's not going to care too much if you solo. Keep in mind that if you solo, that res of the players get ZERO points. They won't be too thrilled about that.

I'm not saying don't go for the solo, but be careful how you do it. As for builds, that depends on your ability to make allies. If, as SnowFire suggests, you can get Turkey's cooperation, then build two fleets and go after England. If Turkey and Austria unite, then you'll need armies. They look to be at odds, which may not allow them much opportunity to work together. You need to convince Turkey that you're not looking to solo, just to top the board, and if he helps you do it, second place is his...

Unfortunately your stab of Britain is rather unfinished, and you can't follow through effectively on it. He has some tough choices, but he can retake Brest, and has relatively easy builds in Iberia, which will appea before you can get to his home SCs. A lot depends on what he disbands.

Turkey told me, very friendly but frankly, that he will fight me, fearing a solo. So I decided on

F Kie
A Ber
A Mun

I think I can get France at my side. After all I brought him back in the game and told him what to do last turn. He would be dead now without my stab.

The question is: how do I defend against AT. And do I go for Nor or Nth first. It depends on what Britain disbands of course.

I thought about
F StP-Bot
F Swe - Ska
F Kie - Hol.
A Lvn - StP

This way I can either take NtH, an investment into S06. Or I could attack Nor in fall.

What do you think?
