best of luck!  you've got one helluva problem coming your way. Oh, I know. I don't think a single person has been straightforward with me - or on my side - all game. is this a recurring trend or unique to this game> 😉 i think Russia would be interested in preventing Germany from getting many gains off of you. Oh I'm gonna be a maaaaaassive pain in Germany and France's asses, I've got 2 armies on the island and that'll make things really annoying for them. i know!  but, FRance is about to get two more builds off of Italy. What terrible play by Italy.  Just embarassing, low quality play. but, I guess he really wanted to see what a convoy to Syria would be like. You have quite the guessing game with F NTH! Go for Denmark?  Threaten Denmark and maybe bounce in Norway?  Try for either BEL or HOL? Hold on, brother!  Help isn't coming, but ... still ... hold on! Yeah ... was hoping you would play better defense than that. Maybe keep the fleet?  see if you can't help rescue Russia? you kept the army?  Mitch ... you can't do anything with an army ...
