Hey there - just checking in noting that there are multiple ways our interests can coincide. Certainly. Nice to meet you. Harrumph - that whole Western side of the board is setting off alarm bells.  I'd really appreciate if you let me into Sweden to slow England down - even if you take the dot next year, it's still to your and my advantage to let me position on him for a turn If I let you in you’ll likely build 3 Not sure what the third is - Rum, Swe, and?  Anyway, again, I fully expect you to take Swe next year - I'm just saying it's in both our interests if you let me convert it to a different unit first.  If you bounce me out I have not way to get rid of the fleet, whereas I can disband it if you dislodge from Swe next year 🙂 There third was Vienna 😁 Well, yeah, but there's no rational reality in which that should have worked.  Good thing I forgot to go back in and change my order to Baltic. 😄 Now I'm less glad that I forgot to go back in and change my order to Baltic. 😄 Well, this is fun.  On the bright side, looks like France left his English buddy out to dry, so...where do we go from here? So... I'm not following back up to Silesia and Prussia because y'all need to deal with a monster France over there I'm not sure I actually believe that you're going to just let your units just hang out aimlessly. Mate, you realize I'm just waiting for you guys to commit on France so I can deal with Turkey, right?  That gets harder the longer I have to hang back, btw My instincts to not trust you were accurate Say what?  I told you I was standing pat and I did. You responded by claiming you didn't believe I would stand pat even though I just had, and supporting the Austrian against me. So I moved, given it was obvious you were going to remain hostile despite my overtures. Mate, I'm still just killing time until you realize you have to deal with the French guy who's expanding all the way around your flanks and not cutting you into any of the gains. Thoughts? Now you want my thoughts? Dots are being thrown your way. Good luck taking down France. Thank you? Now that I have a channel *past* you, I'm happy to ignore you and go pound France. You bring in North sea would be helpful there. No, I'm not putting to on St Pete, because I have to cover your rogue army I think I got this too late Are you going to let me live? Negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.
