Hi Italy, I think we should at least touch base since we share a neighbor Have you had any contact with Austria yet? We've been in touch What are your plans so far? If you wish, we can work together to push out Austria. Going to see the opening moves and see where we can go from there I hope we have some basis for a mutual understanding now? Russia also stabbed me... Aye, I imagine it's to do with the Black Sea? I plan on moving to Greece this turn as that'll give me a foothold to help you against Austria Sure, I'll need to reconsider what to do with the black sea Have you heard from Austria? Talk to me. If we don't work together austria/russia will win Austria is hoping that I'll move against Germany with him which could give us a chance to hit him as he pushes North Hm, I'm thinking I need to sacrifice Bul or move to greece with your support Once I clear out the black sea I can then go back to Bul and support you in This seems like an excellent opportunity for them to do a supported move onto Bul with Alb-Gre to block my escape If you're okay with that, I can move A Bul - Gre with your support and withdraw from Bul for a second. By the way, he can move F Alb - Adr at which point it will become very hard to attack Tri I want to give you sufficient space to get Tunisia or greece maybe but of course I don't want to get overwhelmed here either I'll support the retreat Thanks I guess that turned out fine for me. Just sad that you again didn't do much. You could've easily gotten Tun in Fall, in time for the builds Look -- France is out for you now and Austria is not your friend. I'm just trying to help you here so that you can help me
