We are ever so far apart, but let's keep in touch ya (especially if you want to head Russia's way~~) Sure, I think it would be great to keep in touch Great ~~ sounds good Hey England, looks like I'll be pitted against Russia for the game so if you want to work together that would be awesome I'll definitely see what I can do -- with Russia getting into Sweden for free, that's not good for either of us Yeah, did you talk to germany or are they just away? I've heard from them, I think they just weren't used to the interface or something Hm, alright. Let's hope they make up for it then Do you have any plans to go for Stp? I probably will, tho I think sweden'll come first Depends on pressure of germany but taking nwy will put you adjacent to stp, forcing his hand Yea, for sure wow both you and france are off to great starts Do you know what france is planning to do? Im really not too sure, the Brest build has me kinda nervous tbh F did have three builds. I can see why F would notwant to waste it and they kind of don't have anywhere to go but through Germany, Italy or you Best to convince them that Germany is the right choice given the prominence of Russia & Austria That's the plan yea -- we'll see how it goes anyways How are things on your end of the continent? Seems russia & austria are pretty close. I'm hoping austria will get uncomfortable being so open to a russia stab at least or their alliance falls apart. Now the question is if that happens before or after I get waltzed over Italy doesn't seem too competent. Not sure. Yea lol Russia's looking kinda scary to be honest Their board setup is on point atm. They may have some weakness if you can get 3 fleets to Stp but that's about it Maybe if germany wakes up Tbh, I'm not sure Austria should allow Russia to gain more ground. me and France should be able to hold them in north if France doesn't end up stabbing me at least, but they could definitely get out of control if Austria slips up ya The way it's looking, we're going to have to work together against France. What makes you say that? Well, F wins when they get 16 centers. They will get +1 from italy, that is 12. Then Mun, Tyr are fairly easy. 14. You see where I'm getting at? ah it's 18 actually. Wait, isn't it 18? yeah, sorry I'm not saying it's an immediate thing, but something to keep in mind. For sure 👍 Alright, I'm going for Sev. You can take War but after we should strategize what to do with france Ok, yea It seems F is getting ready for moving into England proper. Yes, I am building defensively Ok great I'm trying to pick up the last scraps of Austria but from then on it's going to be tough fighting Good job on the defense of the channel so far!  I'm tying down F's fleet mostly in the Mediterranean Yep, the going's good -- do you need any support into sev or do you have that all covered? I'm good, thanks. Alright 👍 I'll probably swing by Gal next year for support on Vie. I'm not sure if A is going to ally with F. Ok, that sounds reasonable to me -- if we could DMZ ukr though, I'd appreciate that Sure, that's fine with me. Thanks 👍 Anyways, what do you think of drawing once Austria and Russia are gone -- I don't think anyone else can get eliminated before the game ends in 1910 We really aught to get rid of Russia soon if we want to make sure they can't sneak their way into the final draw in 1910 Sure, yeah I'll support you in then? Alright, I've got Gal standing by I'm so confused -- it's not like you have any real chance of eliminating me at this point Yeah, I wasn't convinced you would support my move because we're still fighting for most centers Well anyways, now we really have to get rid of the Russian -- I'll support you in? And you can support yourself in too if you want to be safe I guess Though I have absolutely zero reason to stab you at this point lol Ok, I'll just take war -- don't tap sil and we'll be good -- let me know if you received this ok ? Heya Sure let's do that.
