Hello Russia! I'm highly interested in working with you. As Austria I strongly believe in the necessity of acquiring a strong early alliance, and who better than a partner who can help me keep down Turkey :) The first clear point between us is dependent on how we want to arrange the balkans, and of course, the typical sore point between us in Galicia. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on both of those. I'd much rather neither of us worry the other about Galicia, it makes no sense to even feign a fight. The single most important thing that Italy, Russia, and Austria can do for their future success on a board, in my opinion, is not have a Turkey extant. If the three of us work together and coordinate it properly, Turkey will fall fast. Turkey hasn't said anything to me just yet So what moves are you planning? Seems tough to go hard against turkey so early As long as you, me, and Italy all go in and coordinate, Turkey won't be able to stand up to us. I'm trying to trick Turkey to let me into the black sea. As austria, I am slightly worried that any alliance that includes us 3 will result in me being the odd man out once Turkey has been removed. Fwiw, I don't plan on that at all. Once we're done with Turkey, you can run in on Germany, I can run in on Scandinavia and England and Italy can run in on France, then we call a three-way draw. Bing bang boom. Fair enough, let me know if you manage to let turkey into BLA So, Galicia, huh? I was expecting you to move there yourself. You seemed very flippant about bouncing there and I was worried that you weren't going to keep your word. Now I look like a backstabber :/ sorry Hey, I'm gonna cover my shit so I won't actually lose anything. Long as you move back out, we're cool. You don't have to worry about it All good thus far? Anything we need to check up on? I'd appreciate support into Bulgaria if you can spare it, but if not that's cool. Bit busy rn for this weekend, I should be able to get orders in but my diplomacy will suffer No problem at all. So, what shall we do here?
