Italy and Austria came up with an elaborate plan which would, among other things, to deal with that unit in Silesia. Part of that plan involved letting Italy move into Munich, so that it couldn't "retreat" towards me. The plan also involved them attacking France, which is a lose-lose situation for me, because If they take France, then I'm strangled, and if I make France mad at me, then it will eventually be me keeping him tied up while they chew me to bits...
So I e-mailed France. Told him about the plan, including the exact moves that they would be making. Also mentioned that Italy didn't think he knew what he was doing. I didn't ask for Belgium.
He replied telling me that he was considering a similar agreement, offering me London. He also told me to expect the move into Burgundy, which might turn out to be useful...
After talking to Austria, she expected to lose Warsaw, but she never expected Turkey to take it. She can retreat to Prussia or Livonia. A small part of me is saying Livonia because that gets into his fleshy side, but the more sensible part of me is wanting her to block the retreat. I just sent her a text message telling her to retreat to Prussia. Naughty I know, but she is my ex...
This is my plan for F04, assuming the retreating units kill each other... A Berlin Supports A Kiel - Munich A Denmark Supports F Helgoland Bight - Kiel F Helgoland Bight - Kiel A Kiel - Munich F North Sea - Norway
Hopefully, I can convince Italy to let me do the "Blue Water Lepanto" trick, dislodging him into whatever hole France leaves open. I then ask France to do Bel-Ruh (Bur S), telling him to say that it's a move against me if he gets asked, adn leaving Italy with no hole. Just a shame for him that the Swiss remained neutral. ;-) It's the only way I can make a gain this turn, although I won't be able to build. But that's not a problem, because I will have a fleet in Kiel (which would've been my build if I ever got the chance to), letting me do Nwy-Swe (Den S) then Kie-BAL (Swe S).
Prussia or Livonia ?

Any holes in my plan?
