Maybe he will and maybe he won't. But the German forces are not the best positioned to make that claim without ceding a lot of territory.

Now it is my turn to be kicking myself for the ultra conservative moves.

France, out of the frying pan into the fire?
Russia please consider the retreat to ska.
England, bold choice for the fleet in the channel.

Figured you'd do that, Italy. I like I/G long term, and it lets you break your southern stalemate, so I'm cool with it as long as there are no more advances and you'll give it back willingly when I need it.

Yes, Skaggerak is too tempting. Either I come away with Norway or with Edinburgh, since England's decided to be useless to me.

Well no, England is about to build.

Yes, so Norway it will likely be...

unless England wants to recognize that he's got a problem to deal with and support me into Sweden. That could work, of course.

And how do you intend to get Norway with me defending it?

England does not have a problem. We are on the same page, and can continue to work together as we have up to now!

Yeah!

I hope so.

All I know is that an England who only builds fleet cannot hope for any thing better than a three way draw. An England with the desire to achieve things needs armies. So I fully expect this England to build a fleet and seek comfort in Germany's thrall.

Italy I like the capture of Munich. As a fellow eastsider it is great to see you on the other side of the line. Adriatic Sea brothers for life. Hold fast. Do not give the sweet-talking German back any ground without paying a heavy price.

@Jenga, that's exactly what you would want right? Italy to "pay a heavy price"?

Was my modifier dangling? If it was, I apologize. But the paying a heavy price clause was referring to Germany. Sorry for any confusion.

Why don't you love me, Jenga? It's not very wise on your part.

The state of Jefferson and Cascadia have always been at war?

Wisdom has never been my long suit. And I do love you ghug; you are my Turkish brother. You just need a little bop on the nose occasionally.

You should know by now that Cascadia always wins.

Can we just get rid of ART? They all suck and everyone else is cool.

Of course Ghug, as soon as I take an Austrian center, I'll cede Munich back to its rightful owner. It was only necessary to gain the upper hand against Austria and break this stalemate. As a sign of good faith between us, I trust you'll be building a fleet this turn?

@Manwe, how can I know you'll give back the center?

You can be sure he wont

There is no way that ghug builds a fleet. But that is nice of you to ask. Dan, stop claiming to be Germany. Because even if you are Germany, ghug is already Germany, so your diplomacy does not count. You can be Turkey though Dan. No one else is claiming to be Turkey, well except ghug, but he is already Germany.

Also, Manwe, did I sleep with your sister or something? Wrong you in another life? You have been attacking me since square one; where did our relationship go so wrong?

Y'know, I'm very interested to see how many of the people posting in this thread are actually countries in the game. My guess is 0.

Hang on, 1 if you include me.

@Jenga, ugh you are right. Can I be Italy?

Bump

Bump for real, important point in the game and there is no diplomacimg!

A fleet in Liverpool. Oh my goodness. I don't even know where to start. Germany sure chose his lackey well.

Follow up. How has Germany already entered orders if ghug has not been on site yet. The plot gets muddled... Dan, vindication?

:O Turkey here. Russia where you at?
