Message from England to Germany in
'ruffians':
Paul,
I guess the best is if you support me to Spain(sc) this Spring while I move
IRI-MAO. Then in the fall you get Mar.
About north I do as I told you earlier.

I guess there's a shot at Munich, but you're taking a chance of Germany
slipping into Boh or Gal. I've put in orders that have A War & A Rum
bouncing in Gal to cover your back door, but if you want something
different, let me know.

I think Austria is a LOT less of a threat to you than the possibility of an
English stab.

That's true.

As long as A Sil is the one attacking, I'd have no problem with that move.
I'm going to turn my attention to making sure England gets squat from his
northern maneuvers...
Later,

Deal. A Sil-Boh supported by A Mun. No units following up into Sil.

No problem there! I don't think that Christian will stab me as long as Austria
has a
shot at taking the lion's share of my home dots & building an even bigger
southern
navy as a result.
I may be naive, but I don't think so.

Message from Austria to Russia in 'ruffians':
Cal,
Well, I guess you are right, we can afford to wait a minute on the German
front.
I guess I'd rather you moved Rumania to Bulgaria -- it's the only attack
that is guaranteed to succeed there. I can't see Germany moving to Galicia,
with Munich under attack and all.
We could either try to puch Germany in the Prussia corridor, or Turkey in
the south -- either way we're going to need to co-ordinate, yes?
I guess I'd like to see this:
A Rum -> Bul
A Sev -> Rum
A Mos -> Sev
A War S A Bohemia -> Gal
Stp hold
While I go
a Serbia S A Rum -> Bul
F Greece S F ionian -> Aegean
F ionian -> aegean
A Tyr -> Boh
A Boh -> Gal
That makes Bulgaria a lock for you, I cover the Galician corridor, and then
we push for Silesia in the fall. Slow but steady!
Thoughts?

Message from Austria to Italy in 'ruffians':
Roland,
Could you move the fleet to the GoLyon, to support Spain to hold? Or
through Tunis to NAF? Sooner or later England will try to outflank France.
That would be bad for both of us, yes?

Actually, I guess I can live with this. I'll put the orders in now. The
more we ding Cyrille, the better. Man, I've never seen a player LESS
capable of working in an alliance.

Message from Russia to England in 'ruffians':
Sorry for not writing much, but my enery level is still pretty low.
I don't understand why you are attacking me when Germany is such an obvious
target.
Here's a few points for you to ponder:
1- You've got a perfect chance to attack Germany as you said you wanted to.
2- He's essentially fleetless and cannot defend against you.
3- I'm still viable enough to help out. Take me down (if you can) and you
face Germany alone.
4- If you attack Germany WITH my help you'd likely pick up the lion's share
of his centres, both at home and in France. By attacking me, you stand to
pick up, what? St Pete's and Moscow? That's nuts.
BTW, if Germany has convinced you that Austria is such a threat, remember
that Turkey is still able to do damage and Austria is quite spread out.
It's not as if attacking Germany is going to let Austria sweep the board.
You'll never have a better chance.
I really think you need to take a look at your overall strategy. Let me
know if I can help, or do I just throw everything northward for defense?
Cal
Message from Austria to Italy in 'ruffians':
Roland,
I am sorry to hear that. I don't know how you plan on getting another fleet
in the water. I certainly won't be giving one of my hard won centers up for
nothing! Are you open to the possibility of dislodging the army in Naples
so it can be re-built as a fleet?
I hope you understand that I am not threatening you -- I simply cannot
afford to lose units right now.
I have a thought though -- if you move the fleet to the Gulf of Lyon, I
don't need the army in Piedmont. Would that be an acceptable compromise?
Best,
Chris
Message from Austria to Russia in 'ruffians':
Cal,
Roland is making noises like he want back in the game. How frustrating!
Should I let him take Rome back? I'd hate to pull a unit off the line!

Roland,
I don't get it. I have kept you in this game. I guess I'll just have to
take you out of it.
Chris
Message from Austria to Russia in 'ruffians':
Cal,
Definite change of plans. I have to take the trouble to finish Roland off.
Would you bounce me in Galicia instead of supporting me in?
The Plan for Turkey shouldn't need to change, though!
Thanks,
Chris
Message from Austria to France in 'ruffians':
John,
I can't support Roland any longer in Marsaille. He is going to war with me,
after all I've done for him! ;)
would you fall back to Tunis? Convoy to NAF now and take Tun with the fleet
in the army in the fall? I 'll support you to hold there forever!

How have you kept me in the game?
All you have done is supported Mar, and that is only for your own good, not
mine.
Else you have tried to take my centers all the time.
If you start to REALLY help me, maybe I can change my attitude.

Message from Austria to Italy in 'ruffians':

Dang -- I have to go to work. Look, take rome in the spring, and move the
fleet into the GoL in the fall, ok? I need to concentrate on Turkey!
How does THat sound?

Message from France to Austria in 'ruffians':
OK.
(but I thought this was a fall turn. In which case it is unlikely that I
will have two units with which to force Tunis next spring.)

Of course I don't believe you. However I have entered the orders anyway. It
would, in fact, give me some personal pleasure if *AS A PERSONAL FAVOR TO
ME* if you kept me alive long enough to see Germany eliminated first. The
coming war between E/G will be rather vicious, although I must tell you from
personal experience as Christian's (our England) ally in other games that he
does NOT use very aggressive moves. So use that info accordingly! :)

Your support for my move of A Gas-Mar will be greatly appreciated-- thank
you in
advance!
I also appreciate your moving out of Nth, for obvious reasons.
Next Spring, we might want to consider your allowing my F Kiel-Den.
Then, in the Fall, you could support yourself back in, and I could retreat
the fleet otb. It
would solve our problem with the needless German Fleet!

damn. too bad that didn't work in a spring move, it would have been
devastating. Nevertheless there is time to outguess Germany still for the
fall, plus England will gain two builds minimum this year, which will make
short work of the German position in 1908/09. Sail on, England, Sail on!

Your press is more cutesy than it is pathetic, but only barely. Hardly worthy
of a
player of your stature, I must say.... Paul

he should be! With Russia having built a unit, and England not only up +2
this coming winter, he should re-evaluate just how powerful a minor amount
of press can be. Silence from Germany, Proposition from England, which one
should I take? hmm, a no-brainer.
