Yes! Schezo ilu for doing that. Now we just have to see how we're going to work that out. I feel so sorry for Doll now; he sounds so defeated in-thread.  :ohdear:

I can't claim to be an expert in what's happening on the left; the West looks like a mess to me, and I haven't been communicating with anyone over there.  :V So do what you think is best.

I haven't in'd in mafia because I'm probably going to take some time off to concentrate on my exams and such, seeing as end-of-term is coming up pretty soon.   :colonveeplusalpha: I'll be spectating though.  :3

Tsk tsk tsk.  ;)
Well, technically there's still a month till exams, but I've been lazy and I need to do a reread of all the material I missed/skimmed over.  :V

What are your relations with England, if I may ask? But yeah, seeing as it will take him at least two turns to actually do anything to Spain's fleet, I think you should be relatively safe. Barring a pxum gambit. PXXXXXXXX!

Actually, what are you planning to do with your western fleet/armies anyway, seeing as you're moving them further west? Unless you're killing off the last of France?

Ah, I see. That's a pretty aggressive move, but it has the advantage of being not completely anti-England because your fleet can't really go anywhere else. Hmm, maybe you could work something out with Spain, I dunno. France is a matter of who cleans him out first.

Speaking of which, have you been talking to Spain/France/Italy or have they proved to be unfaithful backstabbers?  :3

lol France. I still remember when he first messaged me back in the beginning of the game with grand plans to invade Italy. But he never got past Piedmont and that was that.

Italy's army build means I'm probably going to have to keep an eye on the Tyrolia/Bohemia border. I have no idea where Italy is trying to go now, but if I were to guess it would be towards you or me.

PXXX never replied to my messages of glory, so I don't know what's it like to deal with him! PXXXXXXXXX!  :V

Also, I'd already nyaned for 1867.0 seconds before I clicked on the link. Now I have two windows open.  :3

Nyan nya nyannyan nyan nyan nyu nyan myu nyan nya~

France never even gave me a chance to help him! Not that I necessarily wouldn't have left him to dry against the Italians anyway.  :3

What exactly do you mean by pulling back? I mean, I assume you'll have a least one unit in the vicinity for defense (Ruhr)...eh, I should probably talk to Italy to see if I can see what he's planning. I suppose it's possible he's heading west, but it's more likely he's heading east towards our borders. :<
And yeah, your line of thought about dealing with PX matches up with mine. :V

All you kittens can go die in a fire. All of you! >:(

Hmm, if Italy attacks I can probably donate a unit or two to help with a joint defense, so there's that. I can also play WIFOM with his intentions, maybe tell him how much Spain wants to backstab him. :D

But see, dogs don't hug cats; they chase them up trees.   :3

Wait, this turn? Hmm, I was planning on using most of my troops to invade Turkey this turn, so I probably won't have many units to spare. I could probably help support a unit in Tyrolia or something though.

I'm going to tell him I can probably afford to support a unit in Tyrolia in defense, but not much more than that. Which is mostly true.

Alright. Alright.

Germany's a bit out of reach for me (most of my units are attacking Turkey/watching borders lol), so there's not really anything I can do. You need to make sure that Warsaw, Prussia, and Moscow are defending each other so that Germany has less of a chance to force a takeover. The sad thing is that I think Germany can force a takeover of Prussia no matter what, so eh. An option is moving your Moscow army to Livonia, but the downside is that then support can be cut by Norway's fleets. As for the army in Silesia, I'm assuming it's going to be attacking Warsaw, so I can't cut any support in that direction. Your best bet is probably asking Norway for help with Germany; he has the troops in the right places to make things happen.

So yeah, about Turkey. This is what has to happen. Your fleet in Sevastopol will attack the Black Sea, cutting any support. Then we launch a 3-pronged attack on Bulgaria with my two units in Serbia and Greece and your unit in Rumania. Two of them have to support while one of them attacks - this will guarantee we take the territory. I volunteer my army in Serbia, but if you want you can volunteer your Rumania fleet; that's fine with me as well. Otherwise, your orders down there will be something like F Sevastopol to Black Sea, F Rumania support A Serbia to Bulgaria. We can continue from there, I think.

Yeah, the support unit has to be adjacent to the target of the supported unit. Basically that means St. Petersburg is safe for this turn - you can use Moscow to support Warsaw or something instead.

How are you planning on carrying out Operation Barbarossa? Two armies attack Prussia and the third attacks Warsaw to cut support, right? Schezo is asking me for help and I'm going to be as helpful as I can without actually doing anything.

Alright, so the southeast is settled then for this turn.

The thing about the Budapest army attacking Galicia is that I don't think it will stop the unit in Galicia from attacking anyway. I could always do it for a try though. My only worry is that Italy will try to worm his way up with that army of his, but I guess I'll see next turn. My worry is that Italy and Germany might have some secret alliance, but I don't think it's worth worrying about yet (because if they actually do I'm screwed anyways, so).

Are you so sure Norway is allied with Germany? Why did he move his troops away from you towards Germany then? ???

Just confirming that yeah, there's nothing I can do. See, I have the perfect excuse!  :V

I'm probably going to mindlessly throw the Budapest army at Galicia. Not that that changes anything.  :3

Talk to me Yono where are youuuuuuuuuu?

Ugh, I'm basically in no position to attack Italy or Germany right now - it's mostly defense while I attack Turkey because there's no way I can fight multiple fronts. Maybe if I take one of Turkey's supply centers I can build a fleet for an Italian invasion, but even then it's still risky because I'm pretty sure Italy is allied with Spain and Spain has some good naval power. Now that I know this I'm probably going to move my Budapest army to Vienna instead, because I'm pretty sure Italy is coming up that way.

Basically this is a tight fix.  :colonveeplusalpha:

Actually, I'm probably going to move Budapest to Vienna instead - it'll be more useful if Italy suddenly charges up the corridor.  :3 Schezo has also warned me of a Germany x Italy OTP I'M KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU TWO.

Aren't you going to be moving your Western units back to defend? I don't think Serp [i]can [/i]screw you.

I'm not sure why she would move a troop to Galicia if she was going to attack Norway. >_>
So yeah, quite suspect. Not to mention an attack on Norway would be pretty much destined to fail seeing as she has only one fleet in the area.

Oh yeah, that SC. :V I forgot for a moment, derp.

I thought Spain was working with Italy? He said as much in the thread.

Hmm, well I guess that would work if you think you can take it in the fall. I'm not sure what Norway is up to, but he's definitely an important wild card to keep in consideration.

Alright, I'll attack Galicia anyway. If Italy moves up I can always move back to defend.

PXXXXXXXX!

It's like WWI all over again! :V

By the way, the Grand Archduke of Russia is thinking about counterattacking you at Silesia. :3 Just a thought.

And I've changed my plans to attack Galicia again.  :V

[spoiler](There's always the option of teaming up with Russia to take out Serp. :P)[/spoiler]

Acted out the scenario in jDip because I wasn't 100% sure.

Actually, if he attacked Silesia from Warsaw he could cut the support to your fleet, stopping the attack in its tracks.

Hmm...now what if you did the attack the other way? I guess that would just switch supply centers, hmm.

Wait, so do you want me to encourage him attacking Silesia? I can do that, but make sure you want it first.

Don't forget that he could also order Moscow into Warsaw, leaving Warsaw empty.

Ah, k. I'll just waffle along as usual then.  He said he was thinking about holding out till the fall somehow, so I won't advise him otherwise. :3

...You realize you can still change your order to F Rumania Support A Serbia to Bulgaria right?

If you do what you did just now, we're going to be in a literal stalemate, and basically none of us will be able to do anything.

Tell me if you're going to change it or keep it that way.
