body {word-wrap: break-word; background-color:#ffffff;}Hey guys,
In my opinion this is going to turn into an Italian solo attempt rather than an I/T. I've done this before as Italy - check out DC 388. I was able to end the game quickly, as no one trusted each other enough to ally against me.
Alfred's already got a strong position against Turkey, so I don't see him not attacking East when he can. All he needs us to do is stay out if his way until the end-game.

Gentlemen
Take note of the powerful position that Turkey and Italy are generating in this game. Before too long we will have to put aside our petty squabbles and collaborate to stop them running away with the game. Italy has been yanking everyone chains right from the start of the game and is accelerating towards a possible solo. I know it is only 1902, but I have never seen a game where Italy hits 7 in 2 years without going on to win the game.
We must do all that we can to stop a T-I alliance running away with this. Use all your skills to disrupt them. Russia- you have to turn south or they will blow you away. Germany- whatever Italy may be saying, YOU have to be his next target.

Sorry guys, I went on a work field trip and didn't bring my own computer. This certainly shouldn't happen again.
Austria takes it on the chin this year, to the benefit of Italy and Turkey. Jason you had one retreat from Greece, and the only option was Albania. Since you are disbanding anyhow, I just did it for you.
Winter adjustments are next, from Italy, Turkey and Austria. Let's make it for Wednesday evening, 18:00 Mountain time.
Maps are attached. Adjustments and Status are at the bottom of the adjudication.
Cheers, apologies again for the lateness,
Warren
