All,
My apologies for the delay. I really have no excuse for it; I kind of just forgot to put out the summer press! However, it actually doesn't change the timeline of the game since we have a player out of town, meaning the next deadline was going to be delayed until this coming Tuesday, July 13, at 9 pm eastern anyways. So that's when the deadline for Fall 1995 moves and press will be.
Matt
Press #1:
Poland to Ukraine:
Your back stands safe and will remain so. I appreciate your continued support.
POD moving south at his first opportunity would be wonderful, but your situation is perfectly understandable.
Poland to Russia:
Moving to Sweden confuses me.
La Pologne à la France:
Monarch français, c'est avec une grande joie je me réjouis de ton trône. Malheureusement, votre prédécesseur vous a laissé dans une position difficile. Combats le bon combat, mais je considère dons aux Suisses de l'Allemagne pour la paix.
Je crois que le monarque dernier tour a été un imposteur, que Son Altesse ne parle pas en ces termes. donc je ne m'attendais pas à voir sa terre forces dans le sol allemand.
Et il y avait une question de vin? Wyslemy najlepsze wódki mozna znalezc w Beilorussia.
Poland to Germany:
Appreciate support, but unfortunately the Polish leader decided a wall against Russia (considering his Iranian gains and fleet non-disbandment) was needed. Support this turn would be appreciated again.
CZE is willing to do what is necessary to support you.
Poland to Italy:
No song to me? I'm hurt. I'll send Bielorussian vodka anyway.
Will you help the German Chancellor visit his Swiss relatives? That would be very neighborly.
Poland to the Monarchy:
Cover Norway against a Russian attack, and you shall not ever need to fear an attack from Sweden. And as I'd point out, that plus your gains against Russia will prevent retribution for moving on NUR.
Poland to Turkey:
And the moment is seized! For what exactly?
Press #2:
Messieurs, Les légions assiégées de la France se sont admirablement disposé, contré les menaces de nombreuses armées. Bien que beaucoup d'entre vous ont montré l'agression contre la France, nous pardonner vous et aller de l'avant dans l'esprit de liberté, d'égalité et de fraternité.
Allemagne, votre agressivité vers l'Alsace a été predit - et contré. Si vous m'attaquez, l'Italie profite. Vous finirez par jouer un Allemand Mussolini. Au lieu de cela, attaquer l'Autriche et vous aurez une alliée contre les menaces de l'Ouest tandis que vous dominer l'Europe centrale. Croyez-vous que le Polonais sera votre ami pour plus longtemps que pillage de la Russie? Il n'existe pas de centre d'approvisionnement en Sibérie. En gage de notre sincérité, nous allons présenter l'ordre A SWI S GERMAN A SAX - AUS.
L'Angleterre, je ne t'en veux de la maîtrise des mers, puisque je sais que c'est dans votre intérêt de défendre une France souveraine. Si la France tombe, les Allemands vont conquérir deux villes, les Italiens vont conquérir trois villes, et les Espagnols une.
Portugal, nous avons reçu votre appel à l'aide. Nous ne pouvons plus ignorer les atrocités commises contre votre peuple. France viendra à votre rescousse. Votre étymologie - "Port de la Gaule" - sera restaurée. F MAO - PORTUGAL.
Egypte, pourriez-vous nous faire une grand faveur et prendre Tunis? Ces pirates tunisiens garder harceler navires français. L'Italien et l'Espagnol sont des roseaux faibles; leurs assurances ne vous serviront.
Mario, rappelez-vous ce qui s'est passé la dernière fois qu'un défi sicilienne quelqu'un à une "battle of the wits", à la mort? Montre "The Princess Bride". Votre jeu de devinettes sur le Côte d'Azur avantage seulement le casino. Si tu veux la paix sur votre front occidental pour combattre les hordes musulmanes, retirez-vous de nos côtes et vous avez l'amitié de la France.
Vive la France!
Press #3:
Russia to Britain: Your mentioning the black and blue status of Russia makes me believe you are okay with attacking me. A much more obvious hint would be your move to lapland. I'll note that you are an opportunist. I hope others note that England will attack anything that is mostly defenseless as well. You can prove that you aren't by holding (or even retreating) your unit in Lapland.
Russia to Poland: Peace. I'm going to try to ask for it each season. You don't have to keep up your same path.
Russia to Germany: Let me keep Sweden.
Russia to Ukraine: I'm surprised you didn't utilize your unit in Rostov. You could have used it to support your other unit into Volga.
Russia to Turkey: Thanks for the support. I hope you do well.
Russia to Mario: Thank you Mario! But the princess is in another castle (not France).

ITALIAN PRESS - Summer 1995
Luigi: Hi, Mario!
Mario: Hi, Luigi! Did you hear? Shy Guy has found a clue of Peach!
Luigi: Bene! What clue of Peach is found?
Mario: It is seeming to be a lady's nose-cloth. Shy Guy say it is for Peach.
Luigi: Si, Mario. I know that nose-cloth of Peach. It is smell of flowers and strawberries.
Mario: It is smelli of that no more, Luigi. It is now smell of old feet and Turkish cigarettes!
Luigi: She has been stolen to Turkey!
Mario: Si, or perhaps of France. Shy Guy say the foot smell may be cheese of France, and everyone of Paris smokes the Turkish cigarettes.
Luigi: Then it is good that we moved at France who, it seems, have not a government of order. We shall help Germania to be in Suisse, then move to search the other places of Francia. I shall see if Spagna will work it, too.
Mario: Speaking of Spagna, what is up with Tunisi? You did not send your fleet in there.
Luigi: No, did not you say you needed help for Francia?
Mario: Si, but I did not mean from you. Spagna tried to give Tunisi to you and now you do not even have a fleet that can get in there!
Luigi: Perhaps I mistake, Mario. I have not been il ammariglio for very long. Still, did you not say that we must help Ukraina to be in Rumania? Did you not say that Turkey was not our friend?
Mario: I say Turkey MAY not be our friend. That is not the same.
Luigi: &$%$@! My brother, you must be more clear! Now we have promised of Ukraina. We must not break our honor now.
Mario: Capisce. I shall talk to Ukraina and Germany to let them know of our promises. You shall talk to Spagna and Turkey and Egitto.
Luigi: Sii. Spagna may be in Tunisi if he wish. Turkey may know that we must look for Peach but do not mean to fight. Perhaps a little good, a little bad? We must promise of Ukraina to retake Rumania, but we can stay from Greece and help keep peace in the far east of Mediterraneo?
Mario: What of Egitto?
Luigi: I do not know wat Egitto is plan to do. Army in Algeria? Armies at home going no place. I think probably he trying to force into east of Mediterraneo. I hope he shall tell us that he is not to be attacking Italia, and to be helping in the search for Peach.
Mario: May that be for the best. Ciao, Luigi!
Luigi: Ciao, Mario!
Press #5:
The Monarch henceforth declares a state of WAR with the Kaiser.
The Monarch expresses frustration that he will not translate from the French, but that his moves anticipate a rapproachement in Anglo-Franco relationships.
The Monarch extends a telegraphed support from Norway, into Sweden, to the liberating Polish fleet.
The Monarch expresses his displeasure with the un-announced seizure of Gibraltar and attitude of the Spanish Viceroy to his clear better. There is no Iberian influence upon His Royal Highness's naval operations. The Monarch further wishes Spain to re-assert a mutually beneficial arrangement before the issue is resolved by fleet re-assignment, and asserts that the support of the French fleet is likely a one-time arrangement, but reserves the right to repeat it.
The Monarch is satisfied with his vacation home in Morocco, but if forced to defend it, he will defend it with due purpose.
Press #6:

Turkey to Ukraine- return ROS to Russia and we can have peace |
