After trading some interesting messages with both the Italians and the Russians, I've had to spin some very delicate tall tales. Russia, quite astutely realized that after Germany falls, I will only have 1 of 2 options to move next; either towards Italy or Russia. Germany is on the brink of collapse and he's worried that he's my next target.
I asked for his help into Munich (which he helped with) and into the Helgoland sea (which he was unable to help with) with the message sent to him that he would be the first country to actually send me active help, thereby confirming our relationship. He agreed and after the results came in, he sent me an angry message asking me what my plans are moving into the Norwegian sea. To him, it's almost an act of war. I have no reason to go north unless it's to attack him. I sent him the best BS I could come up with and will help him into Kiel next turn in the hopes that it will buy me a little more time before I make my move.
I think Italy is quite enjoying himself. I know he's getting frantic messages from Russia and calmer ones from myself, trying to reassure him that I'm no threat.
Honestly, Turkey and Austria are causing Russia and Italy enough grief to hold them off from conspiring against me.
Next turn, I'll be able to help Russia, hold Munich and march into Holland, thereby giving me an extra 2 supply centers. Germany will be non-existent and I'll be knocking on Russia's door.
Knock Knock Mike!
