I ended up with both Triest and Greece giving me 5 supply centers for the build phase. Austria wasn't active this turn so I was a little conflicted. One hand I was pleased to gain them both, the other I was frustrated that some people had already dropped out.
It was about this time that I decided to start another game, one that was password protected and hopefully less prone to dropouts. See my Closing Curtains game for more information.
After this phase, I decided to build another fleet in Naples and another army in Venice.
Once I'd seen where and what other armies and fleets my opponents had built, I spotted that Turkey had built another fleet in Smyrna. The only reason he'd build another fleet rather than an army, was that he was coming in my direction. He had previously informed me that if I'd moved a fleet into the Eastern Mediterranean or the Aegean sea, it would have been an act of aggression. Now I'm starting to get a bit worried.
I sent a hasty message to Russia that included the following text:
If I'm right and Austria is first to fall, Turkey has either no border with Germany or a very small (1 country) border. With that in mind, we have a few different scenarios:Fortunately, he agreed to my proposal and the attack was on!
Turkey attacks me - I'd rather that not happen, at least not on his grounds. You'd probably play no part in it.
Turkey attacks you - I'm sure you'd rather that not happen. I'd probably not be able to intervene in any way.
We both hit turkey. I can keep my tentative alliance with the western powers for the time being, possibly even coaxing Germany to help us for a supply center. And we'd both benefit if you can keep England off your back. I might be able to help with that.
