I decided to use my new fleets to sail round the coast of Italy so as to make better coordinated attacks later on. But in the mean time, he's attacked me and pushed me out of the Ionian sea - a really nice strategic location. I'm retreating back to the Tyrhenian sea but I'm still buggered. Now he can either get into Tunisia or if I save Tunisia, he'll sail right past me and my soft underbelly will be exposed. To make things worse, England's fleet sailed away. I need that to help get him out of Tunis if he get's in.
And I received my response from Russia:
Well, I had hoped to push your army in Tyrolia back before the start of this turn, but we can negotiate stalemate lines once your Turkish offensive is underway and I've driven the English off of the continent.As I'd hoped, he's more amenable to the stab now than when I first heard from him. I need Russia to act FAST. Turkey is all up in my space now and I'm having trouble making any progress.
I'm agreeable to everything you requested, and am grateful you have not asked me to personally embed the dagger of betrayal in the back of my old ally. However, maybe it's the mushrooms that have expanded (or degraded) my consciousness, but I'm growing less squeamish about such things all the time. In fact, do you see how vulnerable Ankara looks down there? Well, if a strike like that would be beneficial I am now prepared to deliver.
I do wish you would try to negotiate a peaceful settlement with Germany and tell the Prime Minister he's on his own, but all I ask is that your efforts in that theater be halfhearted and not particularly successful. Now, as we approach the end, are we talking two-way draw or is that just "crazy talk"?
