(austria)
currently there is no need to stop an austrian solo as it is not going to happen. austria is currently in wars with all other people on the board. they have basically no expansion possibilities, ansd it seems like they are just trying to build a stalemate line. france howevcer is going for the solo, and could get it. a combined austrian english attack could possibly defeat them, though not as it is now. englanf is not attacking france, which is allowing them the freedom to attack austria. instead of attacking france, they are instead attacking austria, further weakening a power which has already been spread thin. if england continues to work with france, there is almost no chance that they will not get the win. the fact of the matter in this situation is that france is going fir a solo, otherwise they would not be attacking austria and would instead just be building up a stalemate line. austria currently seems like the most committed party to the draw. the drawq was going tgo happen after italy was eliminated. if the other parties had truly wanted a draw, they would leavre austria alone and just protect their borders so that austria could defeat turkey. there is also the fasct that austria was the first group to vote for a draw.
proof that france is going for the win are in their moves. the moves are as follows:
The fleet at Brest hold.
The army at Munich move to Tyrolia. (fail) (dislodged)
The army at Rome move to Venice. (fail)
The army at Venice move to Trieste. (fail)
The fleet at Marseilles move to Piedmont.
The army at Paris move to Picardy.
The fleet at Holland support hold to Kiel.
The army at Burgundy support hold to Munich. (fail)
The army at Kiel support hold to Munich. (fail)
The army at Ruhr support hold to Munich. (fail)
The fleet at Naples support hold to Ionian Sea.
The fleet at Ionian Sea support move to Aegean Sea from Eastern Mediterranean.
The fleet at Adriatic Sea support move to Venice from Trieste. (fail)
the support of turkeys fleet would not make any sense. the explanation nthat france provided is, in one word, unrealistic. i have already explained why an austrian solo is basically impossible. the Adriatic Sea movwe was also a misorder. supporting austria into venice would not only not work, as you cam,t support people into your own territories. it also would not make sense with their other moves. what france meant to do there was to support venice to austria. that makes sense with their move out of munich, to cut off tyrolian support, and with their move to trieste.
@england, France is going for the solo. no matter what happens, you will not be the one to achieve it. and you will gain more from a draw. you can only gain 4 territories from Austria at most without french support: which there has been no indication that they will be willing to provide it. you will gain less points from being at 11 while france solos (that is in the best case scenario) than if there was a 3 way draw. you will also only get a survive which is worse than a draw on your record. you should stop attacking Austria and should instead focus on stopping the real threat. a stalemate line has been built. Austria is not going to get the solo. the only person who could get it is France, that's only if you help them though.
