Oh, it'd be great if you could confirm that you're not going for Belgium, though.

I am not.

Kind of ironic that Turkey is wanting to boost Austria and Italy in a grand anti-Russian alliance that will net him one center and strong enemies if he succeeds.

Austria never has an incentive to see Turkey surivive, and that won't change now that you have a war on your northern flank as well.

Meme is trying to undermine me. He's probably Italy.

If Italy shows himself as an enemy for Austria in the long run, then there's absolutely incentive to work with Turkey.

Also I never said I wanted to boost Italy, so I don't know where you're getting that from. How do you figure Italy can fit into a solely anti-Russian alliance?

Ghug, I'm Italy.

I think you're lying.

He is. I'm Italy.

Who are you attacking, bo?

Of those I could be attacking, who do you want me to be attacking?

Well, whoever Italy is, I'm a little surprised at the lack of discussion of a winter green. however, given that Austria is Turkey's natural enemy, peppermint seems more my speed.

Obviously, there's no juggernaut, so keep that in mind Italy. Of course, if I lose, you'll have to deal with Turkish fleets pushing into the Ionian.

Wtf is a natural enemy?

I believe by natural enemy Og means that Austria does not solo with Turkey still standing and vice versa. More than any other combination of two countries the existence of one means the other did not win the game.

If I am mistaken, I apologize.

Sorry for not speaking up sooner, but Italy - wtf are you doing to me in Austria? The best way for Italy to ensure he loses the game is to attack Austria in year 1. So we'll both lose, but you're going down with me. Or make for Munich - that's more tolerable.

"He is. I'm Italy."

#oversimplification

Omg, you people act like you've never seen Italy send his army in Venice to help combat Russia in the upper balkans before. Sly pups, I'm tryna help yo ass.

Pups? He's an imposter. I'm the real Austria. I can prove it my telling you my moves this year.

Vie S Alb M Trieste
Alb M Trieste
Serbia S ??? M Rumania

Lol M

If you're really moving to Trieste with support, Italy should bounce you there so that you can have Alb available to move on Gre.

If you stab me Italy, I'm throwing in with whoever wants to attack you, whether that is France, Germany, or Turkey. You'll regret it.

@leon1122 #fakeplayer

I'm not a fake player. I was just trying to trick you guys, and it worked.

See? No one attacked me this phase.

@England - Can you support me into Belgium next phase?

Well, it isn't even about soloing, it's about the fact that Austria and Turkey clash almost immediately. Now we have a bohemian crusher going forward. Unfortunate that turkey isn't getting any pressure from anyone. Austria, who donyou think is next after Sevastopol falls. Is it time to let Turkey have Romania and see how you do with armies in every direction?

Or you could let me into Galicia to deal with turkey while you deal with italy.

@GER - I appreciate letting me into Belgium. I imagine I'll be able to return the favor quickly for you. I can force ENG to disband that army, and have no problems giving up Belgium to you this year - I know you've got a weird Italian situation going on.

@ENG - I'm going to force you to disband that army. So long as you don't build a fleet in Lvp, all will be forgotten - water under the bridge. I don't think you can get very far moving against me, and we have much more to gain by working together.

@ITA - I like it. Keep being weird. You won't be bothered by me.

Thoughts on my builds? I'm thinking army/fleet to keep anyone from being too pissed off, but I'm open to arguments.

There were multiple "Austrias" who claimed they would move back to Trieste with support, all of them were lying.
