From: The Czar of Russia
   That's it, I'm done. You want my supply centers, you greedy,
   violent savages? Then take them. I can no longer do
   anything to stop you. March onto  the streets of my once
   proud cities- and sieze them-Take them from a man who used
   his forces only to attempt to develop peace in this land.
   Take them from a man who tried as hard as he could to
   broker out a peaceful resolution to this conflict, but did
   you listen? NO! Well, I'll tell you what. The Russian
   Armies will go down fighting. We will stand strong, we will
   be brave, and you will have to pry our centers from our
   Cold, dead hands, and in 60 years, when people look back on
   this war, and the atrocities you made against the Russian
   people, people will look back on me with pride, but you
   with scorn. Ladies and Gentlemen, may god have mercy on
   your souls.

   Dear Uncle Bertie,
   Progress!
  Â
As discussed no northern fleets for me. Â Would be pleased to

   IRISH INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT CLOUDS VIEW OF CONTINENT
   By Gregory Mankins
  Â
LONDON – LOYALISTS claims to the contrary aside, Ireland is
closer than ever to secession from the United Kingdom.
Conscriptions for the Scandinavian campaign have emptied the
fields.  From the public houses to the football pitches, “Irish
Republic†propaganda and Rebel songs are everywhere.
  Â
Though the northern counties of Ulster have a softer stance on
the issue of Ireland’s continued union with Great Britain,
Belfast was awash with potentially violent gangs of hooligans
for days in preparation for the match.  England’s convincing 3
to 1 victory this Saturday has done little to ameliorate the
angst felt by the Irish across the island. Â Much has been made
of the fact that though the officials were Welsh, they were
Protestant.
  Â
Thursday’s St. Patrick’s day masses promise to provide at least
a brief respite from angry mobs assembling outside Dublin
Castle. Â However, these same masses are feared to also provide
informal recruiting grounds to the rebel cause.
  Â
Will troubles in Ireland prove to distract His Majesty from
Continental influence? Â Some experts believe they already have.
  Â
  Â
  Â
   FRENCH FORCES SEAL THE DEMISE OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE.
   TSARIST MISMANAGEMENT OF THE CRIMEAN DEFENSE COMBINED WITH
   AUSTRIAN COMPLIANCE TO THE WISHES OF THE SULTAN HAS
   PRODUCED OTTOMAN HEGEMONY IN SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE.

Dear Uncle Bertie,
Thank you or you much needed support in helping our cousins in Belgium be freed from the yoke of French tyranny!
They and indeed I will be in your gratitude for as long as the German Flag flies over the Mannekin Pis..
Certainly the German people are delighted in becoming a partner with the the Great British people and do pledge not to build any navies.
With this in mind, let us press on on all fronts firstly to eliminate the French, and then to see what possibilities lie before us.
Yours in trust,
Willie

ENGLAND REVOLTS OVER REVOLTING SCANDINAVIAN FOOD.
  Â
-- Oslo, Norway
   The English army is in disarray over the latest food
   "contamination" scare in Finland.  Originally thought to be
   rancid meat they were being served, due to the smell of the
   Mess Hall, it was eventually discovered that the odors were
   wafting over the border from the unwashed armies in St.
   Petersburgh.
   The English High Command ordered an immediate invasion of
   the Northern Russian territory, and subsequently ordered
   that the "post-victory Gatorade bath" be given to the
   captured Russian troops.  "They need SOMETHING to quench
   that horrendous odor!"
  Â
Austria -> France: Your army is away from my borders, and I
expect it to stay away. Â Boh will not follow, but it will de
doing its best to keep you away from Austrian soil.Â
Austria -> Turkey: May our peace be long-lasting and
prosperous. Â Shall we coordinate our Russian attack?
  Â
Wow, I don’t remember pissing in everyone’s cornflakes at our
last breakfast meeting of heads of state ... but there are a
lot of things I don’t remember from the night before that
breakfast. Â Does anyone know the name of the strumpet in the
red dress that I dallied with?
    Â
Have I annoyed everyone? Â If so, not sorry (I am the French you
know), but if anyone wants to wheel and deal I’ll be the guy in
the corner trying to decide which units to keep on the board
and which ones go to oblivion.

C’est la guerre...

DIPYCORP PRESS RELEASES
Repeat Of Spring Press:
     Austria -> Turkey:
   I need to remove France from my border.  I hope we can
   continue living in Peace.
   Austria -> Russia:
   Your move to Gal is understandable, but I hope only in
   retaliation for my previous move there.  I have retreated.
   I hope you follow suit this turn.  I will not attack in the
   Spring, so I hope we can leave it empty.
   Austria -> Italy:
   I've got your back.  As long as we both fight France, we
   should work well together.
   King Edward-
   The Russian people's thanks knows no bounds for your
   understanding of our plight. We are delighted that you see
   how we, the russian people only want what is best for this
   continent. To this extent, we have removed our army from
   Austrian territory, although we were not aware that the
   austrians considered it theirs.
   -Your Friend, the Tsar of Russia
   Emperor Franz Joseph-
   We, the Russian people, were not aware you clung so
   perilously to Galicia, indeed, we were not aware of your
   claim to it. However, we now recognize said claim, and have
   withdrawn our army. The Russian people are not your enemy,
   Emperor, but your friend.
   -Tsar Nicholas II of Russia
   BAVARIA TO BREAK WITH HOHENZOLLERNS, UNITE WITH HAPSBURGS,
   ORLEANS
   By GEORG SCHMID
   MUNICH — Mere months after the ousting of French troops
   from the Hofbrauhaus, another group of foreigners are
   making news in the Bavarian Capital.  For the last three
   nights the Nymphemburg Palace has hosted emissaries from
   the Austrian monarch in secret conversations with key
   members of the Wittelsbach Dynasty and Bavarian Parliament.
   Also rumored to be among the delegation was a
   representative from the French king.  It has become
   increasingly apparent that the Prussian Kaiser’s hold on
   the Kingdom of Bavaria is taking a more abusive and
   usurious direction since the insane King Ludwig II pledged
   loyalty to the new pan-German Empire not three decades past
   (a movement never intended to include Austrians).
   The return to alliance with Austria (and the newly restored
   Orleans dynasty) makes perfect sense.  First, Austria has a
   long history of friendship with Bavaria, but not with
   Prussia.  Second, the Catholic Faith binds the countries in
   calling and identity.  Third, France and Austria have the
   military capability to liberate the Free State, and Bavaria
   has the wealth to make it worth their effort.  French
   support of an Austrian attack is virtually guaranteed
   success.
   Further, with the Prussian emperor so concerned with costly
   expeditions to the Northwest, there is little he could do
   to win back either the Wittelsbachs or the Bavarian
   territory from an Austrian-French occupation.
     Austria Surrounded.  Italians, needing additional
     forces to defeat the French, threaten Trieste.  A
     French army in Bohemia is on the doorstep of Vienna.
     Russians in Galicia near Budapest.  Turkish forces have
     secured key positions on the Eastern Front (Serbia is
     suddenly abandoned and vulnerable) and will soon be
     pouring out into the Mediterranean.  The lack of
     diplomatic contact between the Ottoman Sultan and the
     German Kaiser or English King signals that the Turkish
     conquest of Russia will occur through Austria.
   Key recommendations:
   Rethink the Eastern strategy.  A Russian attack from
   Galicia into Rumania is likely and if combined by support
   from Budapest and a move toward Bulgaria by the navy in
   Greece would guarantee either expulsion of the Turk from
   Sevastopol or Rumania.  Limiting Ottoman power now is your
   only hope for long term containment.
   or
   Take Trieste.  The Italians are in no position to defend
   themselves, nor are the French or Germans able to launch
   any kind of effectual campaign.  The Italians are likely to
   attempt another move toward Piedmont to advance their
   Western border, with their naval advantage encouraging a
   campaign deep into Iberia.
  Â
   To the King of Prussia, His Imperial and Royal Majesty,
   Kaiser Wilhelm II:
   From the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
   Ireland, His Royal Highness Edward VII
   Dear William,
   Your congratulations and acceptance of our opinions on
   Europe’s future are our great sense of joy!  We do insist
   on making clear that it is not a surrogate we seek on the
   Continent, but a partner.  As we stated before, your
   influence in the Low Countries is natural, considerable,
   and proper.  We are directing our navies to support your
   navy from the Netherlands to Belgium.  Consider this our
   pledge of good faith.  This cooperation would be cemented
   by your agreement to build no more navies.  We will respect
   your territorial waters as an enduring testimony of our
   fraternity and respect.
   Your Own Uncle and Your Friend, Bertie

It is now after Game year 1902! so I will no longer go out of
my way to get a substitute player if a turn is missed. The GM
will when possible give a 24 hour warning before NMR is
declared. The GM reserves the right to issue an NMR without
giving any warning if circumstances warrant.

ENGINEERED PRESS RELEASES
-------------------------
Austria -> Turkey:
I need to remove France from my border. I hope we can
continue living in Peace.
Austria -> Russia:
Your move to Gal is understandable, but I hope only in
retaliation for my previous move there. I have retreated.
I hope you follow suit this turn. I will not attack in the
Spring, so I hope we can leave it empty.
Austria -> Italy:
I've got your back. As long as we both fight France, we
should work well together.
King Edward-
The Russian people's thanks knows no bounds for your
understanding of our plight. We are delighted that you see
how we, the russian people only want what is best for this
continent. To this extent, we have removed our army from
Austrian territory, although we were not aware that the
austrians considered it theirs.
-Your Friend, the Tsar of Russia
Emperor Franz Joseph-
We, the Russian people, were not aware you clung so
perilously to Galicia, indeed, we were not aware of your
claim to it. However, we now recognize said claim, and have
withdrawn our army. The Russian people are not your enemy,
Emperor, but your friend.
-Tsar Nicholas II of Russia
BAVARIA TO BREAK WITH HOHENZOLLERNS, UNITE WITH HAPSBURGS,
ORLEANS
By GEORG SCHMID
MUNICH — Mere months after the ousting of French troops from
the Hofbrauhaus, another group of foreigners are making news in
the Bavarian Capital. For the last three nights the
Nymphemburg Palace has hosted emissaries from the Austrian
monarch in secret conversations with key members of the
Wittelsbach Dynasty and Bavarian Parliament. Also rumored to
be among the delegation was a representative from the French
king. It has become increasingly apparent that the Prussian
Kaiser’s hold on the Kingdom of Bavaria is taking a more
abusive and usurious direction since the insane King Ludwig II
pledged loyalty to the new pan-German Empire not three decades
past (a movement never intended to include Austrians).
The return to alliance with Austria (and the newly restored
Orleans dynasty) makes perfect sense. First, Austria has a
long history of friendship with Bavaria, but not with Prussia.
Second, the Catholic Faith binds the countries in calling and
identity. Third, France and Austria have the military
capability to liberate the Free State, and Bavaria has the
wealth to make it worth their effort. French support of an
Austrian attack is virtually guaranteed success.
Further, with the Prussian emperor so concerned with costly
expeditions to the Northwest, there is little he could do to
win back either the Wittelsbachs or the Bavarian territory from
an Austrian-French occupation.
Austria Surrounded. Italians, needing additional forces to
defeat the French, threaten Trieste. A French army in Bohemia
is on the doorstep of Vienna. Russians in Galicia near
Budapest. Turkish forces have secured key positions on the
Eastern Front (Serbia is suddenly abandoned and vulnerable) and
will soon be pouring out into the Mediterranean. The lack of
diplomatic contact between the Ottoman Sultan and the German
Kaiser or English King signals that the Turkish conquest of
Russia will occur through Austria.
Key recommendations:
Rethink the Eastern strategy. A Russian attack from
Galicia into Rumania is likely and if combined by support
from Budapest and a move toward Bulgaria by the navy in
Greece would guarantee either expulsion of the Turk from
Sevastopol or Rumania. Limiting Ottoman power now is your
only hope for long term containment.
or
Take Trieste. The Italians are in no position to defend
themselves, nor are the French or Germans able to launch any
kind of effectual campaign. The Italians are likely to attempt
another move toward Piedmont to advance their Western border,
with their naval advantage encouraging a campaign deep into
Iberia.
To the King of Prussia, His Imperial and Royal Majesty,
Kaiser Wilhelm II:
From the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, His Royal Highness Edward VII
Dear William,
Your congratulations and acceptance of our opinions on
Europe’s future are our great sense of joy! We do insist
on making clear that it is not a surrogate we seek on the
Continent, but a partner. As we stated before, your
influence in the Low Countries is natural, considerable,
and proper. We are directing our navies to support your
navy from the Netherlands to Belgium. Consider this our
pledge of good faith. This cooperation would be cemented
by your agreement to build no more navies. We will respect
your territorial waters as an enduring testimony of our
fraternity and respect.
Your Own Uncle and Your Friend, Bertie

| DC226 Press, Spring 1903 Deadline Mon 23 Feb! - hapolley (Feb 21, 2009, 6:42 pm) |
To the Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, Tsar Nicholas
II: From the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, His Royal Highness Edward VII
Dearest Friend, In reply to your most urgent appeal to the
Heads of European States for peace and cooperation in the
present and future: The people of England see your plight and
we choose to count ourselves as friends of the Russian nation.
Our differences in the past are past. We must point first that
it was Russian troops entering Austrian territory that has
precipitated much of the current conflict between your two
great nations. We do not see Austria as the sole cause of your
troubles, but as the ally you need most in this hour. We do
choose to be your friend. We will point to our decision to not
disturb your royal residence in St. Petersburg as a first
Testament to our good faith and friendship. We are prepared to
garrison forces there to buttress your hold of Moscow should it
come to that. We pray it does not.
Your Cousin and Your Ally, Edward VII
Turkey to Austria: You can see from my moves that you have
nothing to fear from me. I have no intention of breaking our
friendship before our campaign against Russia is finished.
Please write me coordinating details to help us plan our moves
together.

Berlin.
To: The Archduke and Il Duce
Betrayed by England, mocked by France, but still a player for now lol...
To the Archduke.
I can help be assisting you in eliminating the French student Army in BOH.
If you attack him thru the TYL/VIE axis, I can order BER ~ SIl ending
the puny French presence east of the Rhine.
To: Il Duce.
I can attack and at worst tie down the arrogant French A in BUR.
All that will be needed for you to take MAR in the Fall will be to
move to PIE this season.
To: The Prime Minister ~ London
Smarting from betrayal, but enjoying your view of history has led me
to the decision to throw my remaining efforts against the French.
The longer you allow me a presence the more I can hinder and curtail
French development.
I am happy to act as a surrogate English presence on the Continent.

DIPYCORP PRESS RELEASES
King Of France:
   As you all can see from my orders, I have acknowledged the
   friendship that I have with the English and the Italians.
   For the English I will continue to pound the Germans by
   land as you dismantle them by sea. I would rather see a
   fleet in Hol which would make me feel more secure in Bel
   with my sights set on Mun.  With my Army in the middle of
   the continent I'd be glad to help your moves through the
   north.  For the Italians I was unable to follow through on
   the move to Pie as I did not want to take the chances with
   a possible German Army moving into Bur. I will continue to
   work at the Germans, and with the English success in the
   north I no longer see the need to move through Pie - the
   unit I already have to their east should be enough to get
   into Mun later than sooner. If you had other plans for it
   you might let me know sooner than later.
                                 Â
                                 Â
   To the Austrians:  I appreciate the offer of help to Mun -
   but  I doubt I will get in with Ber undoubtedly supporting
   Mun this turn. Next turn I will attempt to get in again but
   with an additional supporting Army in Bur this time.  So -
   if you did support me this turn, that would be the best
   signal of intent and If you could support me again I think
   I'll get in, or the German move to block it will seal their
   fate at the hands of the English.
                                 Â
                                 Â
   To the Turks: Looks like it's going like clockwork over
   there, but with northern expansion to be capped by England
   soon - things are going to cool off to a stalemate or heat
   up to an all out war with your other neighbours. From where
   I sit I'll side with your neighbours -  lest you become the
   Genie who got out of the bottle.
                                 Â
                                 Â
   To the Germans: Nothing personal, you are just in the way,
   in the direction I intend to go.  With England on top and
   the French underneath you will be the tough nut that
   cracked sooner than is normally expected.
                                 Â
                                 Â
   To the Russians:  Not much to say, as the light at the end
   of your tunnel is probably a train.
                                 Â
                                 Â
                                 Â
Austria -> Turkey: Â I assisted you and will now support you. Â I
expect to make no advances this turn. Â The French army is
bugging me and my biggest concern.
                                 Â
                                 Â
Austria -> Russia: Â Now that you are out of Gal, I shall move
from there also. Â Let us regain the peace we once held.
                                 Â
                                 Â
Austria -> France: Â What gives? Â You move further towards my
territories? Â Do you wish EVERY nation on this map to come
after you?
                                 Â
                                 Â
Dearest Czar,
   The recent trangressions of our Southern neighbor concern
   me, and I expect concern you even more so.  The violent
   streak shown in the Balkans is unconscienable and must be
   retaliated against.  Let us put aside our differences and
   focus on the real threat.  Do you need my assistance?
   Archduke Ferdinand
                                 Â
                                 Â
Turkey, Congrats for Rumania.
   We now border one an other throughout the Balkan region.
   Peace or War is the question.  I strive for peace myself.
   I will not attack you, unless you cross the line first.
   Let Peace prevail as I focus my attention to the North.
   Austria

Wilhelm II:
                                 Â
From the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, His Royal Highness Edward VII
                                 Â
Dear William,
   Your earnest and eager entreaty does not fall on deaf ears.
   We understand your plight better than you may imagine, and
   it is your interest that we seize Denmark.  First, we
   believe you know our opinion on the outcome of the Second
   Schleswig War.  Schleswig is the extent of Your country.
   Second, our control of Scandanavia ensures our ability to
   buttress the Russian people against Ottoman influence,
   allowing your cousin Nicholas to liberate his people and
   transition toward democracy.  Third and with emphasis, we
   must be clear that we see your influence most effective in
   the Low Countries.  We shall be ready in the coming year to
   provide what assistance you may need.  We regret that this
   change in plans utterly prevents us from being of any
   assistance to you.  We trust that you will understand and
   embrace the new direction and our leadership in the
   rebuilding of Europe.
   Your Own Uncle and Your Friend,
   Bertie
                                 Â
                                 Â
From the desk of the Right Honourable Lord of the Treasury,
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
                                 Â
Monsieur Premier,
                                 Â
   I am writing to address your terms of cooperation as to the
   redrawing of Europe.  In order to support our mutual goals
   and diverging areas of interest, I propose this peace
   agreement between your Republic and ours: a buffer area of
   the English Channel and the Mid Atlantic Ocean.  I will
   keep all my navies from these waters, so long as you do the
   same.  I will afford you up to one year to facilitate
   compliance.
                                 Â
Yours faithfully, Arthur James Balfour

   the most inspired military campaigns since the
   Franco-Prussian war—the French capture of Munich—now
   appears to many as a laughable series of blunders.  The
   French army that captured the Bavarian capital at first
   appeared primed to wholly disrupt the internal security of
   the Prussian empire.  Now, many laugh off the campaign as
   nothing more than a “stag party pub-crawling through
   central Europe.â€
                                 Â
Others have suggested the French are simply holding their map
upside down. Â There is still a minority opinion that this
expedition is in fact part of a coherent strategy. Â Perhaps the
Catholic French King expects to find allies in the Italian or
Austrian monarchs. Â The rumors suggest Vienna may be interested
in helping France recapture Bavaria as tension continues to
escalate between the houses of Hapsburg and Hohenzollern.

DIPYCORP PRESS RELEASES
King Of France:
   As you all can see from my orders, I have acknowledged the
   friendship that I have with the English and the Italians.
   For the English I will continue to pound the Germans by
   land as you dismantle them by sea. I would rather see a
   fleet in Hol which would make me feel more secure in Bel
   with my sights set on Mun.  With my Army in the middle of
   the continent I'd be glad to help your moves through the
   north.  For the Italians I was unable to follow through on
   the move to Pie as I did not want to take the chances with
   a possible German Army moving into Bur. I will continue to
   work at the Germans, and with the English success in the
   north I no longer see the need to move through Pie - the
   unit I already have to their east should be enough to get
   into Mun later than sooner. If you had other plans for it
   you might let me know sooner than later.
                                 Â
                                 Â
   To the Austrians:  I appreciate the offer of help to Mun -
   but  I doubt I will get in with Ber undoubtedly supporting
   Mun this turn. Next turn I will attempt to get in again but
   with an additional supporting Army in Bur this time.  So -
   if you did support me this turn, that would be the best
   signal of intent and If you could support me again I think
   I'll get in, or the German move to block it will seal their
   fate at the hands of the English.
                                 Â
                                 Â
   To the Turks: Looks like it's going like clockwork over
   there, but with northern expansion to be capped by England
   soon - things are going to cool off to a stalemate or heat
   up to an all out war with your other neighbours. From where
   I sit I'll side with your neighbours -  lest you become the
   Genie who got out of the bottle.
                                 Â
                                 Â
   To the Germans: Nothing personal, you are just in the way,
   in the direction I intend to go.  With England on top and
   the French underneath you will be the tough nut that
   cracked sooner than is normally expected.
                                 Â
                                 Â
   To the Russians:  Not much to say, as the light at the end
   of your tunnel is probably a train.
                                 Â
                                 Â
                                 Â
Austria -> Turkey: Â I assisted you and will now support you. Â I
expect to make no advances this turn. Â The French army is
bugging me and my biggest concern.
                                 Â
                                 Â
Austria -> Russia: Â Now that you are out of Gal, I shall move
from there also. Â Let us regain the peace we once held.
                                 Â
                                 Â
Austria -> France: Â What gives? Â You move further towards my
territories? Â Do you wish EVERY nation on this map to come
after you?
                                 Â
                                 Â
Dearest Czar,
   The recent trangressions of our Southern neighbor concern
   me, and I expect concern you even more so.  The violent
   streak shown in the Balkans is unconscienable and must be
   retaliated against.  Let us put aside our differences and
   focus on the real threat.  Do you need my assistance?
   Archduke Ferdinand
                                 Â
                                 Â
Turkey, Congrats for Rumania.
   We now border one an other throughout the Balkan region.
   Peace or War is the question.  I strive for peace myself.
   I will not attack you, unless you cross the line first.
   Let Peace prevail as I focus my attention to the North.
   Austria

                                 Â
                                 Â
                                 Â
To the King of Prussia, His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Kaiser
Wilhelm II:
                                 Â
From the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, His Royal Highness Edward VII
                                 Â
Dear William,
   Your earnest and eager entreaty does not fall on deaf ears.
   We understand your plight better than you may imagine, and
   it is your interest that we seize Denmark.  First, we
   believe you know our opinion on the outcome of the Second
   Schleswig War.  Schleswig is the extent of Your country.
   Second, our control of Scandanavia ensures our ability to
   buttress the Russian people against Ottoman influence,
   allowing your cousin Nicholas to liberate his people and
   transition toward democracy.  Third and with emphasis, we
   must be clear that we see your influence most effective in
   the Low Countries.  We shall be ready in the coming year to
   provide what assistance you may need.  We regret that this
   change in plans utterly prevents us from being of any
   assistance to you.  We trust that you will understand and
   embrace the new direction and our leadership in the
   rebuilding of Europe.
   Your Own Uncle and Your Friend,
   Bertie
                                 Â
                                 Â
From the desk of the Right Honourable Lord of the Treasury,
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
                                 Â
Monsieur Premier,
                                 Â
   I am writing to address your terms of cooperation as to the
   redrawing of Europe.  In order to support our mutual goals
   and diverging areas of interest, I propose this peace
   agreement between your Republic and ours: a buffer area of
   the English Channel and the Mid Atlantic Ocean.  I will
   keep all my navies from these waters, so long as you do the
   same.  I will afford you up to one year to facilitate
   compliance.
                                 Â
Yours faithfully, Arthur James Balfour
                                 Â

| DC226 Before Fall 02 Press! - hapolley (Feb 11, 2009, 5:39 pm) |
Fall Deadline 12 Feb almost here!
Prime Minister,
Now is the time when I most need your assistance.
This is my hour of need!
Please do not seize the state of Denmark which it is within your power to do.
The German people have sacrificed themselves twice in your aid, once foiling the Bolsheviks from seizing Sweden, and again not attempting to seize it for ourselves. In return all we ask is some temporary support while the German people turn on their aggressors, the French!
We can hold them back while you build your Northern Empire, but while an invasion of DEN could lead to an early gain for you, it would be disasterous for us and our excellent relations with your fine Empire.
Hold your nerve, honour your treaty and your rewards will be great, among them will be the heads of the French Monarchy!
Kaiser
Suddenly, the press has taken an ugly turn. Long expositories,
detailed (nay, graphic) descriptions of pain and losses, a call for
united arms. We have not seen this style in the past. So, we wonder,
who could it possibly have come from?

DIPYCORP PRESS RELEASES
New Turkey to Austria:
I can see from last seasons moves that you were friends with
the previous Turkish sultan. I have no intention of breaking
this friendship since it appears to have work well for both of
our great nations in the past. Please fill me in on the
details of your agreements with the previous Turkish sultan in
your next press.
From The Czar of Russia-
Nations of Europe, I, Your Humble Czar, have been tried my
hardest to refrain from violence, we Russians have always
intended to use any military power we have to insure peace
throughout our land. Unfortunately, Austria has felt that
WE, WE pose a threat to you. For the longest time we have
remained in our cities, watching our world fall apart, and
desired to do nothing but assist in peace. We have
endeavored to form a trust with each and every one of you,
so we can all work toward mutual goals. Ladies and
Gentlemen, Kings and Queens, Dukes and Duchesses, Prime
Ministers and First ladies, Austria and Turkey have
violated that trust! Thankfully, the turkish people have
realized this, and have ejected their former leader and
installed a new, more sensible one. However, the facts
remain. Austria ordered attacks, by turkey, on us, your
humble guardian-servant. Our City of Sevestpol is still
burning, even after an entire season. Sevestpol has been
left with its father's dead, mother's raped, and children
kidnaped and pressed into Turkish service. ALL BECAUSE OF
AUSTRIA! The time has come, Europe, to band together, and
fight the forces that seek nothing but their own dominion.
They'll invade our space, and we'll fall back. They'll take
over entire supply centers, and we'll fall back. Well, not
again, and never again. The line must be drawn HERE, and we
will make them PAY for WHAT THEY HAVE DONE! -Your
Czar-protector
Germany to Austria: Archduke, there is still time to draw back
our two great Nations from the brink of disaster. We are at a
loss as the cause of your enemity, Germany and Austria/Hungary
being traditional friends. You will shortly be under serious
attack from three sides, why invite us to join your enemies?
Your presence in TYL and threatened support of the French will
bring you no gain, as France has his eyes firmly set on MUN
with no possibility of spoils for you. I would hope that even
that this late stage you can see the storm clouds gathering
againt you in the Balkans, the Aegean and GAL, why even VIE
could be under threat from the rogue French. It is in these
circumstances that we ask you to desist from supporting the
French, and return your armies to base in VIE or TRI. Should
you choose not to respond or to decline, then we will support
Italy in whatever endeavour she will do to remove your threat
to her from TYL. We await your timely response.
The Kaiser
The King of France accepts the hospitality of the Archduke.
With your Tyrolian Army, would you be willing to support my
return to Mun? I am eager to have my Army out of your
territories as quickly as possible and make the area safer for
both our countries.

Regime Change in United Kingdom: Salisbury ousted by Balfour's
promise of "CHANGE WE CAN BE SMUG ABOUT." Russians see omens of
regime collapse within their own borders. Italians sign peace
treaty with Ethiopia but surprise supposed ally! Swiss pair wins
Nobel Peace Prize - which seems kinda unfair, honestly.
The Prime Minister writes:
Chancellor, it is my desire that you and I cooperate in the
movements of the future. My intention to land in Belgium was to
prevent the French from annexing it into their republic, but instead
kept you out. I will leave it to you this Spring. Similarly, I
trust that you will not prevent our taking Sweden.
Salisbury
The King of France looks forward to an un-even split of post
German Europe with her friends from England. French ownership of
Bel, Mun and Ber would be agreeable while France would help England
in taking Kie, Den, the Nordics and northern Russia. I believe a
little cooperation in Bel would set the cornerstone in redrawing the
map. English Naval support of a Pic Army into Bel would set this
plan moving irresistibly forward. Moving to the English Channel
would certainly chill our relationship, whereas a move which the new
London fleet replaces the unit in the North Sea when it moves east
would also point to a positive relationship. Germany is currently
in a awkward position, but together we could make it untenable.
I look forward to working with you soon.
The King of France extends the hand of friendship to Italy. I
will move my Mar Army to Pie in order to hit Germany from
underneath. Allowing my army to travel through your northern
frontier will solidify our friendly relationship. I look forward to
a future where there are no units tied up along our common frontier,
and thus they are freed to move somewhere more profitable.
Berlin.
To Il Duce,
Your words of support are most welcome to our suffering people.
Daily we await your support in driving the invidious French from the
once proud city of MUNICH.
Let the Italian people know that their support in Germany's hour of
need will never be forgotten, and when the time comes, Germany will
stand shoulder to shoulder with its fine Italian friends against ANY
outside aggressor.
The Kaiser Berlin
To our old and longest friends, the rulers of Britannia, from our
long ties through the House of Hannover and the House of Windsor,
Germany extends the hand of friendship!
We will support your efforts in the North where you strive to free
the peaceloving Russian peoples from the dead hand of the
Bolsheviks, and once we have removed the poisonous french dart from
Munich, we will look to support you in taking the fight to France.
BRE, POR and SPA for England, PAR and MAR for Germany.
If England can agree to this we will welcome its troops to BEL when
we can carry the fight directly into the French homeland!
Let us forge an unbreakable alliance that will stand the test of
time and carry all of Europe before it!
We await word from the Great British Prime Minister!
The Kaiser
Austria to Turkey: As long as Russia remains in my territories, you
have my full support!
Austria to Italy: We can get along, or we can stalemate. I mean
you no harm. I will probably move to Tyl to secure myself against
the French, but Ven is safe from me.
BANANAS! Turkish forces capture Crimean Peninsula. Britain weeps in
envy. The Archduke of Austria plans to claim Rumania for himself in
his bid to annex the Tsar¢s Empire. No one wants control of the
Mediterranean. All nations fear the Berbery pirates!
From: Austria
To: France
My dear friend,
I apologize for not being in position to support your army this
Spring. I wrote the wrong territory in my order to my army in
Vienna. It cost me an open port! If my error makes you withdraw
from Munich, fall back to Silesia. That way I will be able to
support your re-conquest from Bohemia or an onward movement into
Warsaw from Galicia.
Yours Sincerely,
Archduke Ferdinand

Moving to the English Channel would certainly chill our relationship, whereas a move which the new London fleet replaces the unit in the North Sea when it moves east would also point to a positive relationship. Germany is currently in a awkward position, but together we could make it untenable. I look forward to working with you soon.
The King of France extends the hand of friendship to Italy. I will move my Mar Army to Pie in order to hit Germany from underneath. Allowing my army to travel through your northern frontier will solidify our friendly relationship. I look forward to a future where there are no units tied up along our common frontier, and thus they are freed to move somewhere more profitable.

DIPYCORP PRESS RELEASES
Turkey to Austria:
I think we may have come to an agreement in the Balkans that
can lead to a lasting peace. My building of an army in SMY is
indicative of the fact that I do not plan to challenge for
power in the Med. We have both expressed a desire for peace
with Italy, which means that we can focus our new alliance
against the Russian. Will you support my A BUL into RUM?
MUNICH FALLS! French troops march into Munich in a move
condemned by many European leaders. The Italian premier has
already vowed support for the Kaiser as Venetian troops are
reportedly sighted marching North to Tyrolia, on the road to
the German city. The British prime minister is yet to comment.
