Press

France – Naples: I hate to say "I have said to you about the betrayal", but I must. Any way we can do something against the sure victory of Venice, if you want. You have to take Bologna and I need your support from Pisa in Lucca for my fleet in Modena (or retreated in LS), I already eliminate Lucca support to Bolo in this turn. If you don't take Bolo now, I shall support you when I will be in Modena with the army. You should also disband his fleet in Ionian Sea because if he enter in GON or CM we have lost, the same for LA that could support Bari or Ancona or convoy armies in your provinces. At the end, if you do not need them, I need instead 6d to disband one venetian army in the North. I shall return them next winter.

Naples – France: I didn't figure it would be you, had to be him... I am giving you support into Lucca, next turn too if able and if it didn't work this turn..... one of these days, would you please, tell me why you kept pointing to VENICE at Bari and my other areas - seems you did more to make him attack me then you should have. And all that superfluous counting of his dots, and the VC's? I got to believe you didn't have anything else to do, ....tho I'd thought you'd spend some time trying to find a way to break thru his lines...... OH, say, can you loan me 4d to do a removal of one of Venice's units? thanks in advance....

Naples – Venice: Yeah! Figured that! Just what took you so long? France had you locked tight so now you've come down for the real fight... OK, here we go!
