Thanks to the standby for his unused orders.

France – Naples: It seems that you are able to take CM by yourself and so I moved TS to contrast his support of the EM in Tuscany to begin the take over there. If necessary, I shall give it in summer. Moreover I need your from Pisa or Urbino for my Bologna to Florence.

Naples – France: Let's wipe him out, NOW, rather than later... Hope you read my instructions, but I also decide to do something else to insure my move into CM...

Venice – France: All right, you're kicking my ass. Can you at least leave me some land to retire in?

Venice – Naples: Well, your decision stands before you. You can keep attacking me and give the game to France who is leading by a long shot. Or you can be neutral. Or you can turn and attack France, or at least defend your centers against him stabbing to win. Know that I am done attacking you and am pulling back. Do as you will but I would prefer to keep the game going rather than just giving up meekly to France.
