If billy had been more aggressive during his last turn, he would have had Greece by last turn, and have already been moving the extra unit he got from it.

Well, my position is perilous, but I think I can figure out where the armies are going to move. I guess I'm better with diplomacy than strategy.

I think France has taken some really smart moves. Very efficient takeover of Iberia.

You seem to be on a bit too many fronts. I would use diplomacy to allow me to use my units more efficiently. Don't want to be any more specific than that.

You're basically saying that using diplomacy is the downside of playing a particular country in a game called "Diplomacy."

No, I wasn't clear, I was saying that having so many borders with other nations is a downside of being Germany. I probably could have made this better with better strategy, but its my first time playing and I'm a noob!

You can always change strategy right now. I'm sure there is another player(s) who would be willing to sign a peace treaty or alliance against another player.

No word from Billy yet. Looks like the Sultan's vezir (me) will be filling in for the Sultan again. Hopefully for the last time. The empire remains open for any diplomatic exchanges in private with the great powers of Europe.

I think I may want to participate if there is ever another game of it
looks interesting.
