['Greetings!\n\nI was just wondering what your aims were regarding territory in the area? May I suggest that we keep Tyr as a DMZ for the time being?', 'Hi there, Italy!  In my experience, Austria and Italy fighting anytime before 1904 or so ends one way: they are both eliminated.  So keeping a DMZ is good (ideally find a way to keep all four of TRL, ADR, TRI and VEN as a DMZ) but even better would be a joint goal we can work together on.  Typically as Austria my thoughts are to keep Russia and Turkey from allying, and pick one side against the other.  If you wanted to go after Turkey with me, that could work, but if you wanted to go after France (with either English or German help), I could go after Russia with Turkish help.  In general, I guess I’m saying I’m willing to go almost any sensible way that goes along with an alliance which I can grow to trust 🙂', "I was definitely thinking of going after France, as I find they can quickly spiral out of control if uncontested.\n\nMight be best if you go after Turkey with Russia and I'll focus my attention West", 'Awesome.  I reached out to Russia and will let you know how that turns out. You have any indications that you’ll get any help against France? It can be a slow and annoying slog if you go 1:1 against them...', 'England seems to be interested, so hopefully we can nip France in the bud ASAP']
So how did we want to move in Spring to set us both up to feel safe and not tightly entangled in each other’s business?  Any particular moves you have in mind, given what you’ve been hearing?
