Win 07 and Spr 08 Thoughts

I don't know who to trust... I think we are at a key spot in the game...

I'm still not sure if I can trust Turkey when he says he will help me and is only concerned with getting Italy out of the game before him. I mean, he is a really experienced player.. the only experienced player in the group that is left actually.

France, who I do trust pretty well, has promised me again that he'll be on my side till the end, and also says he doesn't mind finishing 2nd to me.

I haven't talked much with Italy, because he's a good friend and I want him out of the game. :-) But he is really strong and knows I have an alliance with France. He has mentioned he only really wants Turkey out of the game before him, and is estatic to still be in this game, as he's playing Italy.

So... I don't know what to think.. I would think everyone would still ideally want a solo victory, and clearly Italy is still looking strong.. the only thing touch for Italy is that he is fighting France and Turkey at the same time...

That's why I still think it is possible that he might have a truce soon with Turkey... But if Turkey was going to switch to Italy's side, I think he would not have disbanded the army in Silesia. Unless he thinks that'll be too obvious to me... argh.. i keep overthinking this!!

The problem is... If they are not working together, than I support Lvn into Mos now.. assuming Ukr bounces with Sev.. Shit.. I don't know... would Sev really move off of Sev to protect Mos? I suppose he will die soon anyways... only 4 centers left.. maybe he'll be happy to left me have Moscow to end Turkey sooner.. but that doesn't make sense.. once I have Moscow, I'm obviously moving south to Sev... Damn, I'm starting to sound like Vizzini from Princess Bride...


Anyway... I think I'm going to move to surround Mos with StP, Lvn, and War this turn. That way I'll DEFINITELY get it in the fall, when it matters most. It might be the long way around, but I guess I'm in no rush.. I should get 1 more SC by next fall (Mos) and I'll help France get into the Italian Peninsula. But Italy will probably get some SC's in Ank and/or Rum.. So it'll be interesting by next Fall..
