[QUOTE=Tristan]  
2 build France… very nice.  
[/QUOTE]  
Thanks very much… but I couldn’t have done it without help. I’d like to thank Russia, whose dastardly plan this was all along, and still is.

(And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. Wonderful view of Ile-de-Cite’.)

Another wonderfully stabby turn by the looks of things.  
[/QUOTE]

Looks to me like Austria and Italy need to become really good friends, really fast.

2 builds for France. A lot of choices there. Who wants to be your friend?

Russia is doinked.

btw, I’m Germany in the SDMB final.

I’ve got to wonder what a lot of playes are thinking.  
I tried looking up France’s opening [here](http://www.diplom.org/DipPouch/Online/Openings/interactive.html), but it’s not listed.  
This might be fun to watch…
