A Bul-Ser & A Gre S A Bul-Ser occured to me, but I'm not sure if it would be wise to attack Austria quite so early. If I don't go with that it seems like A Gre-Alb & F Aeg-Gre to get in to position for striking Italy.
France made a bad retreat and lost an army, which makes me feel a lot better. 5 armies I can deal with, but 6 was just dominating that region far too much for my comfort. Of course he's just going to build it back in Fall I expect, but by then the rest of us will be a bit bigger, and so he wouln't have a huge advantage.
Still not sure about the long-term game. Joining the France-English alliance seems like the smart move, since I've heard from you guys that Russia-Turkey heavily favors Russia. That's not a decision I need to make for a while, however. I'm also worried that the France-English alliance is basically planning on playing to a tie between the two, after crushing me. The person who runs the game says that they often end with a tie, so I wouldn't be too suprised to see people playing towards one this game.
