Gertcha, as Chas 'n' Dave would say. Right, so my thinking s going
something along these lines. If I move 

A Con-Bul
A Smy-Con

Then that leaves my two northernmost supply centres covered and
potentially supporting each other. It also captures me a new supply
centre, giving me a guaranteed build next fall turn since nobody will
have got into a position to attack Symrna by that point.

Oh, except Russia, which is why it'd be prudent of me to arrange with
Duncan for neither of us to try having a pop at each other early on (and
also to stay out of the black sea) since it'd do nothing but weaken the
pair of us when there're nice unguarded supply centres for both our
taking at this stage. This will allow Duncan to expand into scandinavia
and allow me to get my build on.

Unless, of course, either Dncan or myself is a no-good rotten sneak, in
which case either of us could potentially lose a home supply centre in
autumn 1901.

Oh, gawd, this is *already* fun! What do you say, Dunc?
