Just the last words of a departing (not for long... 
) FAM:
About the entire Bob-Vox-us situation, war is going to erupt- probably between Vox and GoW or ND, and also between Bobians themselves. We don't have to pick sides, but we can turn this to our favor.
I think we should favorably consider letting GoW and ND know, (independently of course) that we plan to attack Vox, and that we just want to take over their Estonian territory. We'll promise not to go continue our conquest into Bob, perhaps signing a long term secret NAP with each of them. In return we ask that they hold their war (if the plan to anyway), or start one on Vox (if they just think about being opportunistic...
) when we do. I think this should be done rather soon, if we are to succeed- so that they won't deal with Vox, selling them a right to stay of something of this kind, resulting in one of our main causes/excuses for war (the instablilty and potential foreign attack on our continent their intrusion to Bob brings) eliminated.
One important thing we are to remember, if we try to pull of this kind of thing: Let the Bobians (GoW and/or ND) or us (preferably the Bobiasn) declare on Vox first- Vox will concentrate its forces there, but their attack should come in one turn or 2 (after some psychological: "stack of X whatevers is coming your way- be prepared!" precision strikes) after that, when we declare and attack ourselves, this way Vox will have time to organize a defense against the Bobians, and we'll be able to tell we were pressed for an attack because of the latest troubling events across the strait.
We can convince the Bobians by telling them we could cut off the Iron supply of Vox if we meet no resistance by the first turn (a little half-truth, but that won't kill anyone), so they have something to earn from declaring earlier- fewer Immortals as the war continues. One important thigs is not to promise the Bobian lands of Vox to anyone- we don't want things to remain quite between ND and GoW. We shouldn't get RP into this as well- by dealing with the northen Bobians alone we cut the bond between them, and isolate RP- which is just what we need if we plan to strike them in the future.
This is only an idea- a plan if you'd like- and it depends on whether Vox gets a foothold on Bob- we also need to do this at the right time, and hope ND or GoW will trust us, or can be trusted themselves. (I'm sure GoW is quite scared, now that Vox has a bigger military than they have, so we might need to calm them down).
I trust you to do a good job- in whatever you choose to do!
May the Gathering Storm prevail!
