OK just finished off the first year as Spain in Modern Dip and I came through fairly well since I wasn't attacked and was able to bag three builds. As far as I can tell the Pole and the German are incompetant and the rest seem to know the basics of what they are doing.
But now the question of who to attack is raising its ugly head. I've sort of got a Western Triple set up with France and Britain to sweep east together. But I'm having a bit of a hard time prodding the frenchie into moving an offensive position against the Italian. Now from his point of view he doesn't want to end up with a two front war (not that much of a danger in view of the German's incompetance), but I'm a bit worried I might end up holding the bad and have to fight the Italians by myself, which I just don't have enough fleets to do effectively.
So do you think I should hope that the Frenchie comes through or stab him unmercifully? I could probably get him to set up a bounce in Nav and then support myself into Nav and thus be able to sneak into Bor unopposed, and from there start gnawing at his underside while at least some of his units are tied up on the German border.
Then there's the Brit, I could probably manuever to ensure that I get Mor within two years but against both the Brits and the French there's a good chance that I'd peak at possession of Bor and Mor and then go downhill from there.
I guess I'm greedy and I see an opportunity where I'm pretty much assured of grabbing a SC or two as opposed to the long hard slog it'll probably take to get Nap and Rom off the Italian with possibly lukewarm of non-existance French help.
Any ideas?
