My Friends play Diplomacy: Italy

Alright this is the 4th edition in this series and it is time to take on the player who soared the highest and crashed the hardest. That would be Italy.

Well we are going to dig in and find the reasons why things worked and what was the ultimate downfall for Italy.

Here is the first edition, and while I would like to say I am going to get these out pretty quick I am not making any promises.

Let's start with Turkey since they went out first (okay Austria forgot the game started so they lost first but we are not counting them):

Alright let's see the first moves:
