All Hail Tom

Hey, everyone, I have an idea. I could try and fight Tom off and and keep Austria from getting into my borders just long enough for someone else to move in and take over. But what would that accomplish. It would just make the game go on so much longer. I've decided on a different path. I'm just going to retreat in the face of the Austrian advance. Like the lemmings, my armies will plummet in the seas. Besides, with that brilliant strategic move of uniting everyone against Russia and France, he really is the only one who deserves to win. In addition to my retreats, I'll be sending the remainder of my navy after England, just to spice things up a bit. Enjoy the Russian Armada Bill.
