Press and Commentary

VIENNA: I have proposed a draw that includes all countries save Austria and the Ottoman. The game has come down to a simple tactical exercise where the battle lines are obvious, the alliances completely set, the play of the game tedious, and the outcome inevitable. That so many units on the map face each other doing nothing but acting as garrisons against the day it's all over makes a mockery of Diplomacy as a game. If it's so important that Ottoman and Austria be eliminated, let it be so. Let's end this pointless charade and move on.
