Diplomacy in the time of COVID19 - Wikileaks style

Something that I am sure would never happen in the diplomatic circles simulated in Diplomacy, but here is a great cache of diplomatic cables from Italy during the game that are just too good to keep secret.  Russia denies being the source of this leak.

Until the opening of the official archives, particularly of the other combatants, we have only this treasure trove of Italian correspondence and then only up to Spring 1904.  At that stage the European map looked like this:

Thanks to Simon for hosting this game for the NWS and friends during the COVID19 lockdown .

This is the results of the Fall 1908 Turn, or turn 16 for those who prefer counting.

Only fault is that the A Sev should be in Arm, ready to deal death blow to the Italians in Syria.
