English Govt-Par: The Black Knight always wins! I'm invincible!

Par: Please would any foreign head of government planning to take a short break please let me know in advance. I can keep your seat warm for you if you like.

Rom-Ber: Support is cut? So what?

Rom-English Govt: Why did you give up that soon?

Rom-Con: Fine defense in previous fall, but ... now what?

Rom-StP: I hope you like the steppes, cause I don't.

Rom-Par: So, France is dressed blue in total ... again.

Rom-ALB: What does ALB stand for?

ALB-Rom: ALB = Alistair Lawrence Bain = Ally Bain

StP-English Govt: Sorry about that, but I needed the army.

ALB: I know it might sound funny but I've been asked to propose the following; G/F Draw, G/R Draw, G/F/R Draw & G/F/R/T Draw. Without any shadow of doubt I think it will be turned down but you've got to vote. If you fail to vote, your vote will be 'yes' to all so therefore remember to vote.
