Re: [eia] Peace of Munich ?

["J.J. Young" <jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, whatever.  I was just trying to avoid making any of the Coalition
powers feel left out, since there's no place where all three are gathered.
Also, there is precedent for a peace treaty to be signed on the loser's
ground, such as the 2 Peaces of Paris that ended (and then reended, after
Waterloo) the Napoleonic wars.  On top of that, one of the Coalition powers
will get to choose "corps on loan" as a peace condition, which it seems most
likely will be one of the corps in Munich.  But hey, I've tried to make my
points, and I'm willing to call the thing whatever the consensus decides.
