Basically went as follows. I make a neutral opening, while Germany decides to log in at the last second, and enters a ridiculous set of orders. So I and England ally to take him out.
I send my fleets south to fight Italy, and with Austrian help he is taken down and goes CD. At this time with Rome and Naples I look to stab England hoping for a fast win, but obviously calculations went wrong and England was prepared.
I take the 3 centre loss and realign with England. Austria seeing I stabbed England, let down his guard and I swamp his centres with my fleets (he managed to keep one fleet). This is where it gets interesting - England loses ground in Russia for a bit while I gain unexpectedly swift gains in Austrian home soil and I start to catch up on England. Now if this had continued, I would have the supply centres to win without attacking England so Austria calls for a "grand alliance". England promptly stabs but this time I am prepared and I beat off his assault while mopping up the Balkans. England seeing his stab failed then frantically tries to revive a 2-way proposal, but I have the victory in the bag and take it.
Good game everyone. Impressive play coldsoup, but France is my strongest country and we both timed our stabs rather badly. But the last war was the one that mattered and I was literally shaking.
