Just as soon as I finish watching Grace Point, Parenthood and the Amazing Race.

Check that. Two solos and a four-way. Also, its.

2,4, and 5 are the ones that are done, right? And "1" has a different name from the other 4 I think. I'll post it shortly.

Props to VB for pushing to thin the draw down from 5 to 4 in game 5 even though the 5th team was me. I should have helped VB solo once Jim stole Trieste from me while I was trying to hold off VB.

I had two valid reasons for taking Trieste, and I figured you wouldn't try to throw the solo as a consequence. I was right.

The only valid reason was to cut me out of the draw. Eventually.

Nonsense.

Reason No. 1. Austria had an idle unit adjacent to Trieste. I didn't want him taking the dot, because that would have given him two idle units, and idle hands.

Reason No. 2. Two of your five units were superfluous. They were sparring with the British on the other side of the line. I didn't want you pushing back or holding back the Brits. I needed an imminent solo threat.

All four of my units were engaged on the stalemate line. I needed the situation on the line to be desperate so that the Turks (who had a few spare units) and the Austrians (who had one) would clearly see that if they took a swing at me, the line would collapse and we'd all lose the game. As long as work remained on the British side of the line, the solo threat wasn't as clear as I wanted. The clearer the threat, the more likely the game ends with my crappy position in the draw.

So, I took Trieste. You had three units in three dots on the stalemate line. You were essential to the line. You knew that, and given that I was supporting you, you knew I knew it as well. I was much, much more concerned that England would take a shot at Tyrolia as I dropped down on Trieste than I was about you choosing to pull an essential unit instead of a non-essential one.

And to be honest, I wasn't all that concerned about England moving to Tyrolia.

Game 3 is the energizer rabbit.

One way or another...

Bump.

Bump.

Set.

Zzzzz

Yah, this one is slow. Game 1 reached Fall 1918 a week and a half ago.

...And we're done.
