This is what I was thinking, in sequence, after spring 01: Austria's going down unless I bolster him, and Italy and Russia will get the lion's share. Oh shit, he's trying to attack me when Italy's pouring everything into him? I'll try and persuade Russia that we're doing a juggernaut, but disembowel him before he can do serious damage to Austria. Austria's still atacking me? Fuck him, let him go down. I'll try and jackal up some leavings, and hope I can build my Balkans defense for when France disposes of England and starts moving on Italy. France can start moving on Italy any time now. Seriously France, your takedown of England is still going on? You're fucking kidding me, another fleet in Brest? How the fuck is North Africa still unoccupied when it's clear Italy and France will be battling over the West Med? France still hasn't killed England. Amazing. So, France must think Moscow will be the decisive territory, that's why he hasn't put a unit in Piedmont yet. Italy, look west. I'm playing for a draw, leave me alone and go deal with France. Still trying to attack me? Wow. Hey, look, the two powers with double digit SCs finally figured out that the other one was a threat to solo. Stalemate lines are reasonably well established. Oh fuck, it's over. Might as well add Bulgaria to my properties.
