Maria EOG
Played England... interesting seesaw between France, Germany and I... got overconfident on the turn Germany moved out of the Scandinavian centers... ah well... lucky Turkey didn't solo that game!

Stupid 6 way . . . that's not going to be so nice to my GR . . . of course, a year ago, I thought I was on my way out.

France, you're pretty good, but you send the creepiest press ever. Russia, try to get moves in every turn . . . Italy, I would have loved to hear from you before the last two years. England, you have the strangest tactics ever. It worked out very well the turn you took den and swe, and not so well the next year when you lost stp and swe. Turkey, I didn't interact with you much, but you seem very patient.

And since Ernst started the EOG, I'll give him a little more meat . . . you actually did pretty well to stab me when you did. As much as I may have claimed to the contrary, that fleet was eventually headed down your throat. Not that year, and probably not the year after that either, but the plan was to sit it in hol until you got complacent and I had France under control, then to go for your home centers, nor, stp, and war as the last stage of a solo bid. However, your little jabs in 1901 and maybe 1902 didn't really accomplish anything . . . you're lucky I got greedy and stabbed France, or you would have been toast.

We could have easily cut Russia and either France or Italy (or me . . . ) out of the draw, but it's late and I want to sleep.

Good game everybody.

Hi all. That was my first game (playing Russia). I have a feeling it was obvious ; ). Thanks for a good game regardless.

@exit
You should try playing a game with longer phases where you're not trying to learn to use the interface under time pressure. It was very obvious that, in addition to not really knowing how the game worked, you were having trouble getting orders in and reading/writing press each turn.

You might also want to read up on some strategy articles. I'm too sleepy to look up the good links now, but I can put them up tomorrow if nobody else has by then.

Oh, and were you really asking my permission to go to gal in 1902/1903?
Ernst_Brenner (743 D)
28 Nov 10 UTC
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Belgium would have been a better 1901 move... I thought you might be covering Munich, and I'd originally thought to sneak into Denmark if you were bouncing and Russia wasn't... but didn't sound like that was happening.

Anyway, I'd decided to go with France, which was obviously my first mistake!

hol would have been a brilliant move if I hadn't supported myself in!

I had a feeling you were going to, but I'd already switched my moves twice, and I was getting tired of it!

Seemingly odd two-player draw in WTA Gunboat
I didn't expect to win in my first WTA game (I was England),
gameID=42868
but I'm suspicious that Turkey gave up on the possibility of winning in Autumn '09 with the simple move F Irish Sea to Lvp.
Does this play look odd to anyone else?

Gunboat-125 user banned
Got a note that a user was banned and to see the game for details, but it being a gunboat, there's no chatbox. Still there's a message saying unread messages, but no apparent way to check them. Is this a feature?

Support hold and bounce.
I have an army in Gascony, other in Spain, other in Piedmont.
The orders i give are: G: move Mars; P: move Mars; S: support hold Gascony.
If i'm attacked in Gascony with support move, will the support hold make the fight even and thus i keep gascony, or will it be invalidated since the army has moved (or at least, attemped to)?

Gamma World has been released and updated.
Just saw it at Borders. It has a CCG element to it in the form of mutation cards but still has the classic D&D game play with character sheets and dice.

Problem/bug with voting for draws?
I voted to pause this game: gameID=42651
Everyone else voted for a draw. So the game ended in a draw? Does voting to pause count as voting for a draw?

Support different coasts
I thought I understood this part of the rules, but after looking things up, I've become even more confused. The question is, can a fleet from say Marseilles support a fleet from Gascony to the north coast of Spain?

Why would they do that? Will it blow over or escalate?

I don't see it escalating but it is always a worry. The stakes are high.
