I made some errors that helped italy think he coudl stab austria and win.
I should have put a fleet in STP much earlier, so Russia felt comfortable moving forward.
france had given me a lot of worry early, when germany was deep inside him and he lost Paris in fall 1901 Right then, is when I decided I had to go for Germany, because france was sure not going to stop Germany alone.
Once I got STP, i really had no interest in Russia at all, because france getting gobbled up by Germany did not interest me at all.
Now, there was 2 or 3 times in the early years, once Germany had been pushed back a bit (after I got denmark and France took paris back) that i strongly thought about stabbing france, but I decided to keep on killing Germany, and hope my French 'ally' would help me keep Italy out of the MAO.....
So, yes, I messed up a few places.
