Getting people to talk
I usually get the ball rolling and open up communication with everyone before spring of the first year is over. However, recently I took over for someone and I can't get any dialogue going with the other folks. Any suggestions?

Good game I thought, until France CDd in 1911....damn him..lol

1901 was pretty interesting. Austria got banged by Italy in the first yearin trieste

Russia got hosed by Turkey, and lost sevastopol but still got sweden/romania, so he was still okay.

England went to the channel fast, and it gave Germany 3 builds the first year.

1902 saw Turkey put a strangle hold on teh black sea, and kick the russian from romania also, and get an army firmly entrenchedin sevastopol.

Italy managed to get into greece, which would later set up a massive naval struggle between Italy and Turkey.

Austria recaptured trieste.

The engllish/french war raged. and germany was setting up for taking russia from the north.

193/1904 saw little action between russia/turkey, but Turkey managed to gobble up serbia/Greece. Germany managed to land on England, and also grab sweden. Russias demise had begun.

1905/1906 saw england die finally, and italy take a stab into southern Germany. Italy/Austria seemed to have an uneasy peace against a large Turkey. The turkish/italian naval stand off was now at 3 each

France was making some headway vs Germany, but Rusia had been offcially booted from the north except for STP,

1907-1908 Turkey slipped an army into galacia, and then snagged Rusia (who actually CDd this turn) Turkey had a 4 vs 3 fleet advantage for a turn, but clever Italy managed to kill a fleet in Albania, and putting it back to 3 to3.

STP falls to germany, but russia grabs sweden, and France and Germany continue their struggle to conquer england.

1909-1910 was big. Austria is crushed. Turkey gets Budapest/vienna, Italy seeing that his buffer is dying grabs Trieste, and austria manages to retreat into Serbia.

Turkey gets up to STp off vacant SCs, and Germany takes warsaw from the Turk. France and german stalemate continues.

Italy and Turkey are up to 4 fleets each..lol

1911 saw the end of the game, as France CDd, adn Germany took the draw.

All in all a good game, without France CDing, not sure what would have happened Germany had 2 armies in Russia, but Turkey now was free of Austria and armies to burn, and was also up 4 fleets to 3 on Italy, so progress WOULD have been made there eventually.

Thanks to Achilles and Cpseik for a great game.

I was Italy, and I realized too late that Turkey was inhabited by a quality player. By the time I realized, I'd burned my bridges with Austria. Austria seemed like he knew what he was doing, but he NMR'd a couple times and then was overly worried about me when the obvious danger was Turkey. But putting myself in his shoes, I might have done the same. If I'm Austria having to defend against Italy or Turkey I always defend against Italy because he is usually the one who put me in that spot! And I definitely did cause Austria some troubles. I moved Venice to Trieste in Spring 1901 (and I waited until that last possible moment to save my moves so he might think I was NMRing ;-) ). I made it in, but I wasn't able to take him apart. Turkey took Russia apart and soon I was looking down the barrel of 3 Turkish fleets.

I got quite lucky holding off the Turkish fleets. When I realized it was time to abandon Austria and defend against Turkey I moved all forces away from Austria. Unfortunately he chose that turn as his first NMR! I missed my chance to gain some centers and take control of the situation myself, but of course Turkey cashed in. I moved back to Ven, Tyr try to grab a few Austrian dots, but then Turkey took Serbia, and was making moves to get his third fleet on the Ionian. I figured Turkey would support Trieste to hold against me, so I scootched up to Tyrolia and Bohemia to try to snatch up Vienna. But then his little green check came back on, so he was no longer CD'd. But Turkey was ready to move his third fleet up and I only had two. What to do? I snatched Munich from Germany. Yah! Now I had three fleets to stall Turkey. Then many years of trying to hold off Turkey and wishing I was dead ;-) . I had some wonderful heroic guesses. I destroyed his fleet in Albania as he was moving a fourth up onto Ionian, and that kept me installed in Ionian for a bit longer. Unfortunately Turkey was getting position on Russia and Austria (who weren't paying enough attention to Turkey IMHO). Then Russia CD'd and it was only a matter of time.

More battling, holding onto Ionian. Finally grabbing Trieste as Turkey grabbed Vienna so I could build my fourth fleet just in time to still deny him the Ionian (another good guess).

Finally I lost Trieste and I was going to have to destroy a fleet. The end was near. But then France CD'd (who was on his way with my fourth fleet I think). I had lost. Germany was the only one without the draw toggle on at that point, and I was screaming at him in my little room. I was ready to hand it all over to Turkey, but Germany called, "DRAW".

Yah. Survived.

I was Germany, I feel like i played a good game, as did Turkey and Italy, I drew that because that CD affected the game way too much. I don't like it when Italy takes Munich... but i can normally deal with that as i did in this game, but i don't like France for CD'ing that... Good Game all!
cspieker (18223 D)

That was a good deal that you waited to draw until France was resigned, so he got no points. I would suspect though that he butted up against a real-life deadline. It seemed our game did go pretty long.

If I hadn't taken Munich, Turkey would have overrun me in 1906, and you and France would've probably been working together to thwart the Turkish solo. France's CD really would have hurt then!

When I saw the french CD, I was going to pull my fleets back from fighting vs Italy, and allow him to fight Germany instead, and stalemate germany In the middle.

We would have probably got our 3 way anyways. I was at 12, and my count was not adding up...lol
Stressedlines (1559 D)

I counted 4 more in Italy, at great effort though. and I am not sure I could have got moscow and warsaw back. ACtually, I was sure I would not because he would be getting freebies from france.

Italy said he would have pulled back, and I would have let him, and done the same so he had the freedom to challenge the german.

Buying a Truck
So, I'm thinking of buying a truck with my parents to help them with yard work. It will mostly be for picking up mulch and trees, bringing the lawnmowers for maintenance, and I'd like to use it to plow their driveway. I'm thinking a Ford Ranger from '95-'00. Thoughts?
