Sorry Fortress. It was pretty sleazy to betray you there. I was planning on drawing eventually either way I just didnt want a bunch of fluff to get part of the draw because truly there were only 3 contenders in this fight. Germany was the 4th but things took a turn for the worst for them mostly due to a quickly weakened England and a very strong France

its fine :p. To be honest, the only suprise was that you didn't stab me earlier :p

I kind of agree with you, Germany got sandwhiched between me and France.

EOG is coming up right now

As Austria, I was dead as soon as Italy went for the Bohemian Crusher. Defense from that strategy demands so many units that I knew Russia and Turkey would jump in too. But it's a suicide strategy for Italy too: having used three units to attack me, he left his south unguarded and lost miserably.

^ true. To use the opening you need to have full trust with Turkey.

I am kind of suprised i did so well. I started as a Russia with no builds (darn misorders!), and ended up drawing with skilled opennents

sigh, did ya hear what he just said about me. man that brings a tear to my eye. I'm sure many would disagree with that compliment but thank you Fortress.

well, to be completely fair, i was probably going to stab you that next season :p. Unless something big happened in the north.

:p

Wow Sarge, how come you voted draw on that one? You had a chance to stuff it through. I might've made them work a little more for it before I drew that. Though maybe you just couldn't get that excited about 70 piddly points? ;-)

^ i was kind of wondering that to. I think, working together, we could've made the game last a bit longer, and possibily France might of soloed. Some explanation would eb nice

Thanks for the compliments.

I drew for a number of reasons:
1. The game had dragged for a while, mostly because some douche bag refused to press ready.
2. It dragged so long (because of point 1) that I couldn't afford or be bothered to waste another 1 hour + trying to solo.
3. Turkey and Russia played well enough so I thought it would be nice to draw rather than push the game further and possibly win simply because they might resign.
4. I don't really care about the points - I just wanted to play a fun game. I had about as much fun as I was going to get and it would not have been fun for me to keep playing the game rather to the point that I would not have had some dinner ready when my partner got home from work :)

^ just for the record, i would not have resigned.

but thanks for the compliments, though i think i did so well simply because England and Germany were not all that good.

I thought the talent was pretty well spread across all the other powers really. I don't think England and Germany can be any more singled out than Italy or Austria.

That's kind of what I thought.

Why TF did Russia go to Baltic for instead of a guaranteed Sweden in 1901? Misorder?

Yes. One can only wonder.

Or one can ask! Hey Fortess_Door, what happened there? Brain fart?

my main reason for England is because he did not go for St. Petersburg until it was too late to do anything about it.

Germany i am annoyed with because he resigned, but still decided to keep the Skagerrak fleet instead of at least making France ifght for Edinburgh

yes, going to the Batlic was a HORRIBLE MISORDER --_--. You should've heard me when i saw thsoe results

and France, i am just curious, why did you go for Norway, which i was easily able to block, and not Berlin, which i could NOT have blocked?
