Re: Anatomy of a Critical Gunboat Turn: Austria, Autumn 01 - Spring 03

@Matticus13 I read your in game comment regarding 1901, but there was nothing concrete regarding my comment. I will try to give you a better idea of what i think is wrong with your choice of stabing Turkey instant. You should have a clear picture of your strategic options in this game and in the op...

Re: Anatomy of a Critical Gunboat Turn: Austria, Autumn 01 - Spring 03

Regarding the 1901 builds: Austria's fleet build is a strategic mistake on my opinion. It is mainly a high commitment build which makes sure that Italy for the rest of the game will be your enemy. Facing an aggressive Russia and Turkey this seems very optimistic to me. Yes, Italy was for sure no fr...

I'm all for the delay. 2 day phases would be my vote.

Re: Band/Musical Artist You Miss the Most

If I had to pick one, probably RATM. To see them live would be bucket list worthy for me.

Hi is this a game for high rated players? Would I qualify? Maybe pm me as I don’t usually check this forum.
As long as you have the :points: , you qualify as far as I know.

Band/Musical Artist You Miss the Most

Over time, we've lost some great ones for all kinds of reasons. If you could get a band back together, or hear a specific artist release new music one more time, who would it be?

So many to choose from for me... What's your pick?

I'm interested. If you want to make another game, I'd be fine with that.

Re: Looking For 1v1's To Practice

I'd play if you were looking for some feedback/insight while we enjoy a game. I'm not an expert by any means, but I can probably help you get the swing of things.

Re: Top 100 Round Robin Gunboat Series

Claesar: Thanks for setting this up for us :)

In the A+B column for Power SC totals, Germany has 5 SCs by mistake instead of France. Probably a formula mix up on cells ;)

Re: Travel Destinations

Here’s something I can share that will reestablish faith wonderful places still exist. I left UK a disillusioned young man for Africa at 24 & lost my heart. Africa then was beyond wonderful & the nature breathtaking. I lived there for over 12 years, but politics being what it is, a return to UK, th...

Fra might have to gamble on BUR more often going to Pic+Spain+MAO.
Also which discordchannel?
Usually the live game channel. Probably should be discussed more in the strategy channel, but the current Discord metagame is making it the default server.

Re: Next level of gunboat metagame

It's just real hard to make the right call on what to do in the fall because there's so many terrible fail states. The continuation into Mid-Atlantic is brutal and you can't protect against it unless you forgo a 2nd build. I find they rarely go for Brest, but God help you if you let them take it, a...

Re: Next level of gunboat metagame

If England NEVER opens to the channel, as France I'm probably thinking of going there once in a while but definitely not my main preference. If England ALWAYS opens to the channel, as France it still isn't necessarily huge to go there defensively; provided England opens Yor-Lvp instead of Yor-Wal, ...
