Spring 1907:
England - Another strong set of moves puts you in a fantastic position, with choices galore. My question to you is whether or not you prefer to play offensively and go after Berlin this phase, which is essentially guaranteed if you move from Kiel, or try to form a stronger line over the course of a couple of years by holding your position in Kiel and rearranging your fleets to protect it long-term. You still aren't a solo threat of any kind, but unless you completely collapse, you are well ahead of Germany.
France - Tough luck. At some point, I would have tried to guess at when he would break for the MAO, and spring would have been the phase to gamble. Oh well. This game went very poorly for you from the very beginning with some botched orders and some poor decisions, and as you look back on the game, hopefully you understand that, had you not made these mistakes, you probably would have been able to fend off Italy and potentially be powerful right now.
Germany - England certainly isn't giving you any breathing room, but at least you have Munich and at least Italy is far too preoccupied to challenge you in France even though you are grossly lacking in defense (that could come back to bite you soon enough). Nonetheless, you're at a heavy disadvantage against England and the odds of defeating him in this ongoing battle are slim to none. Hopefully you can hold him up for a period of time and convince him that you are a necessary piece in stopping the solo so he backs off.
Russia - About time they took St. Petersburg. Sometimes Russia just doesn't work out. I have that issue all the time. Austria outguessed you in taking Warsaw in 1902 and the dominos fell from there. Personally, I find that, all things being equal elsewhere on the map, Russia is nearly impossible to play successfully if England attacks or if Russia opens north (they have the same effect - E/R war). Case in point. I'm sure someone will disagree with that though.
Turkey - You continue to work yourself into prime solo position, but Italy is putting up a good fight. The misorder really doesn't hurt you since it wouldn't have worked anyway. You have a build coming (maybe two or even three depending on whether or not you gamble and whether or not you elect to try for Naples, but one is most likely) and you will hit that magical mark where players tend to begin to panic - 10 SCs. Something about double digits I guess. My recommendation to you is to discuss thoroughly with your TA exactly where the stalemate lines are that you need to cross in order to solo and try to reach them before England, Germany, and Italy (and maybe Austria too) reconcile with one another and create a resistance that holds you up at 16 or 17 centers.
Italy - Not a bad decision to go for the Adriatic. You may have the opportunity to build this year, which is something you've been waiting on for some time, assuming that Turkey doesn't take Naples. You could also force him to disband that fleet, which would essentially leave him in the same position he was a year ago, though with less defense of Tunis. You have your work cut out for you but you put yourself in the best possible position given the situation you're in during the phase, something you need to replicate for the next couple of years in order to have a chance.
Austria - I'm finding it odd that you took Ukraine from Galicia. I find Germany's moves this phase largely predictable and it was highly likely that you were going to lose Munich and get blocked out of Berlin, so why not assume you could block Russia out of Warsaw with Silesia and have a little bit more of a defense against Turkey? Vienna is a semi-stalemate, and with a strong defense, it would take him quite awhile to reach it. Instead, you'll be down to 2 centers either this year if Turkey takes a huge gamble or next.
