Look at my France A01 in the game that just ended: gameID=113942

I wanted to keep the fleet in MAO so I could push north more quickly. I haven't seen this kind of convoy done too often (if at all?), but the result is that it doesn't even seem fair how much of a quick advantage you end up with on England.

It's risky though, Mapu, as Germany has an opportunity to take advantage. Vaftrudner did that to my England in a live game once, he soloed in like 1907. I still remember this game.

Still didn't get any English dots until 1906...not sure how much of an advantage that is.

Yeah the jugg really allowed that strategy to succeed as well.

If Germany hadn't cut the EC support in S04 causing me to divert temporarily toward him (I think this must have been a misorder by him because it was so ill-advised but we can find out in EOG), you would have been dead by 05.

Can you find that game, Lando or would it be too hard to find?

That isn't good opening for France. Maybe with Marseille - Spain but you are too much dependent of Germany in the scenario.I was thinking about it many times but it's very dificult to run it...

I am fairly busy atm and I suspect it may be time consuming to find. Vaftrudner has not played in a while so his profile would be the place to check... not sure exactly when the game would have been.

I think once I saw Germany go to Ruhr with me in Burg in 01, I figured it would be fun enough to try it.

Here's that game I think: gameID=55176

Ahaha good find. I guess I was wrong about the 1908 thing....

It's possible if you are lucky to have a bad German player. Germany needs to attack France immediatly when France opens like this.

Interesting opening if circumstances present themselves. I think this has more promise in full press though. Too many unknowns in gunboat. A smart Germany would bounce in Belgium anyway and then plow through Burgundy when France only gets one build.

I think SD just called josunice a bad player :P

Why do you think so?

No reason - I thought so. Another moron on the site.

I'm sorry you don't understand, but given our past interactions, I suspect you don't actually care and are just looking to waste my time. This conversation is considered resolved.

You should be sorry about being so stupid not to understand what somebody talks about. And then posting retarded conclusions based on that missunderstanding.

Mr. Grumpypants, it's understandable why ava made the statement/joke he did. You said: "It's possible if you are lucky to have a bad German player."

Since Germany in this game was josunice, that's why ava posted, with the emoticon: "I think SD just called josunice a bad player :P"

Josunice wasn't Germany in the game I was talking about. But that's too much for you to realize it seems.

You are slow now. But you are fast when you want to post your retarded jokes. This conversation is considered resolved.

Oh I see -- in the game Lando talked about, your old friend MichMan was Germany. Is that it?

Ladies, settle down.

Split has a point - the Germany in the game Mapu posted appears to not be willing to accept a "balance of power" and instead is complacent with being a sidekick and it ultimately cost him.

Wow... I'm away for a day and get slammed... Boy am I feeling the love... I did press to get holl and bel, but england continued to press me while he got back doored by france and then Russia over-extended to stop me as well. I misplayed my east with russia (well done fair). I just thought you were going to pull back... I thought painfully wrong. I submit my mistake was addressing Russia, not reacting to France....

Lando, side kick to who?

I was not refering to you
