| DC 413 Draw Passes! - TheFinalCountdown (Apr 02, 2012, 11:12 am) |
Thanks to the GM and all the players. It was a fun one.
Here are my thoughts on the game...
I opened on initially friendly terms with everyone around me, but quickly started stabbing. I violated a truce in the Black Sea early on and used it to gain an upper hand over Russia. I was working well with Germany and I saw the opportunity to expand into Russia and Austria with his help. I had been talking for a while with France and I was convinced in 1902-1903 that I would see the French fleets in the Med (if you recall he had 2 there and Italy was not positioned to counter) move against Italy. It was on those pretenses (and believing that Italy and Austria were not allied but merely neutral) that I stabbed Austria to grab Serbia. Unfortunately, the French attack on Italy that I was promised and the Austrian/Italian alliance I didn't believe in were both untrue. At that point, with no allies remaining on the board and Germany retreating to fight his own battles, I was left scrambling to defend. I made a few bad guesses but in the end, I couldn't hold off the AI attack with nobody really attacking them on the backside.
Apologies to Austria and Russia for the stabs, but alas, you both survived and I did not...
Best,Matt

From the outside perspective, it seemed like there was a lot of shifting of alliances s it was sort of hard to keep track of what was really going on. I think it was about winter of 1902 that I mentally made my prediction of a strong finish for Germany and/or Turkey. And I was dead wrong. Still, both played well, and in my mind this game will always be "The one where Germany took Sevastapol in 1902." As has been mentioned, I think that rogue unit had a big impact on the early game. If nothing else, it developed the blood feud between Germany and Russia that essentially undid them both.
I think turkey had a strong showing, but seemed unable to gain a solid alliance.
Germany was ambitious, perhaps overly so, as it appears he was attacking Russia and England both when he was stabbed by France.
England did fine. His downfall was the French F Bre-Eng in Spring 02, which I'm not certain he could have predicted. once the channel fell, he had to play defensively, and thus lost the ground he had gained.
Russia started out well, but just got dog-piled. Not sure if that was a diplomatic failing, or if it was just "one of those things" where the stars aligned against him. I remember an email from him with his F02 moves being "cautiously optimistic" about the game. That was the turn he was attacked by all four of his neighbors. However, with grit and determination, he managed to eke out a survival, outlasting every other power besides the victors. That says volumes.
Austria and Italy, they were one of the very few (maybe only) alliances that lasted all game. I think this was their success. I am surprised that the two powers with so many combined NMRs managed to win, and frankly, that sort of irks the GM side of me.  But at the same time, they did do a good job of setting up a defense against France, and they deserved the draw.
France played the game well, obviously. He certainly earned his lion's share in the draw, and came very close to soloing. The last couples rounds were sort of guessing games, and those are tough ones to call especially as a player.
Congrats to the 3 draw participants! You were a good group to work with! I'm sure I'll see some of you in round two!

Friday is tomorrow! Good Friday in fact. What better day to have some good results? Or by which to submit some good orders? They don't have to be great, so there's no reason to fret. In keeping w the theme of the day, good should be sufficient.

Thank you, Cory, and side-kick Garry for a splendid job GMing! Always appreciated and never enough thank yous!
Congratulations Tim! Very well played, indeed.
I was all at sea this game, very nervous about playing in this tournament where I traditionally do so badly. I didn’t communicate enough, wasn’t decisive
enough, and cocked it up right-royally. It was fun in Munich, however, and almost fun becoming King of Iberia! Paris is as good a place as any to end your days!

Thank you all for the game. It was very fun….but I guess when you win you can usually say that right?
Cory, thank you for volunteering your time to GM in the WB…(you too Gary)
Let’s start with Mike in Austria….I wanted an alliance with you right from the start. Yes I said the same thing to Russia and for a time I had a fragile alliance with both
but even a fragile one is better than none at all. Mike had some ordering issues and Russia kept making all the right moves so I threw in with Russia. It was like the whole board was pushing us together though I was fighting all the way. I do not remember
too much of Austria going down…Germany sent units south and east and west, I knew long term that was going to be a problem for him but it kept Austria and Russia from really getting any momentum which is what I needed and it spread German armies all over the
board.
Andrew, when those 01 build orders did not post…that sent Italy west and then I could pretty much do anything I needed from there….i sent all my fleets west and picked off
Italian centers when I needed them. I have a bit of experience playing Turkey so I did whatever it took to get as many fleets out to MAO as I could as fast as I could. The land war was not going anywhere….G/A/T/R were all bouncing around for a bit but that
was OK I was more interested in getting to MAO. I think this was when Maslow and I decided that he and I should take the game over and go for a two way draw…looking back…we never actually supported one another’s moves but I worked against him diplomatically
as I am sure he did to me….it looked like we were the guys to beat….until he attacked England. On the next turn he retreated from that attack. Maslow, I think that was your downfall….you had now attacked every one of your neighbors and rebuilding anything
to fight me was going to be very difficult until I was very large and close to the lines. Had you sustained the pressure on England things might have been different….
I think it was only a couple of turns later as Germany moved in on Russia for the kill that I approached Scott and suggested we move in on Germany and knock this down to a
2 player race….i thought if I could get England to land an army or two that all the pressure to my north would collapse and I could make a big push. England said he would do that if I surrendered Iberia….so I let him pick me apart over there at a pace I was
comfortable with while I pushed armies north. The solo bid looked to be stopped and I thought it was until the vote issues started to come up...Maslow said he would never vote for anything that did not include him in the draw. I took this to England and suggested
we move in such a way that he gets the message that it will be E/T or he will be eliminated. In the meantime I supported England to SPA and we attempted to take Italy out….Germany worked on Russia while holding me south….I picked up a second chance to get
a solo when I convinced Scott to send a strong message to Germany about E/T….i played my hand to Germany but England needed to show Germany that he meant business too. I suggested that England put 4 units on KIE and that BUR-MUN be the move to do just that.
I knew that England would be taking MUN with German support but it was imperative that England use BUR for the attack….this left MAR with no defense…when I saw that I new I would/could win.
I know I told E/G that I was not interested in a solo because of the target I would have in round two….but one of my arguments to Scott on why to cut Germany out of the draw
was that we would be eliminating a great player from contention for the tournament. Ultimately that is I why I went for the solo on the second chance; eliminating competition for the overall prize was the intention.
A lot of things happened that I forgot to mention I am sure….Maslow turning Russia against me unexpectedly though Brian you mentioned that you were upset with me never leaving
the Black Sea…so it was probably not too difficult a decision on your part.
Thanks for a good game, I have a lot of respect for each of you and can’t wait to share a board with you again. Good luck to each of you in round number two.

the Black Sea…so it was probably not too difficult a decision on your part.
Thanks for a good game, I have a lot of respect for each of you and can’t wait to share a board with you again. Good luck to each of you in round number two.

| DC 413 Austrian thoughts - ConradW (Mar 31, 2012, 1:12 am) |
Well I give my "half way into a nice cab" broad perspective.
Normally if I have Austria my sole goal in the early game is to get as much pressure on Turkey as possible. There's just no getting around it! If Turkey survives to the middle game he'll bite, even if you have the till death alliance. However on the sole basis of an email address to the alma mater of more decades than I'll count basis, I thought - what the heck I'll propose an AT.
Without reviewing the game history here's my broad recall:
I lost my nerve on the AT and thought to get Italy into Greece, that was the first of the great AI NMR run... I believe I tried the AT once more but I recall that cost me Rumania.
None the less AI got it together to stagger through to what is either country's only reasonable probability optimum outcome - the AIX draw
Regarding G and R. Now look, 1901 Mun - Boh - I almost never use this youthful expression, but - SERIOUSLY. Now if it were negotiated as in "I'll cover Gal in the Fall - death to Russia!", then OK I'll use that to get even tighter on T. As a surprise - no. Now my support to Sev of a German army was at the point back when I still had faint AT gleam and well heck get that german army away from me. And all was to the good, the great GR feud was all to my liking. Not much later I tried coordinating my moves with Germany, so there would be no issues and he promptly blocked my move to Ukr. That was that. Each wanted to survive longer the other and Russia and I were able to work together on that basis. I am usually pretty good about carrying through on those, as long as the other party takes direction well
France was an indirect factor to me. There is clearly no reason for France not to flatter Austria in the early game, an Austria survival to the middle game is almost always beneficial to France, a far more favorably situated country> Yet the AF can end happily and so it did for us.
So particular thanks to our GM who, even if he didn't let me sleep until 1 PM EST and still get my moves in, You did a great job and I appreciated the 'headlines'. And to my ally across the pond, for various reasons we left each other hanging with the NMRs, mine were due to life throwing too much at me as were yours I'm sure, perhaps we have some record for most 2 player misses in a three way draw.
Thanks ALL

Hey all,
At long last, the war is over. A Three-way draw is awarded to France, Austria, and Italy. Russia is granted a survival. Interestingly, The draws have come incredibly close to passing on several occassions, in fact each turn I believe the draw(s) were thwarted by only a single vote, which was occassionally the automatic NO assigned to an NMR. Congrats to the winners, and thanks to all the players. I hope it was enjoyable for you. I'd love to have you all share your EoG perspectives.
I'm sure I'll see some of you in round two, either as your GM once again, or as a fellow player. Best of luck to you all!

| DC 413 France EOG Statement - landru428 (Mar 31, 2012, 12:42 am) |
My girlfriend is calling this "Tolstoy's EOG Statement" Sorry it's so verbose. I hope everyone writes one. I'd really love to get a different perspective on the game. Anyway, here goes.
Never let France open up with 3 builds. And if he does, please try to stop him. Germany and England were so focused on Russia that I was able to slowly grow.
The beginning of this game was all about Germany's bold foray into the east. I always love moves that create unexpected diplomatic opportunities, and BOH then GAL certainly made things interesting! Germany was talking to me about his alliance with Russia, but that turned out to all be a ruse that I wasn't in on. He kept asking me to attack England which I was reticent to do. Ultimately Germany and England had a plan to kill Russia which I was left out of. Being left out and lied to told me everything I needed to know about where I stood. I wish I had known about their plan to hit Russia from the beginning because my original intent was to go after Italy due to his first round NMR. We could have found ourselves in my favorite scenario, the Western Triple, except they didn't invite me to the party.
The next significant moment for France came when I decided to violate the DMZ and take the Channel. England was understandably upset, but my whole intention was not anti-English. I realized that without a boat in the north I would be irrelevant and left out of whatever alliances were forming. My intention was to have something to negotiate with no matter who emerged as the dominant power. What I ended up doing was pissing England off so much that he never forgave me.
The game changing moment came when England built F LVP at the end of 02. At that point Italy and I were facing off in the Med and it looked like we wouldn't be able to untangle ourselves. England's F LVP enabled me to make an impassioned plea to Italy to make peace. Alliances were forming (EG+T)and we were being left out and isolated. We were able to settle our differences and take control of the game. Italy and I turned the other way and the game assumed the shape it would ultimately end with.
There was another strange moment in SP03. Germany actually did what he said he was going to do, which I wasn't expecting. If I had known I might have taken him up on his offer of alliance at that point, but having been lied to every season before that I figured he couldn't be trusted. This further solidified the game structure.
By the end of 03 Germany was surrounded by enemies and at risk of losing a center so he did something unexpected that saved me. He thought we was saving himself by one-dotting England in Norway. The result was that England didn't get a critical build and was on the defensive against me from that point on.
All this time I was offering England peace, but we were caught in a 'you first' loop. My offer was sincere, but he must have felt that his position was strong or he would have at least considered it. I wonder if he would have made a different decision had he known he'd be the first power to be eliminated. I suppose the issue was still in doubt until F06 when I guessed right and took a second home center from him. That was his end.
Germany made a late offer of alliance and even offered to help me solo. The solo offer sounded like an appeal to my vanity, but I was still interested. Ultimately I felt that he was too good a player and if I gave him even the smallest chance of getting back into the game I'd regret it. And so the stalemate line formed.
I might have been able to solo had I taken advantage of the NMRs that Italy and Austria were prone to, but I don't regret it. It's not the same to win just because your opponent gets distracted and fails to submit orders. I'm happy with the 3 way and just wish I could have convinced Austria to split a 2 way with me. No offense to Italy who was an excellent ally and extremely trustworthy, but he was sandwiched between Austria and I. I was too far ahead by the time Austria and I started talking about it. I should have brought it up sooner, but I have a feeling it wouldn't have mattered.
And that's my piece. I hope others take a moment to recap the game from their perspectives. Good game and best of luck in round 2!
Andrew

| DC404 1907 Fall results - RickHunter (Mar 30, 2012, 7:16 pm) |
Another interesting year. I do not see orders from England; the Prime Minister probably wishes he just sent in the same ones as last time. A quick reminder to have prelims for Spring/Fall is a good habit.
The Germans finally land in York on a Russian convoy. Piedmont still is at peace as France and Italy have other fish to fry. The Turks take Arm, but without the offered Russian assistance. Meanwhile, Italy lands in Syr. The Turkish forces in the Balkans are dealt another setback by Austria.
One retreat (1907 Autumn) is required by Monday, 4/02 5pm ET.
Turkey - A Rum can retreat to Gal or OTB.
Builds/Retreats (1907 Winter) will be due Tuesday, 4/03 5pm ET.

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."

Yeah you're actually right. I don't know why but I seemed to think he had another season to sneak back into a center.

| DC 409: Winter 1910 Non-Adjudication - AceRimmer (Mar 30, 2012, 2:32 pm) |
I call it a "non-adjudication", because there's nothing to adjudicate.
France and Germany refuse to build. Keep your map from the Fall 1910 adjudication; it's still good.
Don't forget, there's a proposal for an FG draw. Votes due with your Spring 1911 orders.
By the way, to update those other games... DC 413 was declared a draw, and DC 408 ended in a Turkish solo. Our game and DC 411 (which looks very 3-way-drawish) are the only ones left going.
