| dc330 Turkish EOG - Wladimir7 (Dec 04, 2010, 10:14 am) |
In the beginning, I was shocked at how unpopular Turkey was in the
bidding process. The Kemalist Republic seemed to be the best positioned
for defense in the corner as well as for growth via the Balkans. The
Middle East could easily be claimed and then attention could be sent
north and west. Seemed easy enough to me. When the bids came out and I
saw that it was the lowest ranked in the bids, my one goal was then to
show everyone how wrong they were.
Poland seemed like a logical ally and the PT alliance was huge for
me in the last playtest of this variant (except I was Poland). We both
have common enemies but different levels of conflict. If my dominance of
the Middle East was to be complete, I would have to keep the Soviets
out of Iran, annex Beirut from France and lock down the Suez from
outsiders. While Poland and I began working together against the USSR, I
felt comfortable being aggressive in the south. Nick was actually
really fun to communicate with and I felt bad having to move against the
Lebanon but it had to be done. The Soviets made a strong push into my
hinterlands while Poland advanced in the north.
Year 2 saw serious changes. The Soviets invaded Anatolia declaring
war while my ally in Poland left the Ukraine wide open. Instead he
strengthened his position in the Balkans while taking Romania. I could
no longer view my Polish ally as being on my side completely so I made a
plan with Papa Joe. Meanwhile I was communicating well with Britain and
France and trying to work something out with the two of them that would
ensure that France retreat his forces out of my hair. I think that was a
win-win-win (albeit a short-lived one for France). I was able to keep
good relations on my south as my northern front was beginning to take
shape.
Year 3 saw Poland finally move against our common enemy in Moscow
but it was after I had grown too concerned about my successful ally. He
was in a very dominant position since Germany was virtually
non-existent. I also took my favorite spot of the map, the Black Sea.
From here I would begin to aid the Soviets in their war against Poland
that occupied way too much time and resources for all powers involved.
The USSR gladly offered us Iran as a peace treaty which I found to be
fair. In my eyes. a mediocre corner Soviet was better for me than a
strong Poland possessing a corner position. I should also mention here
that Italy and I had excellent relations throughout this game which
enabled us both to build huge armies instead of clashing in the seas
like Italy and Turkey typically encounter. This coincided with slip-up
of Britain of leaving Suez without support. This is a good time to share
another of my interests in playing Turkey. It acts like a poor man's
Britain in that it can project power from the Atlantic to the Black.
There was one point in this game when I had a unit in Moscow and Morocco
at the same time. Crazy!
Alas, that was the apex of Turkish power. I made a pathetic attempt
at a stab of my Italian ally in the Med. On the one hand, I wanted to
take control of the Med while not completely stabbing him in the Balkans
where I still needed his help against a dug-in and well-defended
Poland. Shockingly, Italy did not like my attempt and built up quite an
arsenal aimed at thwarting any more Turkish attempts. He also supported
Poland against me leaving me at a real loss.
The last few years were tough on me in that I had to be pinned in by
the two other strong powers in my corner while knowing that I could
nothing against anyone any longer. It was like being an old bulldog. You
still want to be aggressive but you just don't have the energy or
ability to do so anymore.
In a game with 8 players, you hope for a better resolution than a
5-way draw. When the IPT draw didn't pass, I tried to get Poland and
Italy to work with me towards convincing Spain and Britain to accept the
more satisfying 3-way but that would have enabled one of us to become
quite a bit stronger than the others. When I thought more about it,
Turkey would probably not have received any of the spoils in a war
against Britain and Spain anyway so I went along with it. Sun and
Karsten should be happy to know that our dialogues helped in my
accepting a draw with you. 13 SC powers do not usually draw with 5 SC
powers but you both played strong the entire game. Even when things
looked dire for Karsten, he survived and eventually drew with the rest
of us. Sun was cagey the entire time as well and deserved to share in
this.
The game was designed well and I do believe the powers are fairly
equal. I still don't like the PU hostility that seems forced as well as
the French weakness but they can be overcome.
Thanks everybody for playing and I hope to come across you all again.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
And so, after 15 years, we bid adieu to our very first eliminated player. Ankara falls to Italy and the Sultan is left homeless. Many thanks to our noble emir. You don't know him (yet) but I will say that I very much appreciated his consistent good humor, even in the face of the unshakable A/I onslaught that was his downfall.
What else happened in Europe this year? Not much, actually. There was a vote, if you'll recall, on a draw for Austria, France and Germany. It didn't succeed. Final vote count was 3 YEA, 1 NAY, and two abstentions, which are equivalent to NAYS. We have a couple of new proposals, which we will get to shortly.
Meanwhile, our modest highlights:
. Our new Kaiser is still warming up, apparently. Embarrassed by my glowing
introduction, he betrayed opening jitters by attempting to jump his fleet from NAO to Edinburgh. Sorry, mein Herr. It's one space at a time in this game.
. France and Italy switch roles, kinda sorta. This time it was the Frenchman's turn to attack. Don't worry, though, the end result was the same, and our stand-off in the Western Med region remains intact.
. In the east, Austria, Germany and Russia play defense. Successfully.
And that's that.
RETREATS: None.
END OF GAME PROPOSALS: Two of them.
1. Turkish solo! Okay, this one represents a last favor to our departing Sultan. You can smile and proceed to option 2.
2. AFI draw. No, that's not the American Film Institute. Rather, a proposal that Austria, France and Italy should be awarded a draw.
NEXT DEADLINE: See below for the full status
table. The nutshell version is that Italy needs to submit a build order. I'll take that whenever you're ready, but no later than Monday, December 6,, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern US time.
Cheers,
Chris

Spring 1911 orders will be due next Thursday at 6pm CST (9 December).
Remember to vote for the 3-way AEF.
As a side note, France has confirmed that he is here. The deadline was very short last time out and that caught him unawares. I apologize that my short deadline might have impacted the game (but seemingly did not).

| DC 345: F1903 Adjudication - AceRimmer (Dec 03, 2010, 3:42 pm) |
Fall 1903 comes bouncing in. Fourteen different units (41%) bounce in seven different locations, and only one of those is a self-standoff. The upshot? A lot of nobody going nowhere. Only five units actually move:
Adaria: F ECh ??? Lon
Hembria: A Pru ??? War
Itea: A Fin ??? StP
Trigspor: F GoL ??? TyS
Zonotrichia: A Rum ??? Arm
All other units hold their ground, except for the Were-Hamsters. There are two retreats for the Were-Hamsters:
Were-Hamster A St Petersburg can retreat to Livonia, Moscow, or off the board.
Were-Hamster A Warsaw can retreat to Livonia, Moscow, Ukraine, Galicia, or off the board.
It???s also a season for miscommunications with Trigspor. Adaria offers support into Rome, but it???s not accepted. (DRE maintains its two centers!) Trigspor supports Zonotrichia into Bulgaria, but Warren takes a ferry to Armenia instead (Ankara is in peril!).
John???s retreats will be due on Monday (3:00 CST / 21:00 GMT).
Assuming he keeps his units on the map, the Winter adjustments will be:
Adaria: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
DRE: Supp 2 Unit 2 Build 0
Dulceria: Supp 3 Unit 3 Build 0
Hembria: Supp 7 Unit 6 Build 1
Itea: Supp 3 Unit 2 Build 1
The_One_Who_Will_Win: Supp 1 Unit 3 Remove 2
Trigspor: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Zonotrichia: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
I???m going to go out on a limb here and make Winter 1903 due on Monday, too! Same time. If Mr. Falcon or Mr. Penner request, I will push adjustments back to Tuesday, but I think we can handle it.

Hi guys,
the game has has reached its conclusion as the BGI three-way draw
proposal has met universal approval. For the sake of a clean
end-status map, I'm now also attaching what would have been the
winter results.
Please submit your EOG report no later than Wednesday 6 PM. I'll
then compile these and add my own two cents. Next to your own
account of this particular contest, I'd appreciate your frank
input regarding the variant. Map design, balance, victory criteria
and such... Last game stimulated an interesting discussion and
prompted me to go back to the drawing-board, resulting in v1.5.
I'd like to thank you guys for being such pleasant and reliable
crew. Congratulations to everyone for seeing it out to the end of
this short game. I look forward to your EOGs!
Cheers,
Charles

Hi Gang,
Good news is that I have six sets of orders in hand. Bad news is that the missing set belongs to Germany. This is his third strike. He's out. Too bad, because he's a great guy when he's involved, not to mention he's played a pretty good game. On the other hand, without the NMR's, we might be much closer to a conclusion.
I will not put the board leader into civil disorder. That would ruin the whole game. Accordingly, I've begun looking for a replacement. I will recruit privately for a day or two first. If that's not successful, I'll post the opening to the DC board. I will allow the replacement to submit orders for Fall 1915. No sense penalizing the person doing us a favor -- that's my
feeling.
You may change your orders or your votes up until the time I have a new set of German orders submitted. That could be an hour or a few days.
Cheers,

FINALLY.......
I promise this is not the norm for me.
There are two retreats due tomorrow evening, one from Italy and one from England (see below). Both of them have only one option, HOWEVER, I will not automatically retreat them. I have officially stopped doing that due to some "issues" during an earlier game. Both retreats have the option of going OTB (off the board) as well, and remember if I don't receive a retreat order your unit will be disbanded! Also note that if you sent conditional retreats with your spring orders I have them in the bank, and they will of course be honoured.

| DC 341: F1905 Groups of Three - AceRimmer (Dec 02, 2010, 11:25 am) |
Just one retreat this season:
German Army in Ruhr may retreat to Kiel or off the board.
In accordance with my house rules, I am auto-adjudicating this one to Kiel; however, Catie can change the order to 'off the board' if she prefers. In that case, she'd have a build coming (which could be in Kiel anyway), and I would process her corrected retreat along with the Winter adjustments. That being the case, I'd advise other players assume that Catie will in fact disband and rebuild, just in case.
Winter adjustments are due tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:00 a.m. CST (16:00 GMT). Orders are needed from Austria, Italy, Russia, and Turkey (as Italy seizes Trieste from Austria, and Russia seizes Ankara from Turkey). Curiously, except for Austria, everybody's center count is an exact multiple of three. Numerologists everywhere rejoice.

Hi guys,
ever wondered why the Polish national anthem's called "Poland Has
Not Yet Perished"? Well, it's because Polish history has this
knack of producing pretty dire situations in which you need an
upbeat song to rallye the nation. Far from home, I dare say Polish
soldiers are currently in need of a hearty song. For in a matter
of two years, the territory governed by Poles has shrunk to but a
third of the realm's former size. In any case, Poland has
recovered from worse throughout its history, so who knows what the
future might hold...?
Elsewhere, it appears that the Spanish Civil War has been finally
decided. The Republicans now control all of Spain and have been
recognised as the legitimate Spanish government by most
governments. This means that Spain's diplomatic clout has
considerably increased (i.e. there are no DP restrictions on
Republican DPs going forward).
If the Nationalist press organs are to believed, we're about to
see Nationalist volunteers in the East (much as was historically
the case in WW2). See the below press submission.
Furthermore, another BGI three-way draw proposal has been put on
the table. Get your votes in, gentlemen.
Sorry for keeping you waiting for the adjucation. Adjustments are
due tomorrow, 6 PM CET.
Cheers,
Charles

| Well, I'm back from my travels. We have a deadline on Friday for Fall 1903. However, I already have six sets of orders. Just two more needed. I'll adjudicate earlier if all of you (and I mean all of you) tell me to. Otherwise, Friday isn't that far away. [Reply] |

My congratulations to Aidan as well. Excellent play and a deserved solo!
Although I wish I'd been able to hang in there and finished a bit better, I enjoyed the game. Thanks to Jerry for GMing and to the rest of you for the challenging play.
