DC297; Fall 1913 Results - dipknight   (Apr 08, 2010, 7:50 pm)
GM’s remarks:
 
The German Solo EGP fails . . . . However, Germany still achieves the Solo Victory with 18 Supply Centers.  Congratulations Joe on your victory in Round 1, of Winter Blitz 2010.
 
I have not asked for End-of-Game Statements from any one that was eliminated earlier; however, everyone has elected to remain in the distribution.  So, if you all (including you guys that were eliminated) would put together your EoG Statement, I am sure that there would be some interest.  Please remember that people are going to be interested in earlier action such as why you decided to go the direction you did at the beginning of the game.
 
Best of Luck in Round 2 of Winter Blitz 2010!

Congratulations on the solo Joe and well done for surviving Eric. Not sure what to congratulate you on Will, as it didn't come out for you this time, but I guess your over-all persistence seemed head and shoulders above everyone elses in this game. Thanks to Darryl for GMing and good luck to you all.

DC297; Fall 1913 Results (Winter Blitz) jhack16 Apr 11, 06:09 am
Hi Guys,


Thanks to Darryl for running a smooth and efficient game, well done, nice job!


EOG


Tried to get started with Joe/France but he stabbed straight away, so came to agreement with Eric which ran on an off basis until the end.


In throwing in my lot with Eric I felt I had to take on Russia, which meant bouncing Derek out of Sweden.


Will and I had previous history, but we managed to put this behind us and worked well together initially.


A key point was Eric turning against me, which meant I had to concentrate on attacking him to the detriment of my Eastern ambitions.


Then Will stabbed, and things looked grim. Eric and I worked to prevent an Austrian solo, and we were able to slow Wills progress,


In the end I couldn't have won if Eric and Will had stood together, but the dynamics between them meant that Eric sacrificed himself. I had had a two way deal with Will, but right near the end he switched again and I decided to go for the Solo if the opportunity arose.


So thanks to everyone for an enjoyable game.


Joe

GM’s remarks:
 
No substitute has been identified for England.  Standard disband rules will apply if no disband orders are received from England.  If you need more information on the “Standard” disband rules please ask.  Although, in this particular case, the retreat comes first.  If no retreat orders are received, the retreat will be disbanded first.

Gentlemen,
 
Greece army in Macedonia retreated to Athens.  Also, Persian moves have been corrected.  Also, somehow between last night and today my computer lost the RP file, so I had to manually recreate the map.  I'm positive I got it right, but if you see an error, let me know.
 
Also, I'm heading out tomorrow morning and will be gone until Sunday.  So don't get worried if I don't send a reciept for your orders.  If you don't get one by Monday afternoon, try again.
 
Deadline is 4/15 at 5 PM.
 
Regards!
-Maslow

"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."

Thanks everybody. A topsy-turvy game indeed. I enjoyed going from foiled first strategy, to board lead, to battered back, to governemnt in exile. All fun parts of the game if played in the right spirit. Good luck in the second round, all!

Sam,

If you want us to keep playing ad infinitum, could you be so kind to enlighten us on where the stalemate line is not consolidated, from your point of view? I'm disbanding NAF to show that even if you put a fleet on Spa, cutting MAO to get NAF, you still won't be in a position to get an 18th sc.

Christine,

Should Ray agree, could you accept to consider that the sets of orders sent this turn by France and Russia, including the DIAS votes, will be valid for every next turn (with exception of disbanded F NAF) until the game ends?

Thanks,

Dc 277: All We are saying.. - psychosis1973   (Apr 08, 2010, 2:35 pm)
I echo comments about the GM - well done Alan!!

Interesting game, albeit it died a bit of a death towards the end. The game started for me with Britain offering the world if I joined him in attacking Spain. As Spain was the most notorious player on the site, I quickly decided to go with this, making a peace with Italy and Germany, my other nearest neighbours. The campaign against Spain went well but Germany and Italy started getting twitchy and turned on me...I managed to hold them off until Spain was finished, at which point the original British player left the game. Fortunately, it was around then that German and Italy were being pressured from the east, so they both wanted to cut a deal with me, and as a consequence I chose to go after the new British player, with a good degree of success. This put me in a good position to stab Germany and Italy - somewhat bizarrely, this was shortly followed by an offer from the German player to cede most of his centres to me in return for a survival and allowing him to go after/frustrate Poland - I'm not sure what went on there in the early part of the game, but Isaac was clearly pissed at Joey!

Overall, I guess I could have made a run at a solo - I made a superficial attempt with a limited stab of Poland - however a solo would have been very unlikely - there was no way I could have taken on both Egypt and Poland and I was rapidly reaching a stalemate against Poland anyway.

I think I was lucky in the game in having a strong, determined early ally, and the other subsequent twists and turns in the game fell kindly for me.

Thanks to the other players - hope to see you in future games!

Michael

I too salute Alan, job well done!

I got a good deal with Joey initially, and that stuck throughout the game. My part boiled down into pretty much nothing towards the end, so this kind of draw was probably the best I could hope for. I was slightly worried that I would get sidwinded by a combination of Poland and Egypt, but France surging ahead made that pretty unlikely.

Nice game, though the amount of communication did drop dramatically the last few years.

dang. i would like to thank everyone who participated for a great game, especially Alan for running it!


it was kind of a strange game, started out with a lot of action and negotiation, then once a few of the players were eliminated and a stalemate between poland ukraine egypt and france was obvious, the negotiation pretty much stopped because i think everyone was expecting the eog proposals to pass easily.


then the french turned on me, and if mike would have waited maybe two more turns i probably would have had half my units moved from the border because i was getting ready to help mikael fight mick. then even stranger, mick and i became allies trying to stop mike from getting a solo.


i am kind of disappointed, i think the fight between us four would have been pretty exciting, but i am also glad because i was getting relly paranoid about mikael and mike, and still worried about mike in france.


good game though to all players, looking forward to playing with some of you again.

[quote:a4846fd5e6] Hello Everyone,

All we are saying is give peace a chance. Its been 12 years since Modern Europe has fallen under the black cloud of war, and today those clouds have finally lifted.

A Four way draw is shared between les Frenchman, Michael Thompson, the Pole Joey Pedicini, The Ukrainian Mikael Johansson, and the Egyptian Mick Cox.

This was a great game to run -- only a few missing orders throughout the entire game and the interest was pretty high throughout the whole thing. I'd still like to see Michael Thompson try to go for the solo but its too late for that now. I'd like to see end of game statements from all the players, if at all possible.

I hope to see all of you again

dc318 - Winter Blitz 2010 Fall 1902 results - z93blom   (Apr 08, 2010, 1:38 pm)
Blitzers,

The Germans finally seem to grab a hold of the North-western sphere, as they march into Paris. In the south-eastern arena Austria manage to hold on to a single center due to a misorder by the Russian. Turkey's the big winner this season - they manage to grab two new centers, and with their missed build last year they are now on track to build three new units.


Orders due:
Austria: Remove 1
Germany:  Build 1
Italy: Build 1
Turkey:  Build 3


Next turn: Winter 1902 Adjustments

I too salute Alan, job well done!

I got a good deal with Joey initially, and that stuck throughout the game. My part boiled down into pretty much nothing towards the end, so this kind of draw was probably the best I could hope for. I was slightly worried that I would get sidwinded by a combination of Poland and Egypt, but France surging ahead made that pretty unlikely.

Nice game, though the amount of communication did drop dramatically the last few years.

DC 312 Fall 1902 adjucation - untitled36   (Apr 08, 2010, 8:40 am)
Hey all,

Lots of bounces this turn, and very little movement. In the West we have France putting up a great fight for his homeland, and even ousting the english from picardy, but they also lose MAO, which certainly compromises the French position.

In the East, we have a tidy little rotation in the balkans with no net center change from it, as Turkey retakes Bulgaria, Austria goes to RUmania and Russia slips in to Serbia.

In fact, no net supply center changes happen anywhere on the board. However, Russia still gets a build because of the destroyed fleet from the spring (remember that?). So besides that, it'll be a quiet winter for the troops. But before we get to Winter, we have Autumn or Late Fall, and two retreats need to be taken care of. English A Pic can retreat to Bel or OTB; French F Mao can retreat to Bre, Por, Spa (nc), Spa (sc), Wes, Naf, or otb. Well, and of course if either of those units retreats OTB, it would result in builds. My totals at the bottom of the email are given as if those units retreat to an on-board location.

Retreats and builds due tomorrow by 15:00 GMT (that's 9:00 AM for those lucky enough to live in the same time zone as me!). Get em in!

Dc 298 Fall 1913 Adjucation - untitled36   (Apr 08, 2010, 8:26 am)
Hey all,

Looking at realpolitik, this turn is a real mess, with dotted lines and solid lines going all over the place. But in actuality, it's pretty simple. Italy and Russia keep progressing slowly forward. England and France put up the best individual defenses they can, but are still driven back. Seven(!) supply centers switch hands this season.

In all that chaos, we have only one retreat. I auto retreated F Hol to Hel. And everyone has adjustments due, so I'll see you all by 9:00 AM CST tomorrow (15:00 GMT). Have a great day!

Now to the moves:

Hello Everyone,

All we are saying is give peace a chance. Its been 12 years since Modern Europe has fallen under the black cloud of war, and today those clouds have finally lifted.

A Four way draw is shared between les Frenchman, Michael Thompson, the Pole Joey Pedicini, The Ukrainian Mikael Johansson, and the Egyptian Mick Cox.

This was a great game to run -- only a few missing orders throughout the entire game and the interest was pretty high throughout the whole thing. I'd still like to see Michael Thompson try to go for the solo but its too late for that now. I'd like to see end of game statements from all the players, if at all possible.

I hope to see all of you again

it was kind of a strange game, started out with a lot of action and negotiation, then once a few of the players were eliminated and a stalemate between poland ukraine egypt and france was obvious, the negotiation pretty much stopped because i think everyone was expecting the eog proposals to pass easily.


then the french turned on me, and if mike would have waited maybe two more turns i probably would have had half my units moved from the border because i was getting ready to help mikael fight mick. then even stranger, mick and i became allies trying to stop mike from getting a solo.


i am kind of disappointed, i think the fight between us four would have been pretty exciting, but i am also glad because i was getting relly paranoid about mikael and mike, and still worried about mike in france.

Hello Everyone,

All we are saying is give peace a chance. Its been 12 years since Modern Europe has fallen under the black cloud of war, and today those clouds have finally lifted.

A Four way draw is shared between les Frenchman, Michael Thompson, the Pole Joey Pedicini, The Ukrainian Mikael Johansson, and the Egyptian Mick Cox.

This was a great game to run -- only a few missing orders throughout the entire game and the interest was pretty high throughout the whole thing. I'd still like to see Michael Thompson try to go for the solo but its too late for that now. I'd like to see end of game statements from all the players, if at all possible.

I hope to see all of you again

I echo comments about the GM - well done Alan!!

Interesting game, albeit it died a bit of a death towards the end. The game started for me with Britain offering the world if I joined him in attacking Spain. As Spain was the most notorious player on the site, I quickly decided to go with this, making a peace with Italy and Germany, my other nearest neighbours. The campaign against Spain went well but Germany and Italy started getting twitchy and turned on me...I managed to hold them off until Spain was finished, at which point the original British player left the game. Fortunately, it was around then that German and Italy were being pressured from the east, so they both wanted to cut a deal with me, and as a consequence I chose to go after the new British player, with a good degree of success. This put me in a good position to stab Germany and Italy - somewhat bizarrely, this was shortly followed by an offer from the German player to cede most of his centres to me in return for a survival and allowing him to go after/frustrate Poland - I'm not sure what went on there in the early part of the game, but Isaac was clearly pissed at Joey!

Overall, I guess I could have made a run at a solo - I made a superficial attempt with a limited stab of Poland - however a solo would have been very unlikely - there was no way I could have taken on both Egypt and Poland and I was rapidly reaching a stalemate against Poland anyway.

I think I was lucky in the game in having a strong, determined early ally, and the other subsequent twists and turns in the game fell kindly for me.

Thanks to the other players - hope to see you in future games!

Michael

I too salute Alan, job well done!

I got a good deal with Joey initially, and that stuck throughout the game. My part boiled down into pretty much nothing towards the end, so this kind of draw was probably the best I could hope for. I was slightly worried that I would get sidwinded by a combination of Poland and Egypt, but France surging ahead made that pretty unlikely.

Nice game, though the amount of communication did drop dramatically the last few years.

it was kind of a strange game, started out with a lot of action and negotiation, then once a few of the players were eliminated and a stalemate between poland ukraine egypt and france was obvious, the negotiation pretty much stopped because i think everyone was expecting the eog proposals to pass easily.


then the french turned on me, and if mike would have waited maybe two more turns i probably would have had half my units moved from the border because i was getting ready to help mikael fight mick. then even stranger, mick and i became allies trying to stop mike from getting a solo.


i am kind of disappointed, i think the fight between us four would have been pretty exciting, but i am also glad because i was getting relly paranoid about mikael and mike, and still worried about mike in france.

Thanks Alan for GM'ing - well done .

The game started out very well for me , I managed to grow very well and fast . Once all the vacant SC near me were taken I had to decide where to go - I chose France as I saw  him as the greater threat.
Unfortunately the British wouldn't join me so the attack was developing slowly - too slow.
In mid of this the British player was replaced and decided to attack me with Poland.
Once that happened I tried to get a truce with France - since fighting 3 fronts at once was a bit too much for me.
I tried to hold ground against Poland while taking out Britain, this went well till France stabbed me.
Obviously I couldn't fight both Poland and France together , so I decided to let France take whatever he wants while fighting
Poland as I saw him to be the first offender.and so shouldn't be awarded for his offence.
All in all I believe I achieved my goal - Britain was taken over(and out) and then handed over to France and Poland didn't advanced much while France grew very fast.
All in all I would have preferred to be in a better position but hadn't much choice here.


Hope to do better on the next one .( or the one after that Smile ).

I came in--saw a pretty strong F/G alliance so I thought I'd work with Germany up north, which is how I was set up, but Germany choose to do a very good stab and that was game, set, match for me. I would have liked to have hung around longer but since F/G weren't willing to work with me there wasn't much more I could do anyway as the UK position was over committed to Scandinavia when I came in.

Thanks for GMing, congratulations to the winners and I'll be happy to stand by with any of you again.

dc316 spring 1902 results - coryfucius   (Apr 07, 2010, 5:41 pm)
The battle lines already appear to be forming, even at this early stage of the game. England's foothold on the continent proves short-lived in the face of unified French/German action. Russia receives support from England to sail into Sweden. Austria faces hostile moves on both its eastern and western fronts, but survives unscathed for the time being.

Only one unit is dislodged, but the English army in Belgium has no retreat available and is destroyed. Therefore, we move directly to fall 1902, for which orders will be due Friday 4/9 at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT. If all goes well, we can return to the normal Blitz schedule next week. Thanks, everyone!

Cory

Press:


Europa Times:

Confusion as to the source of black clouds smearing the eastern horizon was somewhat cleared up when sources in Scandinavia, Poland and the Ukraine all spotted a somewhat singed Czar in each of these locations. No one was able to explain these multiple sightings of the Czar almost simulaneously, but his task was clear, as he rather vainly attempted to put out brushfires in all these areas. When questioned about his lack of success, the Czar replied somewhat fatalistically that with few friends to help it was probably an impossible task. Asked as to the whereabouts of his own countrymen to assist him, the leader shrugged and mumbled something about Russian pessimism being a self-fullfilling prophesy. Further questioning ended abruptly as he snapped at his questioners to leave him alone and returned to his daunting task. He was last seen walking into a growing line of fire, as the reporters fled for their safety.

Firstly, an apology. This is 24 hours late. No excuses this time - I just plain forgot.

Anyway, some interesting developments this turn, not least in the North, where England leaves the Russian homeland in exchange for Russian support into Sweden, evicting Germany in the process. The other centres to change hands this turn are Vienna, where Italy occupies with Russian support, and Rumania, where Turkey forces his way in.

As we've got multiple retreat options for the German fleet, I haven't auto retreated. I'll therefore need retreats from both Austria and Russia by 2100GMT tomorrow, Thursday 8th April. We can then move onto Winter adjustments...

German F Sweden can retreat to Finland or Gulf of Bothnia or
Skagerrak.
Austrian A Vienna can retreat to Bohemia.
