| DC215 GAME OVER - 3-WAY DIAS - Kenshi777 (Apr 06, 2009, 1:57 pm) |
Okay - if I don't write this now when it's fresh, I probably never will...so grab your seat by the fireside, and let's recap this fine beauty of a game...
First of all - acknowledgements and gratitudes to the GM and players as a group - let me say what a fine impression DC has made on me in this, my first DC game. I previously played the majority of my games in another community, but expect to spend more of my time here in the future. Much of the credit for that goes to our GM, Matt, who ran this puppy like clockwork. You have my gratitude.
That said, I came in to this game with zero previous exposure to any of the players. I decided to adopt a pro-Austria approach, given signs of a loose R/T alliance forming. Initially Brian (Austria) proved very open to my ideas, and had some good ones of his own as well - however, we began to have some communication difficulties, delayed replies, and some conflicts about how to coordinate our attacks/division of the spoils.
One thing lead to another, R/T started to show some cracks early on, a vulnerability opened up, and I joined in the all-too-common Austria dogpile when it appeared that I could get more than my fair share of the spoils.
Meanwhile - I watched in horror as Joe (Germany) seemingly consumed both England and France in one monstrous gulp. My nightmare intensified as I saw our replacement French player switch over to all hold orders when the assistance he wanted never materialized. I had expected him to at least self-support and make basic defensive moves. Life is full of little disappointments.
Enter Warren. Warren's Russia proved to be the perfect ally - as is often the case between Russia and Italy in the mid-game. He managed to check Joe's advance in the north, and was willing to carve up Turkey with me.
Brief interlude for a word on Turkey (Vincent) - never made a wrong move the whole game. Perhaps not quite aggressive enough, but still - I think that he just happened to be the target this time around. By virture of position alone, Russia was the better choice for an alliance partner - and indeed I/T alliances are rare unless they begin very early and both players limit their fleet builds intentionally for the purpose of *making* an I/T alliance work. That didn't happen here, and I must confess I never really had much intent of working with Vincent in this game, though I gladly would elsewhere. As Turkey in DC 215, his position was just too much of a liability in my backyard to be neglected, and the SCs I could gain from attacking him were much needed.
So...enter my dilemma. Russia and I have pretty much eliminated Turkey, he's on the ropes, but more vindictive against Russia than me. Warren is going to get the bigger share of the Turkish spoils though. Do I....?
A) Slice a piece off of Russia and risk gaining the reputation as a hyperactive stabber...
or B) stand by my ally, and hope that he doesn't run me over as soon as Turkey is gone...
I chose option A, as my border with Joe seemed fairly stable. To his credit, Warren didn't abandon his defenses against Joe, who was still the board leader and poised to steal many more SCs away from Russia than I was. Instead, Warren negotiated a settlement with me, and I agreed to limit my advance to 2 SCs.
Meanwhile again - Joe unleashes one verbal assault after another, convinced that my attack on his holdings was imminent. Granted - I did violate a DMZ with no notice, and wanted him to remain a bit uneasy, in the hopes that he would hold back a unit or two from finishing France off to defend against an Italian attack that wasn't coming. That didn't work, as France sent all-hold orders and went gently into that good night.
So I became desperate for builds, and plundered Russia even more. Fortunately, Warren kept trying to work with me, since my attacks at least were sporadic and limited, whereas Joe was driving consistently on a path to Moscow it seemed. So eventually I did what Joe had feared, and Warren's loyalty to me paid off - I stabbed Germany.
Much to my surprise - Joe chose to yield ground against me and persist against Warren. Perhaps he saw a route to 18, even if he lost some French and Iberian SCs to me. Not sure. So, I left a leverage threat to Con in place to try and gain some insurance of Russian loyalty (after two stabs, I thought he would be sure to nail me at the first opportunity) - and then I turned about and headed west for Spain and Marseilles.
Here's where I blew the solo. Having identified that I needed a line from Tyl-Boh-Gal-Rum-Bla-Arm to achieve an eastern stalemate line, I instead tried to continue on with Warren as an ally. I thought a full Italian attack on Russia would have allowed Joe to beat me to 18, and I didn't want to trust that Warren would choose me if placed in the position of kingmaker.
So I diverted forces west before forming the line mentioned above, and trusted that Warren would continue to resist Joe at least until it was too late to stop me. I overestimated Warren's opposition to Joe (believed him when he said he was in it against Germany until the end). They turned on me about two seasons before I would have been able to seal that line and pull sufficient forces west to break through at sea.
Icing on the cake (and here's where Joe and Warren really deserve credit) - when they did reconcile, they dispensed with any half-step trust building moves, as I had eagerly hoped for. Instead, Joe immediately threw all his fleets due west, they coordinated an attack on Galicia immediately, and Warren accepted the loss of Con to withdraw F Con - Bla and cut Rumanian support for Galicia. Wow - that was something else. And it worked.
The GR Galicia attack failed, but was inevitable to succeed the next season with F Bla - Rum. Eventually, I could have claimed Ankara and possibly Sevastopol, but not without losing Rumania and placing the whole of my Balkan holdings at risk. Joe completely locked down the western front with a good bouncing stalemate - I could have gained MAO, but not pushed for Brest or and English SC without allowing him to penetrate and equally threaten Iberia. So 16 was as far as I could reasonably expect to go - anything beyond that involved risking a major breakthrough, with no safe area to pass SCs off to either member of G/R without putting them on their own road to a solo. (Warren at least would have had none of that anyway - he was too far behind, and just wanted a 3 way.) All diplomatic and...less savory...EGP tactics designed to separate G/R failed to pay off, they only delayed the then inevitable outcome.
So in the end, Warren is the big winner here, for holding on at 8 SCs against two 12-13 SC rivals, and bringing them in to a 3 way draw.
Thanks to all for a great game, I consider myself honored to have played with you all. Hope to see you again on a Dip board soon.

| DC 215 Thanks! - jhack16 (Apr 06, 2009, 11:59 am) |
Hi Guys,
Game over!
Well played fellas, and hope you will submit EOG's.
To Ben, you demonstrated superb Diplomatic skills, the essence of the game, right from the get go, I've learned a couple of lessons from you, thanks and hope to play with/against you again!
To Warren, what can I say, pragmatic, a tactical genius as Ben memorably pointed out when you guys grabbed MUN off me , and most of all flexible. Even though it must have hurt to change sides late on, it was the only way we were going to stop Ben. So congrats and well done.
To Matt, our GM, I express my sincere thanks. You kept things moving swiftly and fairly, you were accurate and fast throughout the months of play that has brought us to this point. I would gladly join any future game being GM'd by you., please accept my gratitude for looking after all of us so well!
EOG will follow, (in a little while)
Thanks guys, see you around!

out that the DIAS was voted down.

Amazing but true: we have no retreats. So we head straight to Fall

Some, but not all, had marked their orders final this year; if I get a
full set I'll send it out early.

An extension has been requested for the Winter deadline, so it is moved
until this Tuesday, March 24, at 9 pm eastern. However, to keep the
game flowing I will make a shorter deadline for the following Spring,
due this coming Friday, March 27, at 9 pm eastern.

Ever more new developments this season as Germany breaks Russia's hold
on the Helgoland Bight, although the Czar does manage to keep the
Kaiser's forces out of Denmark, at least for now. Germany also meets
success against Italy, reclaiming Munich and protecting Marseilles.
However Italian fleets continue to flood west, so the fates of Iberia
and France may still remain to be seen.
The DIAS has been voted down. However, we have a new proposal for an RI
draw. Please send me your votes with your orders for Fall 1910, the
deadline for which is this Friday, March 20, at 9 pm eastern.
Also if any of you are interested I have a new game up in DC, the
Chromatic variant.

Please note that there is not a draw proposal of any kind currently on

the table. I thought some clarification might be needed because I've
received votes for a non-existent proposal. When a proposal is voted
down (as one has been), a new proposal must be proposed every time by
somebody, they do not just magically renew themselves.
Orders for Spring 10 are still due Monday.

There were three resultant retreats. However, Germany only had one option that didn't involve bouncing with himself, and I took the liberty to retreat the Russian army to War (over Lvn). If either of you prefer OTB or a switch (in Warren's case), just let me know.
All of this leads to a winter with only one adjustment: Italy is due one build. So I will adjudicate that as soon as I receive it, but I'll set a deadline for B for Wednesday at the latest. If I receive the build tomorrow we'll have Spring 10 on Friday, otherwise it will be Monday.

| DC215 Spring 1909 - former.trout (Mar 08, 2009, 6:59 pm) |
This game never ceases to surprise me. This spring sees Russia attempt to pull out of Germany, only to find the road blocked by German fleets, while Italy cries "Westward Ho!," only to also find a German army in the way.
There was only one retreat due, and it only had one option, so I've sent Russia's A Sil - War. Warren just let me know if you want it OTB.
Fall 1909 is up next, and we'll have it this coming Wednesday, March 4, at 9 pm eastern. Please note that I am going to be extremely busy this upcoming week, so bear with me if there are any delays.

| DC215 Deadline Extension - MattTheLesser (Mar 03, 2009, 9:35 pm) |
A deadline extension was requested more than 24 hours before the
deadline, so I am granting it. The deadline is moved to this coming
Monday, March 9, at 9 pm eastern.

| DC215 Draw Proposal - MattTheLesser (Mar 01, 2009, 5:45 pm) |
Since B proposed the draw publicly and with sufficient time before the
next deadline, I will allow it to come in for voting immediately, with
the deadline for votes the same as the next deadline for orders. Please
send your votes with your Fall 1909 orders.
Remember that by my house rules abstentions DO NOT strike down proposals
(although at least one yes vote is needed to pass a proposal), so if you
want to veto the proposal make sure you vote no.

| DC215 Winter 1908 - Kenshi777 (Feb 28, 2009, 11:49 pm) |
I would like to publicly propose a 3 way GIR draw. I won't get past 15 going in either direction without being stopped, and these alliances will swing back and forth ad nauseum. All three of us have some prospect of a solo, but none of us will let each other get all the way there. Just as Joe and I turned on Warren, and now Warren and I are turning on Joe for a while, etc. etc. and in time Joe and Warren will turn on me. This game has achieved stability - fluid stability, but stability all the same.
Both of these gentlemen have delivered a worthy performance, and I would be honored to share in a 3-way draw with them, if they are willing.
