and the proof, is that not only did all players submit moves that are moves but everyone was in before the deadline... I'm impressed.. after all it is 1914 and the game you thought was going to be over is very much killing villagers and rampaging through the woods... so to the adjudication and back to the game...

It was a pleasure playing with you all, thanks! This was my first game on DC, and I never would have imagined it lasting this long. But there were lots of interesting twists and turns.

Dc197 Winter 1913 - klynch427   (May 19, 2009, 8:54 am)
I would obviously vote YES as well, and I appreciate the proposal. I certainly don't think it is well-earned though - just a lot of lucky breaks fell my way and I was able to stick with the game while others dropped off.

Regardless, I've had fun playing with everyone, whether we play it out or stop things here.

Thanks,
Kevin

I vote YES to that deal. Sorry to have it come to that. I never thought I'd last past a couple of years with where I started.

My reasonings for my play, before I fell off the map, was to have France and Germany fight before I continued any attack onto Austria. Once I had cleared Russia out of the south, Austria was in no position to fight F/G before France fell off the map. France had a fleet into ION and past the Austrian line. That was all I needed to stay viable at that point.

Once France fell off the map, I had to make a decision when to stab. I thought I had timed it well, but it seems I was one year too early. The year that I stabbed, Austria was really lining up to take a few centers and I thought he saw that it was in his best interests not to help me at that point.

I thought Germany and Russia played it well against Austria in the mid-game. Austria made a tactical error one of the years to let G/R advance all the way to Moscow and Warsaw. However, Austria regained the tactical advantage and pushed north while Germany.

I have a lot of thoughts on this game and may expound more after the wedding if I have some time. As disappointing of a finish as this is for me, and for my part in the finish of the others... there was a real dynamic to this game that presented itself and I wish I would have taken advantage of it better.

If the vote fails, well... maybe I'll change some of what I said.

Dc197 Winter 1913 - packrat   (May 19, 2009, 6:02 am)
That seals the deal.

I propose an Austria solo - he can get the three he needs by taking
TUN, GRE and either CON or SMY LOOOONNNNG before I can
get anywhere near the number I need to solo. Heck, GRE and TUN
are his for fall 1914.

I'm all for fighting as long as there is a chance, but this game is now past that
point.

(well earned ) Austrian solo - what say ye?

I vote YES to that deal.  Sorry to have it come to that.  I never thought I'd last past a couple of years with where I started. 
 
My reasonings for my play, before I fell off the map, was to have France and Germany fight before I continued any attack onto Austria.  Once I had cleared Russia out of the south, Austria was in no position to fight F/G before France fell off the map.  France had a fleet into ION and past the Austrian line.  That was all I needed to stay viable at that point. 
 
Once France fell off the map, I had to make a decision when to stab.  I thought I had timed it well, but it seems I was one year too early.  The year that I stabbed, Austria was really lining up to take a few centers and I thought he saw that it was in his best interests not to help me at that point.
 
I thought Germany and Russia played it well against Austria in the mid-game.  Austria made a tactical error one of the years to let G/R advance all the way to Moscow and Warsaw.  However, Austria regained the tactical advantage and pushed north while Germany.
 
I have a lot of thoughts on this game and may expound more after the wedding if I have some time.  As disappointing of a finish as this is for me, and for my part in the finish of the others... there was a real dynamic to this game that presented itself and I wish I would have taken advantage of it better.
 
If the vote fails, well... maybe I'll change some of what I said.

I would obviously vote YES as well, and I appreciate the proposal. I certainly don't think it is well-earned though - just a lot of lucky breaks fell my way and I was able to stick with the game while others dropped off.

Regardless, I've had fun playing with everyone, whether we play it out or stop things here.

Thanks,
Kevin

Dc197 Fall 1913 - deathblade_penguin   (May 16, 2009, 12:17 am)
Dc197 Fall 1913

The Good news is that I heard from Kevin (Turkey). The bad news is that he still failed to send me moves. This means Turkey suffers another NMR but because i have heard from Kevin - I am not placing Turkey in CD. Given that the next deadline I'm hoping for moves.

Austria:
F Aegean Sea - Greece (*Fails*)
A Bohemia Supports A Silesia - Munich
F Gulf of Lyon Convoys A Spain - Tuscany
A Marseilles - Burgundy (*Fails*)
A Moscow - St Petersburg
A Prussia - Berlin (*Fails*)
A Rumania - Bulgaria
A Serbia Supports A Rumania - Bulgaria
A Sevastopol - Armenia (*Fails*)
A Silesia - Munich
A Spain - Tuscany
A Tyrolia Supports A Silesia - Munich
F Tyrrhenian Sea - Western Mediterranean (*Fails*)

France: in CD
F North Atlantic Ocean, no move received
A North Africa, no move received
A Ruhr, no move received
F Tunis, no move received

Germany:
A Berlin Supports A Munich - Silesia (*Cut*)
A Burgundy - Marseilles (*Fails*)
A Gascony - Spain
A Kiel - Holland
A Munich - Silesia (*Dislodged*)
F Portugal Supports A Gascony - Spain
F Sweden - Baltic Sea

Russia:
A St Petersburg - Norway

Turkey: NMR
A Armenia, no move received
A Bulgaria Hold (*Dislodged*)
F Greece, no move received
F Smyrna, no move received
F Western Mediterranean, no move received

Autumn 1913
Turkish A Bulgaria can retreat to Constantinople.
German A Munich can retreat to Kiel.

I have made both of these retreats. Both Turkey and Germany can elect to disband the unit with their winter moves if they want.

Winter 1913 is due Tuesday 19th May at 7pm Australian DST.

Austria: Build 2

Turkey: Remove 1

Germany: If disband in Autumn you can waive a Build or Build F Kiel.

Dc197 - Quick Update - deathblade_penguin   (May 14, 2009, 7:37 pm)
Okay

Swamped last night, couldn't run the turn but Turkey has asked me for a 'few' hours to get moves in. Since I would rather have Turkey's moves than CD him at this stage of the game.. I am given Kevin 12 hours (my time) to get some moves in for the turn.

(to be honest, since I am writing reports all day.. i coiuld use the break myself)
