Chris and I had an alliance at the start which was working very well, unfortunately he then supported Russia into warsaw, but repeatedly denied it, hence this broke our trust and i attacked him- it subsequently turned out to be a misorder by Chris (he meant to support Austria to Warsaw I recall). We very nearly patched it up but the damage was done.
France, well he was very busy and not focussed on the game, and consequently unreliable- As the Italian stabbed showed- it would have worked.

Viewpoints from Germany
Most of my communications were with England. I remember being stabbed by England during the first few years, then trying to mend the alliance, but he kept attacking me. I tried to work with France to destroy one of my armies to build a fleet to combat England's armada, but that move turned out to be against the rules. After having the rule book thrown at me, I kind of lost interest in the game. I saw Italy striving for the solo, and I had never seen Italy win a solo before, so I thought I would assist him. I tried attacking France, which failed miserably, then thought I should try and stop Italy but it was way too late for that.
This was actually my first game as Germany, though I have played 17 diplo games previously. I keep track of these things.
Chris

Thank you for getting orders in on time. Here are your results.
The war is over as Italy controls 18 centers for the solo win. Congrats Archer on a strong win. There was one retreat which I made automatically.
Thank you all for making GMing easy I hope that you all enjoyed the game. Again I apologize for the major error a few turns ago.
End of game statements are highly recommended. Send them to me in the next couple of days and I will post what I received. I know some prefer to just e-mail them to everyone so please do if that is what you prefer. I would be interested in the player perspective of the game.
Final map and .dpy are attached. Please check for errors.
