Hi ,
I had quite a short game.??The??beginning??was going fine , got Norway and both France and Germany going after??
Russia and Italy.??
Germany was looking in good shape and Italy was doing a great using the Press...So I had to decide where to go. My 2 options whereGermany or Russia. ( I thought France would join me , my mistake).
??Russia was a bit too far , so I thought of taking Sweden and so encouraging France to Join me and attack Germany.
However this didn't work as expected since France took advantage of me leaving Liverpool??vulnerable
and although I managed to take over Sweden I lost Liv while Lon and Edi where next in turn.I had no other choice but to retreat and try to stop France. I did try and attack Germany in Hol but thanks to the ( unexpected ) French support this failed too.??
So it was obvious the game was over for me.
However I did my best giving France a fight over Lon and Edi while Germany got both Sweden and Norway without any resistance on my side.??
I hope my struggle over England managed to slow down France , which gave Germany some time .
I would like to thank Craig for GMing , did a great job.As for me, ??I learned another small lesson in Diplomacy.
