First off, thanks everyone for an interesting game. I certainly had
many plans that stewed beneath the surface, waiting for now to be
revealed. So here's my eog.

I always feel sorry for Austria. As I always do, I tried very hard at
the beginning of the game to find a way to team up with him. But I am a
very aggressive player and after Turkey let me sneak into the Black Sea
I wanted to hit him really hard and keep him from building at all. I
requested support from Austria into Bulgaria and was refused. So I
called off my invasion of my southern neighbour for the time being.

In the north, Germany and I were quite amicable right away. The
agreement to move on England while he took Sweden was legit. However,
Germany had been told that I was not defending it and I told him he
could defend Denmark with Skag. He didn't and England moved in there.
Had he done as I requested, he would have had an extra build to put in
Munich with which we would work together on Austria. With extra help
there I was going to be comfortable betraying the trust of Turkey. But
it was not to be.

The new Germany annoyed me with his unwillingness to consider my
proposals and his vassal attitude toward France. So the lines were
drawn and the RT was final (in my mind).

From what I could gather, Turkey and I were willing to play for the FRT
draw by the end, but that motion kept getting defeated, so we decided to
make a final push for the two-way. I was really looking forward to
matching wits with France (and the one or two German units) but I guess
I'll take the two-way and go from here.

Thanks to Turkey for trusting me so much. Many times you didn't have a
choice... as you can see I might not have been as trustworthy as I
looked, but that's the way it worked out.
