10 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 1901: GameMaster: Please remember that negotiations before the game begins are not allowed.
13 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 1901: Info: This is a choose your country game.
20 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1903: Took a punt that you go Kie-Den. Didn't quite work out for me. Lol.
21 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1903: I actually did not expect to really get into Munich ... just wanted to keep you out of it :-)
22 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1904: Stuffed up my orders then. Nap was supposed to go to Tyn.
I was just congratulating myself earlier on not making an misorders in these games I am playing with you (I terrible for misorders). I have made some dumb moves like last turn, but no misorders until now.

This is your game. I'll play on though, rather than concede. I prefer survives to defeats.
23 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1904: this one might be mine, but the other one is yours
29 Feb 16 UTC This one really hurts ;-)
Congrats for both games.
29 Feb 16 UTC Thanks for the game sevyas. I am quite surprised how that one turned out. It turns out that my position was not quite a bad as I first thought, although I think you did manage to win the advantage there for a while.
29 Feb 16 UTC One of the reasons I thought my position was lost after you took Munich was due to an error I made counting SCs. At one point I wrote down all the SCs I controlled and the SCs I need to capture to win. The things I overlooked Rumania, which made me think that even with Mun and Ber under my control I needed to capture all the way north to St. Petersburg, whereas in fact I only needed to capture as far north as Moscow. That misunderstanding led me to take that unnecessarily risky move where I lost Munich.
29 Feb 16 UTC typo... The *thing is* I overlooked Rumania (as in I forgot to include it in the count).
29 Feb 16 UTC It was only in the last year or so that I took another look and thought "hang on, I might have a small chance after all, so long as I hold Berlin. However I had to be fast because given enough time France can eventually force Berlin. France can also force St P given enough time.
29 Feb 16 UTC So had I not won on this particular turn, I don't think I could have won at all.
29 Feb 16 UTC It was a very tough game for me. I have no doubt the next time we play the tables could be easily turned. Thanks.
