31 Oct 17 UTC Good game everyone. Nice work boxing me in. I considered a solo run, and probably should have explored it, but I wasn't keen on stabbing Italy after the solid and honorable game he played both testing me for the split of Austria, but also keeping the Turks in check when necessary. I also didn't want to mess with Bulgaria because he mostly gave me a safe border, except for a couple of pokes at Bitola in 1865. Apologies to Austria for the heartbreaking stab in 1862. We had opened well together, and it had not been my intent to attack. Yet the situation with Italy was looking bleak with both Austria and Greece invading and winning. It was a tough call, but I judged that at seven supply centers and momentum against both Italy and Romania, Austria was on a fast track to a solo with me as the main course if I kept sending armies south and east. Sorry also to Romania, who I wasn't looking to eliminate, but wasn't willing to leave alone on my frontier. I also needed an extra army to whole the middle, so a selfish late stab took you out, and then I didn't even try for the solo.... Good juggling units across several fronts in the end by Ottomans. Here again I was tempted, but it always looked like I'd just come up one dot short if I went for it.
31 Oct 17 UTC Nice game guys. No one wanted to be my friend in this one, so it was a short and painful ride, haha.
31 Oct 17 UTC Good game. I'm relieved to get in the draw on this one. I thought Ottomans might like to repay my favour of helping to finish off Romania, but they nabbed a centre from me instead. I guess Serbia was large and scary enough on the other side for it to be left at that.
31 Oct 17 UTC Serbia, that was a very well-executed stab. I was just too overextended at that moment and I paid the price.
01 Nov 17 UTC Yay! Another draw! Thanks, Ruff, for seeing I wasn't going to stab Italy or Bulgaria. Although I would have let you take one or two SCs from him then joined in and stabbed him to keep us about even.
