What is this you speak of? It sounds interesting.

I'm in. Those parameters are good for me too. Happy to do a USA-4 or something different, like American Conflict, Karabik, or South American Supremacy.

gameID=9637 For reference.

That's USA-3, not a link to a new game.

I'm in for whatever.

I love the reveal at the end of anonymous games, there's always a surprise. javidtl, one of these games I will discover that we were great allies! I think every game we've played we've clashed directly, except the one you left early.

Golgo1, we felt bad about that stab. Especially Texas, who had to flip a coin.

Looks like Autumn 2000 was a key turning point, with all those red arrows making clear the intentions of Quebec/NY and necessitating the alliance that won the game. bo_sox, we *almost* kept you alive through it, so close. Kinda sad that the early focus of the alliance was to help you stand against a looming juggernaut, and in the end we benefited and you were out.

It was a really fun and interesting alliance, with so many moments of near-collapse, so many close calls and last-minute changes to orders. Hirnsaege, Texas and I really thought you were going for it on that last move! This game took a. lot. of. diplomacy.

happened to notice this thread:P That was a great game i enjoyed it and I am sorry for the stab mexico i did feel bad about that and florida you had me worried

I would be in for another round

Join what you want!

Youngstown-3

Haven't played Youngstown yet, ought to be fun.

joined both games now :)

in retrospective ...
the first turns, i was all commited to a eastern juggernaut, as qebec and NY were suggesting to me and that started to work rather well. cuba in the south was at least a friend, we both were happy to have peace at one border. texas really was a good partner to talk with, as well as heartlands then too ... so i had a problem to stab one of them ... i was close to hit on heartland then with NY and even started an assault on Texas (Lousiana, my great worry all along afterwards – much to my remorse i took it and the relative silence of texas all along the game – i was expecting that somewhen he'd want to have it back).
Then i missed a turn :)
BC contacted me, warning me about the juggernaut i actually was into too ... NY wasn't a great talker - somthing i "complained" about to qebec before, and as i saw there would be a better base working with "the west" who was actively working together, i turnd towards NY, which was a fast success, while qebec was much harder ... that's also thanks to cuba who still was very peaceful towards me and held back Peru for a while, and greatly with texas' trust i wouldn't attack him further ...
When Cuba fell to Peru, i had to intervene, luckily mexico was hitting peru too and it was easy to get in there.
BC, do you remember what was the initial cause to stab Heartlands? I don't have it in my logs anymore, and i feel sorry for it. he was a good ally all along.
Mexicos attempt to turn me against texas was a brave one, but given the game before with the loyality of texas, it was more a chance to make him believe i'd do it and get further south.
In the endgame ... well, there's always the question whether to run for the solo – which might have been possible in this one – or pay back for what i was able to accomplish. in this case, i never was close to do the run – it would have affected texas mostly who never was anyhow hostile towards me. thus a draw.

Thanks Doc for the msg. Being out of the game, I didnt see the alert that it was over. :)
I'm in on the next one.

Glad to see a bunch of you joining for round 2. So far, javidtl has opted out of the rematch, and I figured rather than just wait for the spot to fill I would PM an invitation to a couple of players I've enjoyed playing other games with, that I though would fit in. We'll see what comes of it.

Wish I'd thought to put a password on the game, as of course there will likely be some random joiners, but that's OK.
