So it was an interesting game, played against Goldfinger, in his 1066 debut, and Shep, who alongside me is one of the most harden veterans of the variant.

I guess feeling bad for Goldfinger, this being one of his first games on the site, I decided to ally with England against Norway, an unlikely duo.

I managed to beat Shep to Denmark before begining the long 3-way battle, where at all times the 2 smaller powers were allied against the 3rd large one.

This was until Goldfinger lost 4 supply centers in 1077 and I figured my gains were large enough to attempt the solo.

I gave Goldfinger Oxford that summer on the grounds that he promised to let me solo before changing my mind the following year.

After that began a 5 year period where I was stuck on 9 scs, one short of the solo.

It seemed like I was going to loose, with me loosing ground in England bit by bit and Shep stalemating me in the east when I decided to play my last card.

Having a build from my disband in Kaupang, I chose to waive my build. The idea was I would vacate Sweden that year, and build a much needed army there, rather then a useless fleet in Denmark.

The fog served to my advantage for this turn, since the orders of Gunfighter and Shep were based on the assumption that I had one more fleet then I actually did, forcing them to be more cautious then they needed to be.

Over all it was a pretty exciting game, and resumed my love of 3-player variants.
