25 Jul 20 UTC	Hey good game guys Damn that was one of the longest defensive fights I can recall putting up as France Good job sticking to your plans England and a Germany
25 Jul 20 UTC	Thanks haha you outplayed me incredibly hard. A few years in I was pretty confident you were BB and as expected continued to read us hard
25 Jul 20 UTC	Great job specifically figuring out who I was, and I think you were of course very wise to be persistent knowing that. I think if you had let up even a little I might have gotten the upper hand, haha. Well played game. I had a lot of fun.
25 Jul 20 UTC	Thanks haha. I think my fear of you lead me to play afraid which led to tactical mistakes and predictability but on the plus side led to me making the strategically sound decision of fighting you until all your home centers were safely in stow and unrecoverable.
25 Jul 20 UTC	Thanks for a good game everyone! One of the most exciting gunboats I’ve played.
25 Jul 20 UTC	I would love to hear from Turkey, the decision they made to ally Russia against me gave them four centers in the end, so it was objectively sounder than I thought during the game, but my guess is if an I/T had formed then both of us would have had greater solo chances.
25 Jul 20 UTC	Yeah I wondered about that too, honestly I was amazed to be alive after you, Russia, and Austria all came after me at once in the early game, and I realized that the gains I could make against Russia (SEV, RUM etc) were surrounded by units so the chances for retake was high, plus I had two fleets at the time and they were awkwardly positioned to make a push north. In the end though I was just happy the behemoth to the North laid off for a bit so I went along with coming after you.
25 Jul 20 UTC	I don’t think I came after you early game! It would have been hard to be more peaceful than I was with you sticking around in BLA and ARM.
25 Jul 20 UTC	Yeah haha I hear you. You did support Austria in to Bulgaria but I guess I already was in the Black Sea and Armenia at that point lol
