18 Apr 20 UTC	Good game all
18 Apr 20 UTC	Why did Russia suicide?
18 Apr 20 UTC	Nice win Italy. I don’t know why russia did that, really sucks. Germany could have killed him but didn’t and that’s how he repays him. Tough way to finish a good game, well done Doofman
18 Apr 20 UTC	What are you guys talking about? There wasn't any choice for me to do anything. Italy played a good game and surrounded me.
18 Apr 20 UTC	You broke the stalemate line by not holding; if you check the blowup map Germany was support holding you in Berlin. Italy couldn't get any further and it would've forced a draw.
18 Apr 20 UTC	Ok, but with no messaging, how am I supposed to know what Germany would do?
18 Apr 20 UTC	What options did Germany have? You hold and you can be apart of a draw. You chose to attack and eliminate yourself and give italy a solo.
18 Apr 20 UTC	Yeah I was very pleasantly surprised by Russia not holding
18 Apr 20 UTC	Well played by your part draw or solo. You got threw Russia Austria Turkey and we got nowhere :)
18 Apr 20 UTC	England did you attack me because I forced the channel? When I saw your opening to Wales I couldn't risk a convoy. I would've loved to see you take on Russia or Germany instead :)
18 Apr 20 UTC	It was your second fleet build. If you went army in Paris we would have been locked in. Yeah the move to Wales was dumb. I was trying to get the army to belguim without using North Sea. Which I don’t think I would do again. And by 03 Germany and I had shown support to each other so went that way.
18 Apr 20 UTC	I was very worried with Germany actively attacking me while you had an army in Wales+not moving on Russia or Germany so I built that fleet. I can see how that incites England to attack but at least I can hold out pretty well with that position. Unfortunate.
18 Apr 20 UTC	Oh yeah I totally see your side of it too.
19 Apr 20 UTC	You guys had established the lines for a draw very well - it would have been a very frustrating 17 SC draw for me though.
19 Apr 20 UTC	- Russia - that's Gunboat read the orders to pick up on some of those subtleties - nothing more satisfying than a gunboat alliance that works out
19 Apr 20 UTC	That was basically my first game in 8/9 years - decided this is a great way to see through the pandemic - so I thoroughly enjoyed it - the win did make it a bit sweeter
19 Apr 20 UTC	Lol nice win :) I have not played for 5 years and yes quarantine brought me back.
