17 Aug 21 UTC Good game everyone. I toyed briefly with the idea of carrying on. Could I have broken through in the Far East and/or the far west? Would have been hard. I would have lost Switzerland and Austria but no more in the middle. But at the end of the day I respect and enjoy a faithful game long alliance. I know Ukraine was getting nervous but I was never going to stab.
17 Aug 21 UTC Apologies to some decent early allies that got steamrolled near the end (Germany/Italy etc). Purely a factor of being in the path (whenever I play Germany in this variant I start strong and then get attacked from all sides). To be honest spain was a lucky recipient of being furthest away from Poland and Ukraine. And was able to capitalise. In fact is was giving Spain some SCs to try to signal to Ukraine I didn’t want the solo. Not sure if that was clear.
17 Aug 21 UTC Thanks for the game.
17 Aug 21 UTC Germany and Italy had to learn the hard way that going west instead of north and east, respectively, is usually a bad idea on this map for, well, the reasons that just played out.
17 Aug 21 UTC I somehow outlived everyone else.
17 Aug 21 UTC I enjoyed the game as Ukraine for a change - so often an early exit. I was trying to engineer a surprise attack on Poland to have a shot at a solo but wan’t executed well enough.

Well played everyone.
17 Aug 21 UTC Haha. If I thought you were going for the stab instead of just being cautious I would have maybe pressed on for the solo from this position ;-)
17 Aug 21 UTC I was keeping back some builds and then played to play them all in the east all at once but gave the game away by moving my units north - bad error.

And, imo, you should always go for a solo. They’re rare so deserve to be tried for. The worst that could happen is generally the draw …
17 Aug 21 UTC But then I feel bad!! I value an alliance. I could probably have a higher points total but I would enjoy the game less. Hopefully next time we meet in a game as early allies I am sufficiently cautious of you :-p
