As Turkey, I can either go after Russia, Austria, or Italy. I chose Russia. I had some early luck in gaining Romania, and Austria not moving for Bulgaria. At first I though Austria was being nice, but I still didn't trust him. Eventually I stabbed him, almost at the same time as Italy. He moved all his units away from me and support me even. This was strange, but I was always going to take advantage, as any player would have. When Germany CDed I made sure to post a replacement thread: I didn't want the game to completely die. By that point England and Italy were each close to me in terms of SCs. I moved on Italy, and eventually got a foothold. Russia was distracted in the North, and I was able to gain a lot of ground. Italy CDed, though I still believe I would break him soon, no matter what. I eventually got to 19 SCs, and here we are now.
