I know I have made bad moves, no need to point that out. This is especially true in the early game. Overall, however, I feel I played tactically and strategically sound games. Despite this fact, there was a winner in 3 of the 4 games I played, and, in my opinion, all the fault of my competitors. I would like your opinion about how culpable I was.

I used a delayed barbarossa to confront a clear Juggernaut. Yet I was stabbed, not once, but twice by England, the second which caused me to crumble under the russian onslaught and Turkey eventually stabbed russia for the win.

I played as Italy and won 1/4 share. I played cautious but I knew I needed points

Italy refused to cooperate against a growing Austria and helped him into my territory and to a win. Idiotic play if you ask me.

France makes a feeble attempt to Britain only helping in Russias growth (gives russia which was already huge, scandanavia. Russia gets a solo.
Its as if nobody has any understanding of the balance of power or their own strategic good, ridiculously frustrating. I would like to hear your opinions.
