I was thinking I could get Tunis, with 5 fleets, filling up western italian territories, but I knew I cant get more, France is able to close the exit to MAO and stalmate me with 5 units only.

And congratulations SplitDiplomat, you just crossed 40000 with this draw! Impressive!

Turkey jut wanted me dead for SO long... I was unhappy without game.

Agree, the turkish opening to Armenia was the best news for me. And when he finally realized I'm the enemy it was too late. I also made the right call moving into sevastopol, I was sure Turkey moves on me, let's yo into black sea, and I can walk into sevastopol without resistance. That's was a very good move from me :D

Lol, congratz :| turkey basically doomed me from the start..

Yes Roka,that was the role of the Piedmont army - to wait to be disbanded.
But that wasn't such a huge mistake by you because I didn't need the 4th fleet,fleets in North Africa,West Med and Spain and armies in Gascony and Marseille would have kept you away from your 18th SC anyway.
The HUUUUUGE mistake of your's in my opinion was back in winter '05 when you built the fleet in Trieste instead of an army which needed to go to Tyrolia along wit army Vienna to Bohemia.At that point you should have stabbed Germany instead of Italy and maybe you would have greater chances of the solo.Italy were letting you way two much and if you hadn't build against him then he would came back at me again with both his fleets,gaining nothing again and you would have stabbed him a lot easier lately.
The other crucial point was also in autumn '05 - I had to gamble with defending both Paris and Brest and was lucky,if Germany had taken Brest that turn I believe you would have won the game.
Fortunately next spring Germany saw what was going on and the rest was classic...
GG all.Except The Czech again,I don't know what's going on with him lately,he plays like he were joking himself and all the participants.Smyrna to Armenia in 4000 pot game,come on Czech,you got to be kidding.

SplitDiplomat, you forget I play for fun. That makes me a loose cannon.

Yes,I don't forget,you told me that once.You had a great fun in this one though. Only clever move in the entire game was not moving into Naples from Ionian.

Good game, everyone. A lot of good play going around. Though my favorite part of this game may have been when my fiancée told me who Nina Dobrev is. I had assumed she was a character from a Tolstoy novel or something like that. But no, it's Vampire Diaries.. lol.

good game everyone, i still haven't got the hang of italy somehow so i was really angry when i saw that it was my draw in the highest pot game i have played. never got going and was bound to be defeated since i never got above 4 or 5 units. once agian good game everyone.

@Split: you may be right about 05 Spring. As a matter of fact I was thinking a lot in 05 Spring, not to take Warsaw rather jump on Germany with galicia, because berlin was defensless. But I figured germany would turn back easily dislodge me and I wouldn't be in a beter position. Building 2 armies later could have worked.

@Chief: I'm glad you figured who the girl is ;) Also I put her link into the first post, just to let others know as well. She's cute ;)
