Good game guys. Being outguessed by Russia twice almost cost my the game. Great comeback from one center, my respect!

For me, the crucial moment came in 1904. Austria inexplicably decided to move to Trieste and I moved Vienna to Galicia instead of Budapest. If it weren't for that spiteful move by a dying Austria, I honestly think I would have had a shot for the solo, because the game turned into two duels: Turkey-Italy and England-France, with the eastern duel carrying more weight from the start. Turkey might have tried for the solo, but I believe that the decision to draw was wise, since France was already taking positions in both Germany and the Mediterranean. A great game, very exciting, with many twists and turns.

Man... Glad the game drew then, I wasn't sure I'd survive Turkey long enough to get reclaimed by England :D

You both played great games -- Through a little patience and a lot of luck, I'm glad I managed to survive to see the draw. Awesome game everyone.

jmbo, it was not only luck, you know. I purposefully kept you alive by bouncing England in autumn 1907 and not going into Warsaw after that. I needed a buffer up there.

Italy man, you royally handed it to me. I saw Austria stumble, saw Turkey make a move against Sevastopol, and figured you and I could work together to contain him. Your moves in '03 nearly killed me -- but you redeemed yourself in Autumn '07 by trying to take Warsaw and bouncing England for me :)

The entire game can hang on one move. I don't know if that's good or bad, lol.

The move to Warsaw was scary as hell from my point of view -- Had England guessed right, the game was over for me right then.

Which was a risky move that really paid off. I remember wanting to block st. Peterburg first and decided to switch at the very last moment, oh what could have been.. At that time I almost had france, but the lost of centers made me lose very fast after that. Still, I don't think I'd be able to go for the solo, so I'm very happy to draw.

Well, zmaj, it wasn't really a shock that Austria moved spitefully against you after you'd spent the first three years of the game eviscerating him. I tried shoring him up early on and moved against him only with reluctance when he was for all intents and purposes a dead man walking.
