Hey guys!

That was a great game.

That was perhaps the best Juggernaut alliance that I have played.

Couple of random things:

#1 Austria - You called it right and played the game exactly as you should have. Whenever there is a Turkey/Russia alliance Austria is the one to feel it first and should scream bloody murder in the global chat louldy and often. Being hip deep in Italy's home centers didn't help you at the time, but you made the right call in warning everyone.

#2 Germany - Kudos for a well played defensive game. You certainly knocked Russia out of contention for a draw or a solo win.

#3 Russia - Well played Juggernaut! It judt sucked that you ran into such a talented defensive player in Germany. It seemed like you may have split your attention between England and Germany and that slowed you down.

France - Sorry, that wide open southern region of yours was way too tempting. I was surprised that you kept up the offensive against Germany and England. Bringing two fleets to the Med when I was in Tunis would have shut me down. Still good job aggressively playing and forcing losses on others.

England - I felt sorry for you. It seemed like, more than anyone else, you had trouble securing a long-standing alliance. Russia ended up being a pretty good friend to you in the end. I was glad to see that.

Italy- As a person, you have my sincere apology. You really did everything I asked of you from the very beginning of the game. As a player, there was just no other way to go though. I had decided to try for a solo and there was no way to get it without stretching all the way to England, or taking your centers, Even if I did go to England, there was the danget of being cut off from my home centers if you expanded. It really wasn't until you asked about taking Marseilles that I realized I'd have to strike right then. SO, yes. I'm a jerk but at least I made it quick a relatively painless. I hope.
