http://www.playdiplomacy.com/game_play_details.php?game_id=75892 England doesn't seem to have any friends and appears to be poised to annoy Russia Germany and France having their own Cold War with Germany siding with Russia and Austria while France has a pact with Italy. Italy and Austria are expertly coordinating a wombo combo on turkey. Russia seems torn between defending his northern borders or his European one. I'll leave it to someone else to critique turkey. I'm pretty sure I'm screwed though. | ||

TL - 1 is getting very interesting, so much to consider, even though we are only 5 Countries now ... The freaking German, Italian & Russian alliance has to break sometime, doesnt it? :< | ||

I'm pretty sure I'm screwed though. To me it looks like Germany and France are allied, but not 100% trusting of each other. I think they will eventually become more coordinated and take control of the northwest of the map. I wouldn't say that that Germany is siding with Russia, more that neither have forces to spare. That Germany has kept Russia out of Sweden shows that they are not aligned. France and Italy's pact is very similar to the situation between Russia and Germany. There is little to gain by pressuring on that front at the moment. Neither is going to make progress without more ships in the water. Turkey is doomed, with or without Russia's help. I think there needs to be some tactical blunders or an irrational stab in the Austria-Italy camp in order to survive. | ||

I doubt they are there for teatime. In that case every country would be fighting 2 others but no 2 countries would have the same enemies. Ger vs Fra + UK Fra vs. Ger+Ita UK vs Ger+Rus Ita vs Rus+Fra Rus vs UK+Ita Sounds like a fun constellation. ^^ | ||

It's less likely to happen with a 3 way alliance, but 3 way alliances tend to break down. It's harder to keep everyone happy. And also very often there is a 2 way alliance within the greater alliance where the 2 are planning ways to cast off the third wheel. | ||

But unless Russia and Italy are covering up their backstab vs Germany incredibly well, it doesn't look like Ger would be involved in any way in a war between those two ^^ Which then again would lead to the meantioned earlier game of no clear alliances, as everyone has different enemies ^^ | ||

Sweden would have survived, if Put on Hold(as germany supported sweden), The support command in the south went completely wrong... This alone are 2 centers. And the retreat in Budapest may have some backstory, so I wouldn't talk about that, but it surely looks a bit odd. In hindsight it didn't turn out well. But if you look at the state and orders from the fall, you can see that the Sweden move to Norway could have been instrumental to gaining St Petersburg if England had chosen to try to block it. And in the fall, St Petersburg seemed much more important than Sweden because that is the only way for Russia to bring fleets into the North Sea. Now it looks like the North Sea is the least of Russia's problems. Sometimes you want to make moves that will put you in an okay spot no matter how the other countries act. Sometimes you want to guess what is going on and gamble to get something acomplished quickly or make "impossible" defenses happen. | ||

He has passed the standard stalemate line so he should be able to force up north for 18 centres as all the other players are far too disorganized pretty cool | ||
