what helps is that you an dlief were the only 2 who joined all 7...

true, but there were players who joined multiple games like you, Shep, Spartan, ezpickins, etc.

I am likely to get a draw in 2 of my 3 games, and possible the 3rd.

I will update this tomorrow with the newest game results.

I survived with a draw in all 3 of the games I played in :)

Classic 8(Milan): 3-way draw, Austria(fasces349), Russia(Leif_Syverson), England(Vargh)

Fun facts: fasces349 manages to come up with 3 draws, now tied with me. Leif manages to get another draw(4 now), but finally takes his first defeat in Classic 1.

1 game remains to be concluded.

I would play in more of these if you have them. But, longer phases would be appreciated!

IMO 36 hours is the best phase length for full press, 24 hours for public press, 18 hours for gunboats.

I would have played in more if all the good ones didn't fill up before I got to them (I wanted to play in FOW and 1897 as well as in the 3 I signed up for)

@Diplomat and fasces- I will probably start some more around the beginning of July(right after the 4th), and will most likely bump phases up to 36 hrs.
