08 Jan 17 UTC	Spring, 1901: GameMaster: Please remember that negotiations before the game begins are not allowed.
08 Jan 17 UTC	Spring, 1901: Info: This is a choose your country game.
08 Jan 17 UTC	Spring, 1901: I'm here; let's go!
08 Jan 17 UTC	Spring, 1901: sweet.
08 Jan 17 UTC	Autumn, 1901: That was what I meant to do in the other game!
08 Jan 17 UTC	Autumn, 1902: some people France has the leg up in this game, but i firmly think that Austria has the advantage.
08 Jan 17 UTC	So you retreat into Trieste and this game is over too! I better concede now!
08 Jan 17 UTC	I probably need that strategy lesson now!
08 Jan 17 UTC	GameMaster: Austria voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes Concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Conceede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat.
08 Jan 17 UTC	haha. just play it out. you never know.
08 Jan 17 UTC	You have played this too many times and know what probabilities there are before I can come up with them.
08 Jan 17 UTC	Once you have Trieste, you are already in my back lines and I have no builds and have to disband somewhere, so it just gets embarrassing.
08 Jan 17 UTC	So beside Munich and Kiel, the other key SC's are Tunis and St Pete? I could have guessed Tunis, but probably not St Pete.
08 Jan 17 UTC	as France, you have two possible openings. Brest -> MAO Par -> Bur Mar - > Pie or Brest -> MAO Par -> Pic Mar - > Bur
08 Jan 17 UTC	the 2nd concedes venice for time being to concentrate north?
08 Jan 17 UTC	either move is focused on taking either St. Pete or Tunis. by keeping either one of those, and maintaining Munich and Berlin, you will have 17 SCs. if you can get both St. Pete and Tunis. you will have 18 for the victory.
08 Jan 17 UTC	yes. taking Venice is basically impossible. but by moving there, you make Aus focus on getting that unit and allows you to move other units elsewhere.
08 Jan 17 UTC	the challenge is that the best move by both sides is to move North and ignore Marseilles/Piedmont. Brest -> MAO Par -> Pic Mar - > Bur and Vie -> Tyr Bud -> Gal Tri -> Alb
08 Jan 17 UTC	but if either team takes the south move, then the other has to react and not give up position
08 Jan 17 UTC	as Aus, my preferred move is Vie -> Tyr Bud -> Tri Tri -> Alb
