| 23 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: We meet again, btw why do you call these test games if they are rated? and what are you testing? |
| 23 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: No it is a format matter, you can check it out in help I think. That is the only way you can pull off these combos. I am sorry about that last game. I was entering 60 target scs but accidentally did 6. One good thing that came out of that was it raised awareness for other players. |
| 23 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: the map doesn't have 60 sc's so that is also an issue. Also for this game as russia having another unit and another building zone you do have an advantage. is there a reason you always pick russia instead of letting the game pick the country? |
| 23 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: No I actually randomized it. I just got lucky this time. As for the 60 scs that was just a way to max the target. It works for almost all variants so I stick to the number. I wish there could be 1v1 for every variant. It would be so much more fun |
| 23 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: I've always wanted to try Britain verse italy but italy gets a fleet in rome... |
| 24 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: Heh Heh. Austria vs britain is another good unofficial one. I wish there was a variant of classic map in which there were 3 more players. The Balkans, the nordic countries, and another one with portugal, spain, and tunis. |
| 24 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: there is one similar with 11 players http://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=14 |
| 24 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: Wow, I really appreciate you showing that. Thanks. :) |
| 24 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1901: no worries, its an interesting game with very hard diplomacy as there are no neutrals xD |
| 26 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: damn you can just steamroll so many more sc's then I can :( |
| 26 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: any chance you'd be okay with a moral victory here but concede to cancel out one of your two automatic wins? |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: Not so fast. I have to conquer all of you and I have won these games as france. |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: As for the moral victory I plan on conceding just before I conquer you |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: oh ya 34 sc's not 18... that said fair enough I will keep fighting, we shall see whats happens :) |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: though I took a look at your profile... I didn't see a game where you won as france. also saw 5 games of 6 sc limits with you as russia? but in any case I'm intrigued to know how france can beat russia in this map. I'll check out the stats soon |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: oh wait pick your countries... no stats as its not a normal variant... |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: No not here, the board game, I used to play a lot with my world history professor. |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Autumn, 1902: ahhhh fair enough, was hoping for a ratio and some ideas on how you might have done it... you've already got an almost good stalemate line and your armies out number me alottttt |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Spring, 1903: I put all of my force into troops and conquering austria and germany. Russia's divided forces are usually slightly outnumbered. If you succeed in that then you can push into central russia fairly easily. You should not worry too much about fleets because russia has bad fleet acess. |
| 27 Apr 17 UTC | Spring, 1903: I've always heard the other advice, if you can hold the edges of the map then you can surround and conquer the opponent who has to divide their forces to defend the exposed sc's |
