01 Nov 17 UTC Alright guys, very well done. I’m not going to make you wait for several more years of trying to grab a last center.
01 Nov 17 UTC GG - Fortunately, mouse and I realised in time that holding back the Munster monster was vital - seems appropriate for Halloween! And why BR, did you expose your back to the monster to attack an obvious ally - BS BR!
01 Nov 17 UTC Good game. Thanks for the draw there, DrR; pretty sure you could have scored that last centre from me before England managed to grab anything from you.
01 Nov 17 UTC 'Expose my back to the monster to attack an obvious ally'? You had done nothing me the whole game through and then even supported Munster into Leeuwarden when it was clear Munster was going to run me down completely.

In that moment i really thought you'd given the game to Munster. Good for you that France was awake ;-)
01 Nov 17 UTC Anyway, good game! I peaked way too early and didn't read the variant well enough. A costly mistake.
01 Nov 17 UTC BS BR - You were repeatedly attacking MAR with support, and moved to COH and NZE - all anti-English moves and more importantly moving you moved multiple units away from the front line with Dr. What self-serving rubbish; I can see a perfectly reasonabkle strategic change of direction, trying to win Munster as an ally, but to paint it as my perfidy. Crap
01 Nov 17 UTC Perhaps we have different ways of signalling willingness too cooperate. Not once did you put out a support hold for me (from Mar) while you could've easily done so (you instead support held your navy in CNS that didn't need any support hold). I can't smell that you would be on my side as you tried getting into NZU and had not once made any aggressive moves towards Munster.

You put me in a position where you didn't clearly showcase any support. If i would not have defended myself against you there's a good chance you would have taken advantage of my campaign against Munster (as I was initially the biggest player on the board).
01 Nov 17 UTC Being a Dutchman i would've much rather taken out the German (the Brits are fine people to me ;-) ) Yet, i couldn't take the risks of more British naval landings in my region. If you had gotten the hell out of MAR or showcased support for my cause, i would've responded very differently.

01 Nov 17 UTC Bob, your incursion as far south as you came basically killed us both, Doc had no where to go but through you or I and try as I might I could not win him as an ally. He had no trouble taking us both down at the same time after your overreach.

Once he took his chunk from my backside I tried for the vain hope that I could let him get too big for France to take me out and thus try to land a spot in the draw, but that was a long shot from the beginning.

Good game everybody.
01 Nov 17 UTC For which I apologise, Leif ;-). I was definitely poorly reading the variant and got blinded by the desire for a swift top gun position, that did backfire tremendously.
