14 Nov 17 UTC GG, was hoping you'd leave me the whole of Italy, but never mind. Was hoping you'd take the bare minimum as that meant I'd be better off than in a draw, but never mind.
Well played all
14 Nov 17 UTC Austria - I should have left you a bit more, but I wanted to be sure and probably went a bit far to make sure I took enough as I didn't know if you might push back.

I was willing/hoping to go the whole game cooperating with you, but those NMRs caused a lot of trouble. After your second NMR, I advanced my units to the front lines and was willing to sit there as long as you didn't miss another move. But you did and I eventually got into a stalemate situation against Italy/Japan so it had to be done - otherwise you would have just been slowly eroded away on that side.
14 Nov 17 UTC I completely understand why you did it, no worries here
14 Nov 17 UTC Austria you played a very bad game favouring Germany.
14 Nov 17 UTC Italy - I'm not sure about that - I think if we had coordinated a bit better, we could have taken the Mideast from you and Austria could have done much better - we needed to force some more fleets through Cairo a lot sooner, though. Austria's NMRs just killed him with Japan. And if Austria had attacked me, I had more than enough defense set up and I would have just plowed into him and started taking away his territory and wouldn't have stopped. Austria probably would have been best off if he let me get to just 50 a few years sooner, before Japan had nipped quite so much territory from him, but I'm not sure he would have understood how that was overall better for him if I started doing it when his position was a bit better - again the NMRs made a difference as each time that happened, Japan surged.

Japan - nice job helping Italy out. Without your assistance to Italy, I would have broken Italy down and taken him out and left Austria alive.
14 Nov 17 UTC Japan - You fought a good fight. The 20-hour phases this game were killer for me and I NMRd at least twice because of it.
14 Nov 17 UTC It's amazing how 20 hour phases make so much difference, I figured it was just 4 hours less than I was used to, but just couldn't catch it every time. If I had thought and not just assumed then it would've been obvious, but we can't think ever time, right? Haha
