21 Sep 17 UTC	Spring, 1907: Well-fought series!
21 Sep 17 UTC	Have to admit I hate E*vsT. Congrats.
21 Sep 17 UTC	It is a much less dynamic format than France vs Austria. FvA is probably a better one overall. I think if we were playing for fun, I would have rematched you on FvA, but I felt like I had a better shot in E*vT.
21 Sep 17 UTC	I am not very strategic and tend to play by the seat of my pants. Which means 1vs1 doesn't really suit me overall, but especially TvsE!
21 Sep 17 UTC	I tend to not even play the classic map any more, except Fog of War, due to those tiresome stalemate lines around Munich and the western Med.
21 Sep 17 UTC	I haven't tried a FoW variant in a long time. I bet that adds an interesting dimension to the game. I can definitely sympathize with the stalemate lines being tiresome. I find that I play better in formats where they're clearly understood, like Classic, because they help me define the parameters of where and how to engage. More open maps are harder for me to play since there's so many things to play around.
21 Sep 17 UTC	FoW is the best. And it's the only time I can do well as Austria on the classic map (4 solos from 9 attempts). :-) But I only play Gunboat these days, due to time constraints. Atlantic Colonies is a super-open map I like playing too. Virtually no stalemate lines. ;-)
