Damn, guessed wrong at the end... great game. Lots of likely winners coming and going. Well done Mephisto - it was quite a battle.

Tried to hold out, but couldn't quite. Russia is tough in this one, particularly gunboat.

Yeah, that was a crazy game. That was great playing Russia.

It was a hard fight, my advantage was that Holland has only fleets no armys and that i could build a stalemate at BoB and WIO ...thank you for that exciting fight ...
18 May 18 UTC
Yeah I was wondering why Holland completely avoided any armies in the later stages of his growth - seems like he could have used one or two.

I was desperately trying to build an army towards the end, but got blocked against Japan.
18 May 18 UTC
Yes, by the end. But I was thinking when you hit 10 fleets you were overdue already.
18 May 18 UTC
I think I was being killed by Japan about then. Not sure why they retreated.
18 May 18 UTC
I retreated to let you fight Britain as I was no longer a solo threat.

China is not easy in this game...
18 May 18 UTC
No it is not.

@Mikey99 - you're right. China is probably the worst draw on this map. 1 solo and 7 eliminated in 8 games completed. It is really tough to do well with China. Looks like Britain has the strongest position. Of course, those stats don't distinguish Gunboat from press, and press games help even out disparities in start position.

France and China might as well not be on this map, lol.
