13 Jun 18 UTC	Spring, 1948: GameMaster: France voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
15 Jun 18 UTC	Ohhhhh,I am hard to believe.England and Italy could not stop Russia.This map is not balance for France England be too weak.
15 Jun 18 UTC	Good game everyone.
15 Jun 18 UTC	Good game
16 Jun 18 UTC	Congrats Russia! Germany, what gives?! I never had any interest in fighting you, but you never let up on my and just handed Russia the win! France, I think this is probably just a variant where a power is heavily disadvantaged because it's Gunboat.
16 Jun 18 UTC	Yeah,I know it's gunboat.But you and Italy didn't make a useful denfending line even if Germany attacked you without far plan.France against two countries but not be destroyed.Why others could not against soviet
16 Jun 18 UTC	I was hoping Italy would get into Aegean much quicker. I held Russia effectively in the North with my navies, but because I could never get a foothold on the continent, I couldn't do much to push into Germany and hold the Russians in Northern Germany. I'd have been happy to lay off you in Spain (I never even bothered trying to attack you in France itself), but I needed to try and pacify that front in Spain and use builds from Portugal and Madrid to build in Africa and the Middle East.
16 Jun 18 UTC	There is no limited war in Gunboat.I also need Spain to build in Mar.If you want some you should attacking all land though Italy may get more.
16 Jun 18 UTC	My expansion options were extremely limited - it was only a matter of time before I was put out of the middle East, I couldn't get anything in Germany or Scandinavia, so I used the option I had left. And of course you can pursue limited war in gunboat - if it's necessitated by a lack of resources it's precisely what you should do. My plan was to hold the Russians, work with the Germans to do so, and secure the Atlantic for myself. Once it was clear Germany had no interest in stopping Russia, Italy ended up being my best option.
16 Jun 18 UTC	Yea I agree in that Some of the German moves were questionable and mad it easy for me. No offense, but turning point for me was taking the German home SC of Kon early on. Pretty much guaranteed me dominance of Baltic. Surprised it wasn’t more heavily defended, but maybe Germany wasn’t aware of the build only in home SCs. I honestly didn’t know until year 2 myself.
16 Jun 18 UTC	Well played Russia. I could not understand why Germany attacked me in Salzburg. Until then we were allied against Russia and we could have held the line, but then Germany attacked me and England!! So then I had to fight him, while also trying to hold Russia and advance against France. Crazy play Germany!! And that's why he paid the ultimate price. Well done France in recognising the situation and not attacking me back as I pulled units off your front. I don't think this game is unbalanced but Germany is central and often the most powerful. But the Germany player in this game just didn't now how to keep alliances in gunboat.
16 Jun 18 UTC	Of course I should not attack you.But Italy could do more fast er in France as I used to play Italy.
16 Jun 18 UTC	I have played Italy several times but Italy needs good cooperation with Germany of Britain to take out France. England already said he would not attack France itself and Germany was useless, especially after Germany attacked me even as the Russians were coming at both if us.
16 Jun 18 UTC	While England didn't attack France itself but putted pressure on France,it was ITALY's chance. I have against FRANCE and GERMSNY at same time.Italy has big advantage over FRANCE even if ENGLAND do nothing.
16 Jun 18 UTC	Ok dude, whatever. Not going to argue with you if think I played like shit. I was in a reasonable position until Germany attacked me and that was just stupid. it made the game much easier for Russia and I had to put all my effort into that.
