30 Oct 20 UTC	Good game! I wasn't going to make it out past Java Sea, excellent defense down there.
30 Oct 20 UTC	gg! with this game, I now will have played every power on this map! Japan really needs to ally china or to have a strong alliance against china in the early game...
30 Oct 20 UTC	It's a tough alliance to have for long since China can't break into Europe or Middle East by land. I think you're right it's best for Japan to attack.
30 Oct 20 UTC	GG! Britain is really overpowered in this game. The fact that I was able to stay in the draw even though I only had 5 SCs is sort of ridiculous, and Britain has access to 3 out of the 4 corner positions in this map (Northern Europe, SW Africa, and Australia). Also massive shoutout to Germany for not trying to getting too greedy with trying to invade the Pacific and to China for getting pretty close to the solo.
30 Oct 20 UTC	This is off topic but any tips for the SU for this variant in gunboat?
30 Oct 20 UTC	SU?
30 Oct 20 UTC	Soviet Union
30 Oct 20 UTC	Lol I just realized it's Russia, I saw the bright red and just assumed it was called Soviet Union
30 Oct 20 UTC	oh! I solo'd as Russia in a previous gunboat game china did not kick me out of my eastern ports which was a huge help; I basically became what china is now, except I had home centers I could build in on the western side of that big stalemate line. It also helped that turkey gave up very early

31 Oct 20 UTC	I got crushed in my Russia game, I think it depends on whether or not Austria and Turkey cooperate against you. On the other front it seems easy for China to win the fight vs Russia, and as China the gains are slow without taking Russia on. The colonial powers are better for solo since they can avoid getting stuck in one section. West Africa around Mid Atlantic in particular I've got stalemated at with no recourse.
31 Oct 20 UTC	Good Game. I am just replacement that only had couple SCs when I came. Thus I just played around with Turkey before it ended for me.
31 Oct 20 UTC	Good game! Thanks for the strong alliance Germany! ;-)
31 Oct 20 UTC	Fun game. I was really worried for a while that China was going to get the needed centers through Indonesia/Australia, it can be so difficult in gunboat for multiple nations to coordinate a defense. Glad to find stable cooperation among most of you. I was fully prepared to lock it down with France too, tried to communicate peace, but they kept attacking.
01 Nov 20 UTC	Thank you for takeing me in the draw.
