27 Oct 20 UTC Spring, 1861: Info: This is a choose your country game.
25 Nov 20 UTC Autumn, 1864: GameMaster: Someone has taken over USA replacing "Ashtar". Reconsider your alliances.
25 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 1875: GameMaster: Brazil 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 Mar 21 UTC [Russia]:Britain I really did not want to fight you as you were an excellent ally. But once Japan was helping you vs France then you would have solo'd - France had more than enough SCs for you. I moved all my units to our border in the Spring purely to pressure you to Draw like everyone else, if I was going to stab you properly I would have disguised it at least! But you called my bluff so had to act!
GG all.
15 Mar 21 UTC [Mexico]:Well played. I think my biggest mistake was getting tied up in brazil and just getting stuck. That allowed japan slowly finish me off
15 Mar 21 UTC [USA]:GG all, sad that I only got to play about two phases but good to see some people I recognize
15 Mar 21 UTC [Austria]:I'm with you USA.. was short for me too.
15 Mar 21 UTC [Brazil]:Gg all.
Well done Joe to pressure a " little bit" Britain into a draw !
15 Mar 21 UTC [Britain]:GG. Obviously I thought about going for the solo, but in the end I left it too late, and I doubt I was ever strong enough. I was pretty sure the rest of you would have cooperated effectively to stop me, even in a no press game I'd just decided to allow Japan to finish off Holland, and then agree the draw when you turned on me Russia.
15 Mar 21 UTC [France]:Good game. I was worried for a while that I had too many enemies at once when Britain started attacking! Thanks to Russia for seeing the solo threat and establishing the peaceful border in Europe that I needed.
15 Mar 21 UTC [Russia]:I can't believe how long Holland survived!
15 Mar 21 UTC [Britain]:If I had of gone for the solo, it was to my advantage to have Holland there reducing the number of fleets Japan could attack me with. I started attacking you France because you built a fleet in Brest, thus making my defences in the Atlantic insecure. Attack is the best means of defence.
15 Mar 21 UTC [France]:Ah, that explains why you were only attacking on one side, not in Africa as well!
15 Mar 21 UTC [Britain]:And if I'd gone all out for you, that would have provoked Russia and others to attack me.
15 Mar 21 UTC [Holland]:I was blown away how long it took Japan and Britain to work out how t o kill me so the big boys could draw.

And hat tip to Dr Recommended. You now higher ranked than me, great job!
17 Mar 21 UTC [Japan]:Cheers Amby, I’ll catch you again on my way back down ;)
17 Mar 21 UTC [Holland]:LOL
