13 Jun 12 UTC Sorry guys, but just had to make a try after Turkey pointed out the winning conditions to me.
13 Jun 12 UTC By completely raping my back lines. Yeh, great.
13 Jun 12 UTC Well I am still not convinced that the 28 limits is correct. It just sounds to low.
13 Jun 12 UTC Read the variant homepage of this game on this website!
14 Jun 12 UTC Read it, but you can never be sure until you've tested it.
Initially I thought this variant required 41 Sc to be won, so when Turkey told me only 28 were needed I was at first extremely doubtful as it flew against common diplomacy "wisdom". But it also raised some questions. I had initially planned for a 3-way, but with only 28 SC even unitentional mistakes could put one of GT at or over 28, so in the end I decided to make a go at 28 to see if the variant description was correct and of course to win. I did also need to position myself in case the variant description was wrong. I attacked Turkey to ensure 28, put also to position myself in case the description was wrong, as T could just as well have gone for me anyway after a 28 attempt.
Interesting board that cpuld have been better had not so many players left and forgotten their moves. The India-Turkey alliance is a rather interesting option to test further.
