Dc197 Winter 1913 - kevinokelly at gmail.com   (May 19, 2009, 8:45 am)
I vote YES to that deal.  Sorry to have it come to that.  I never thought I'd last past a couple of years with where I started. 
 
My reasonings for my play, before I fell off the map, was to have France and Germany fight before I continued any attack onto Austria.  Once I had cleared Russia out of the south, Austria was in no position to fight F/G before France fell off the map.  France had a fleet into ION and past the Austrian line.  That was all I needed to stay viable at that point. 
 
Once France fell off the map, I had to make a decision when to stab.  I thought I had timed it well, but it seems I was one year too early.  The year that I stabbed, Austria was really lining up to take a few centers and I thought he saw that it was in his best interests not to help me at that point.
 
I thought Germany and Russia played it well against Austria in the mid-game.  Austria made a tactical error one of the years to let G/R advance all the way to Moscow and Warsaw.  However, Austria regained the tactical advantage and pushed north while Germany.
 
I have a lot of thoughts on this game and may expound more after the wedding if I have some time.  As disappointing of a finish as this is for me, and for my part in the finish of the others... there was a real dynamic to this game that presented itself and I wish I would have taken advantage of it better.
 
If the vote fails, well... maybe I'll change some of what I said.

I propose an Austria solo - he can get the three he needs by taking
TUN, GRE and either CON or SMY LOOOONNNNG before I can
get anywhere near the number I need to solo.  Heck, GRE and TUN
are his for fall 1914.

I'm all for fighting as long as there is a chance, but this game is now past that
point.

(well earned ) Austrian solo - what say ye?

Congrats to the draw finishers. Sorry I bailed on the game... getting married in 5 days. Lots of planning to finish. Good times.

Well, It's official. With all parties agreeing, a draw between England, France, and Turkey , with a survival by Germany, has been enacted. The final standings are:

Draws:
1st) France - 13 centers
2nd) England - 12 centers
3rd) Turkey - 8 centers
Survivals:
4th) Germany - 1 centers
Eliminations:
5th )Russia - 14 seasons
6th) Italy-14 seasons
7th) Austria - 4 seasons

It has been an honor to be your GM, and I hope to encounter you in future games. Now, for the sake of my own, and your likely curiosity, I did run the adjudication, and the new map is below. Now, the end has already been reached, and this will have no actual influence anywhere, but anyway, here it is:

England:
A Berlin Supports A Holland - Kiel
F English Channel - London
A Holland - Kiel
F Kiel - Helgoland Bight
A Liverpool - Wales
A Moscow Supports A Warsaw
F North Sea - Holland (*Fails*)
F Norwegian Sea - North Atlantic Ocean
A Silesia Supports A Warsaw
A St Petersburg Supports A Moscow
A Warsaw Supports A Moscow

France:
A Belgium Supports A Ruhr - Holland
A Bohemia Supports A Munich
F Brest - English Channel (*Bounce*)
A Budapest Supports A Trieste
F Mid-Atlantic Ocean - English Channel (*Bounce*)
A Munich, no move received
F Naples Supports F Tunis - Ionian Sea
A Paris - Burgundy
A Picardy Supports A Belgium
A Ruhr - Holland
A Trieste Supports A Budapest
F Tunis - Ionian Sea (*Bounce*)
F Western Mediterranean, no move received

Germany:
A Vienna Supports A Budapest

Turkey:
F Aegean Sea Supports F Eastern Mediterranean - Ionian Sea
A Albania Supports A Serbia
F Eastern Mediterranean - Ionian Sea (*Bounce*)
A Galicia Supports A Vienna
A Rumania Supports A Galicia
A Serbia Supports A Albania
A Sevastopol Supports A Ukraine
A Ukraine Supports A Galicia





Anyway, now that everybody knows what happened, I can finish this up. As I've said before, you've been an amazing group of people to work with, and I hope to be in games with all of you in the future. If you want, feel free to write an end game statement, your choice, of course. Also, I'm fully aware that I'm not a perfect person, so if anyone has any suggestions about how I can improving my GMing, please, don't hesitate to tell me. Until then, though, again, well done, and good luck in all your future games.
-Sam Buck
Your Former GM

All orders are in and I have the map done, but I'm calling it a night.
So since it is before the deadline there is an extension until tomorrow.

Feel free to call the GM police if this is a problem.
