DC302 EOG - Sean2010   (May 28, 2010, 2:03 pm)
DC302 Russian EOG Statement
 
Thank you Michael for GMing this one, it was very fun.
Thank you again, Frank, for filling the German position in this one.
Congratulations to Simon and Mike for their part in the draw.
Thank you, everyone for playing this game. It was a lot of fun.
 
The Russian prospective:
 
In the opening of this game, I had predominantly explored options with the powers of Europe to try to determine my best possible alliance agreement. I ran into a few snags.
1). German-Russo communications didn't do well, and I had to double check my DC302 e-mail fail to double check if we had exchanged any communication before Frank had taken over the helm of Germany.
2). Austrian-Russo communication had been sparse at best.
3). The most receptive countries appeared to be England, France, Italy, and Turkey.
 
        Since German-Russo communication non-existent, I agreed to help Anglo-Franco to dismantle Germany. I had agreed to attack Sil, and I had tried to establish it as an arranged bounce but communication remained non-existent even though he did bounce me in Swe.
        At the end of the first year, I found myself bounced in Swe and building for Ber and Rum.
 
        At this point, Frank had taken the reigns of Germany and immediately began making maneuvers to re-establish the German position as a formidable force. With France and Germany cooperating, it made little sense for me to maintain Ber. With an anti-English Franco-German alliance, I didn't see how I could maintain my position against Germany, and I was fighting a second front in the south. I tried repeatedly to get Turkey to move on Austria, and Mike did a good job allowing me to believe I had some measure of success. I felt that if I could help Italy against Austria and turn Turkey against Austria; I had a fighting chance wrapping up the southern front. In the end, my southern strategy utterly failed, Nice job Mike.
In the north, I was much more successful. Frank had offered me peace by vacating Ber, and I had used the Franco-German alliance to re-establish myself in Stp by supporting England into Swe.
At this point, Turkey's successful stab left me bleeding heavily. I was literally on the ropes here. I felt that my best chances at this point were maintain my northern influence, so I could play with the western balance of power. As a result, I disbanded my southern armies with the exception of Mos.
I suspect that my saving grace with Turkey in the south was predominantly Austria's continued civil disorder forced him to dually use his AA Bud as a defensive measure against Italy and work around him to expand into Russia giving me a chance to diplomatically gain footing. In my mind, I believed that I needed to pick a front and focus my military on that front. "When confronted with a two front war, concentrate where you can do the most damage" was something heavily ingrained into me by my Diplomacy teacher.
 
I felt that I needed to keep England and Germany counter-balanced while I attempted to form friendly relations with Turkey who predominantly would determine my fate in this one. Initially, I thought that I was at best playing a Kamikaze strategy. I tried to strengthen Germany to prevent France from being able to seize the moment and stab him. It served to prevent Germany from contemplating moving an army or two eastward, which would have spelt my doom despite any headway with Turkey who was looping around a continued civil disordered Austria. In hindsight, this failed attempt was what had brought me back from the brink to help Germany into both Swe and Nwy had been the biggest turning point for me. I was able to arrange support into Nwy, defend War, and I was able to effectively increase my influence by helping France cripple England and Germany at the same time. This had dually brought me back from the brink, and France's growth allowed me to try pointing an inevitable Anglo-German alliance at France.
 
At this point, I was able to establish negotiations against Anglo-Germany with France, and Anglo-German negotiations against France. I felt that if I could get Anglo-Germany against France; I could buy myself enough time to get Turkey to knife through Italy who at this point remained stalemated against one another. Since my aid to France boosted his chances of a solo, I felt; I had some avenues to work with. Franco-Russo strategy had been formed, so I felt that I could use it indirectly to use Anglo-Germany to slow his expansion down. But, I ran into two predominant snags.
1). I felt that the predominant Anglo-German strategy placed too much emphasis on moving on Hol and Kie while leaving England to his fate. I strongly believed that the German strategy was to attempt to survive by allowing France to loop around him.
2). I believe that Frank saw through my strategy while I believe; I saw his.
        At this point, I maintained my agreement with France, which was blind luck that Italy didn't successfully use negotiations between England, Germany, and I to increase his position with both France and Turkey.
        It was incredibly close though; I had to change my orders between classes during the day of the deadline. I suspect that Italy did pass Russian movements to Turkey whom moves two armies into Russia via Ukr and Sev. Had I went gave in to German demands, I would have been caught completely out of position to defend against Turkey's anti-Russian movements. In a way, the breakdown of Anglo-German-Russian negotiations had saved me from imminent collapse. My grandfather literally had always said that sometimes it is better to be lucky than smart; my resulting orders left me taking Swe and leaving War and Mos in defensive postures. Or, as my teacher put it, "When in doubt attack your enemy/attack something".
 
        Towards the end of the game, I nearly made a fatal mistake that I'm not entirely sure what happened. The W06 NBR caused me a major disruption in strategy. Turkey and I had agreed to stalemate France at this point, and I had aimed to bld A Stp, so Turkey wouldn't be tempted to try filling the stalemate line himself on the off chance while it would have allowed me to order War-Sil and Mos-Lvn. I felt that if Simon wanted to solo this one; he'd have to stab me in Scandinavia and Ber-Pru to effectively do it. Until that move, I had no idea Italy would NMR, and I suspected Simon would want two to three options for his 18th supply center. Unfortunately, I made the brutal mistake of not sending a second winter build e-mail since I hadn't uncharacteristically up to that juncture received confirmation of my build orders. (This was definitely my error, Michael T, I should have sent a follow up e-mail to try avoiding this NBR. [When will this count towards my NMR in my profile anyhow? It hadn't registered since I last logged into DC] I admit that the NBR hurt my pride more than being stabbed 4 times in the same game counting France's non-assault on Mun earlier in the game).
Swe-Pru and Bal C Swe-Pru/Swe-Ber and Bal C Swe-Ber were perhaps one of my best tactical gambles I made in this one. It kept France out of Pru, defended Swe, and may have played a role with Sil. I'm fairly certain it caused Simon more guess work, which may have played a role in the 3-way draw vote.
 
My assessment of the players:
 
England (Matt): Definitely a formidable diplomat and strategist, you definitely had me backed into a corner, and you probably would have penetrated deeper into Russia if the Anglo-Franco alliance remained intact a bit longer.
 
Italy (Brian): What diplomacy we had was very good, we worked effectively together; unfortunately, we both quieted down during the middle until being included in forming a coalition against France/trying to get me to move on Turkey. It's definitely a weakness of mine diplomatically to fall silent when I'm not sure what to communicate. I'm honestly not sure if or how being ADHD played a role here. You have my apologies here; I should have kept communication up throughout gameplay.
 
Germany (Frank): You did a splendid job bouncing Germany back from the brink. If Austria hadn't went awol and left Turkey to stalemate Italy, I probably would have been forced to continue my policy towards strengthening Germany up just to try surviving this one. Your diplomacy was very eloquent and your strategy and tactics would have definitely allowed you to gain a winning seat if things turned out differently.
 
France (Simon): Again congrats for attaining a winning position, your diplomacy, strategy, and tactics definitely brought you to the brink of a solo here. I'm not entirely sure if I could have prevented you from penetrating into Stp, but I would have did my best to make you work for it.
 
Turkey (Mike): Again congrats for attaining a winning position. Your stab against me was a thing of beauty; I honestly didn't see it coming. Between Matt and you, I spent most of the early game simply trying to survive. I truly believe if Austria hadn't went into civil disorder; you two would have dually pushed Italy out of Austria and used Russia as a building platform. Your absence from the hobby definitely didn't dull your dagger and diplomatic skills any. I definitely lost the ability to move on Sev in the late stages of the game; I was convinced that I needed to fortify Scandinavia to prevent France from breaking through especially at a rapid rate. I also needed to plug Sil and Pru as fast as possible. I wonder how close I came to Simon ordering Ber-Sil while he defended Den and Kie.
 
Austria (Steve): You definitely had a good opening, but I think that you lost interest after being reduced to a single supply center. I don't think that Turkey would have deprived you as his smaller ally, and it probably was the biggest reason why I was able to stage a comeback. Even with your one unit, you were very useful to Turkey, so it would make sense that you could have staged a comeback yourself. I hope to see you again, and I hope that you remember comebacks are possible. I wouldn't worry too much of being eliminated; it happens (I've been there before; in fact, I'm probably one of the few who are willing to be eliminated and replace a player in the same game only to be eliminated a second time in one game). I hope that you continue to play and that you had fun.

DC302 Game End Statement - Slangers   (May 28, 2010, 8:45 am)
Well, first of all a big French thank you to Michael for running the game so well. We had no GM errors in this game at all, and I know that is a great achievement. Everything ran like clockwork and that kept the game enjoyable to the end. Thanks also to all players for their contributions, but especially to England, Germany and Russia who gave me the best interactions.
Congratulations to Mike and Sean for their part in this draw.
So... How was it from my point of view.
As France it was clear that I would have to deal with the eternal E-F-G triangle. The first German player was somewhat flaky and not interested in this issue at all. He was hell-bent on destroying Russia for some obscure reason. I played on this and encouraged Russia to kill him in return, whilst plotting with England. Matt was a very good ally and we clicked quickly and came up with a plan to take out the German. The outcome of this was the German drop out. When Frank joined the game I remained determined to work with England to remove Germany and I remember telling Frank this. I was also poised to attack Italy, who had said virtually nothing to me throughout the game. However, at this point Matt got very greedy and advanced a plan that would give him 4 sc very quickly with me gaining nothing. I couldn't let this happen so worked a stab with German support. Matt was caught completely cold and I even scammed him with a not particularly honourable follow up whereby he disbanded a very annoying army that had retreated to Picardy. I gave up on the plan to attack Italy to focus my attack on England and I guess I was lucky that Brian was so focused on Turkey. This gave the space to throw a great many fleets northward.
Frank and I worked well together and gradually pushed England back and then when the right time came I went for the German centres too. This was a big gamble as together Frank and Matt were a formidable force to contemplate taking on. I think I judged it just right though, particularly as I had the help of Sean. Sean played a great game here and after a really poor start ended up holding the balance of power. He wielded this to great effect and I am happy to say I had his support for a lot of the middle portion of the game. His disruption of G-E operations in Scandinavia really helped me a lot.
It became clear at the start of the last game year that I was not going to be able to force a solo win, although up to that point I had very high hopes. Throughout the game R and T had been skirmishing and did not appear to have much of a working relationship and too many of the Turkish units were fleets. However at the end Russia and Turkey formed a good alliance (Russia saw my final stab coming a mile off) and Italy just folded rather pathetically. Italian actions really annoyed me as the Italian centres were just handed over to Turkey without any fight at all. Turkey grew at an alarming rate (finally getting some armies into play) and that was that. The way Italy played the last 2 years turned an interesting game into a stone dead draw. NMRs are always annoying but when coupled with play that is so ill-considered really wrecks a game.
Overall, DC302 was one of the good games- I will remember it fondly.
Simon

As I've already received orders from
two of the four remaining active powers, I thought I'd
suggest that if I receive four sets of orders confirmed as
final before the suggested deadline, I'll adjudicate. 
The two players I've received orders from (naming no names,
Simon and Sean!!) would need to confirm that their orders
are final...

Spring 1907...and Italy looks to be
on the way out, as he loses two centres to advancing
Turkish
forces, whilst Tunis will surely fall in the Fall. 
Elsewhere, Russian attempts to tactically withdraw
from
Denmark are thwarted by a french advance east.

Russia only had one retreat of his Danish army - to

which I've made.  Sean, if you want ot disband that
army, let me know asap.  Fall deadline is Wednesday

Hello Frank,
 
I apologize for my end of that; unfortunately, the damage is done without neither Michael nor I being sure what caused the problem. So, I am ensuring that the issue isn't repeated... I hate NMRing.

Regardless whether he's regarded to be in CD or not, I think it's unfair to the other players to NMR. Worse, it shows no respect at all for two powers that have just been eliminated despite all their efforts to stay alive...  Sad



2010/5/17 Michael Thompson <psychosis(at)sky.com>

I've received a couple of queries as to Italy's status in the game, given an NMR from him for Fall 1906 moves and also for Winter 1906 adjustments.


This *doesn't* place Italy in Civil Disorder...in my house rules, I note that civil disorders are caused by two consecutive NMRs.  However, for the purposes of counting NMRs, Spring and Summer count as one season, and Fall, Autumn and Winter as another.  To trigger the two consecutive rule, a player needs to miss a move submission in Spring/Summer and then again in Fall/Autumn/Winter (or Fall/Autumn/Winter and then again in Spring/Summer) - so an NMR in Spring and then the lack of a retreat in Summer only counts as one NMR.  Or in the case of Italy recently, an NMR for Fall and then again for Winter only counts as one NMR.


Hope this makes sense.  I'll acknowledge that this isn't 100% clear in my rules, but this rule is a fairly standard one across the DC site...

Upshot of this is, Italy isn't in civil disorder, as his previous NMR was for Spring 1905.  However, if he misses Spring 1907 orders or any Summer 1907 retreats, then he will be placed in civil disorder.

DC302 Fall 1906 adjudication - bielf11   (May 14, 2010, 2:24 pm)
Guys,
thanks for the game. It was a nice chance to step in for Germany and try save it from its annihilation.Things initially looked promising but then events took a downturn. Can't say too much now without disclosing information prematurely but special thanks for Sean and Simon for making this a great game. And Matt for without him it would have been far less interesting. 
And Michael, thanks for GMing.
Good luck for those who remain. I'll be watching this game to see who come out victorious.
Frank

2010/5/14 Pork Belly <porkbelly00(at)gmail.com>

Belatedly, I'll still weigh in to thank Frank and Matt for the game. The gracious Pasha has already dispatched the gifts, so you should be receiving your mail-order brides shortly. I guess we'll just have to make do with the French papers from now on.



Cheers chaps, see you in the next game!
Mike

Fall 1906 sees Germany and England exit the game, with England's fate determined in Spring this year, and Germany seeing France and Russia combine to take over his two remaining centres.  Italy NMRs but not two consecutive ones, so doesn't fall into civil disorder.



I've taken the liberty of processing Autumn 1906.  This involved disbanding the two German forces - both technically had a retreat, but with no centres, would have been disbanded in winter anyway.  For Italy, I've taken the liberty of retreating Naples to it's only valid retreat - Rome, and Western Mediterranean to Tyrennhian Sea.  Western Med can retreat to North Africa if needed, so if Italy wants to make that retreat, can they inform me with their winter adjustments.

DC302 Fall 1906 adjudication




I'd like to say farewell to Matt and Frank and thanks for their contributions to the game. You've both been very worthy foes and excellent former allies to me in this game. It's been a lot of fun and I look forward to taking you on again in future battles of wits.

Subject: DC302 Fall 1906 adjudication



Fall 1906 sees Germany and England exit the game, with England's fate determined in Spring this year, and Germany seeing France and Russia combine to take over his two remaining centres.  Italy NMRs but not two consecutive ones, so doesn't fall into civil disorder.

I've taken the liberty of processing Autumn 1906.  This involved disbanding the two German forces - both technically had a retreat, but with no centres, would have been disbanded in winter anyway.  For Italy, I've taken the liberty of retreating Naples to it's only valid retreat - Rome, and Western Mediterranean to Tyrennhian Sea.  Western Med can retreat to North Africa if needed, so if Italy wants to make that retreat, can they inform me with their winter adjustments.

Winter adjustments due tomorrow Friday 14th May, 2100GMT. 

A French solo vote also fails.

Guys,
thanks for the game. It was a nice chance to step in for Germany and try save it from its annihilation.Things initially looked promising but then events took a downturn. Can't say too much now without disclosing information prematurely but special thanks for Sean and Simon for making this a great game. And Matt for without him it would have been far less interesting. 
And Michael, thanks for GMing.
Good luck for those who remain. I'll be watching this game to see who come out victorious.

DC302 status - psychosis1973   (May 03, 2010, 3:48 am)
Gents
Over the weekend, I've received a request from a player that the Autumn retreats and adjustments are dealt with separately. I think this is a reasonable request, so I'll publish retreats by the original deadline of 2100 GMT today (about 12 hours away) and then ask for adjustments 24 hours after that.
In future, I'll highlight the option of conditional adjustments should I deem it appropriate, but for this turn, as I didn't announce that in advance, I'll separate out the two phases.
As a note, I haven't received notification of all retreats yet.

Fall 1905 sees England down to 1
centre and Germany down to 2, following continuing French
offensives in the west.  Germany, England and Italy
seem to be having communication or translation issues, as
support orders fail in Munich and around Holland and the
North sea. Meanwhile, France sends a fleet into the Med, and
Turkey advances further against Italy.

There's two retreats needed, and as one has multiple
retreat options, I haven't auto retreated.  However,
we'll run the Autumn retreats and the Winter adjustments
together to save some time, as I don't think either retreat
really affects adjustment decisions.

Deadline for Autumn/Winter is 2100GMT Tuesday 4 May (I'll
adjudicate before then if all orders received)

English F London can retreat to Yorkshire or disband.
German A Munich can retreat to Silesia or Bohemia or
disband.

Adjustments:

Austria:   Supp  1 Unit  1
Build  0
England:   Supp  1 Unit  2
Remove  1 (0 if London disbanded)
France:    Supp 11 Unit 10 Build  1

It's oh so quiet - Slangers   (Apr 29, 2010, 12:04 pm)
Late in the afternoon as during late summer, Marshall Grenouille left his bunker and strode among the crowds thronging the Champs Elysees. Walking towards the Eifel Tower it suddenly struck him that Paris was completely silent. Summoning an aide he boomed, "What is the meaning of all this nonsense?". "Mon cher Marshal," replied the aide, "it is the city holding it's breath awaiting the outcome of our noble defensive manouevres to the west. Our fate is in the balance as we face the might hordes of England and Germany. The people are frightened by the Anglo-Boche aggression".

"Pah!", replied the Marshal. "We shall prevail no matter what. Those cases of Greek ouzo sent by the Pasha have been used to create a new deadly form of munitions. Munich will be reduced to rubble. London will be annihilated. We will triumph and put an end to all of this Oktoberfest nonsense. We will put an end to feesh and cheeps and the rest of that foul cuisine so favoured by the English."

"But what of the Russians and the Italians, sir", quivered the aide.

"Ah, what of them, indeed. Their silence speaks volumes. The French people must pray that if we unjustly fall victim to treachery, our noble friend the Pasha will launch his programme of 'education' among the Italian and Russian forces. Now call me a taxi, I have an appointment at the Russian embassy."

DC302 - French envoy captured on its way to Russia - bielf11   (Apr 27, 2010, 5:05 pm)
Der Spiegel, headlines:


"Norwegian Salmon Endangered
Scientists warn that the naval war in and around the North Sea is endangering the natural habitat of various species, including the Norwegian salmon. At the same time demand is at an all-time high, especially from Russia, which is already leading to overfishing. Prices are soaring and if the war continues the export of the Norwegian Salmon will drop to an all-time low."

 
"Western diplomats hesitant to visit the Turkish Pasha
Plenty of diplomats travelling between all European capitals. Except one: Istanbul.
No official explanations were provided but a source at the Italian court told us that western diplomats fear the moment they are introduced to the 17 wives of the Pasha. It is hard enough to remember the name of the spouse of the european leaders, but seventeen? And to also remember their ranking, so as not to insult the wives and the Pasha? But even if a diplomat would have the skills to remember all this, there is still the nightmare of having to come up with the proper gift for each of them."

 
"Italian strike is over
The empire-wide strike that engulfed Italy last Spring seems to be over. We have received reports of troop movements throughout the Mediterannean and the Balkan. It doesn't say whether the troops are moving away from or returning to their motherland but there is definitely an increase of activity near the Alps."

 
"French export of sardines has tripled
Recently shiploads of canned sardines were seen leaving Brest. The containers were all marked Norway and St Petersburg. The crews seemed to be mixed French and Russian. Surprisingly each ship had a group of heavily-armed officers on board. Could they be expecting trouble along the way?"


"Oktober Festen reinstated
The famous Oktober Festen in Munich will be reinstated. This has been declared by the German Chancellor after the troops had called out victory. Since the French had taken Munich they had tried to close down many of the breweries that Munich is so well-known for. Many of these breweries had continued underground and are now restoring their business."


 
2010/4/27 Pork Belly <porkbelly00(at)gmail.com>

Deep in his bunker under the troubled Bosphorous, the Pasha is awakened from a watery sleep by his third wife, bearing a silver serving tray with the foreign newspapers and pot of strong black coffee.


"Al-Lah!", he suddenly cries in anger, "The Italians declared another Spring holiday, and why was I not informed of this!", he snaps, spilling hot coffee over his journals.

"But Great One, the Austrian emperor is a drunk and the Russian peasants do nothing but demand the return of their caviar farms," purrs wife number two. "How are we to know of these things?"


"So I must rely on three day-old editions of Der Spiegel, while my armies march to and fro and my mighty fleets do nothing but make traffic jams in the Mediterranean?!", roars the Pasha.

"But Great One, all Asia is ours. Why must we needs worry about the uncultured barbarians to the west?" quivers wife number seven.


"Ah, my wise young kitten, this also too is true." reflects the Pasha. "Quickly, if the emperor has left us any, send two more cases of that awful Greek Ouzo to the French ambassador, with a minstrel to sing praises of their greatness."


"Also be sure to mention that the photographs of Marshal Grenouille in Berlin came out splendidly", he adds, holding up the front page of Der Spiegel.

"And Great One, what of the starving Russian peasants?", weeps wife number five.


"Send them a bottle of olives and tell them they'll just have to make do with salmon.", he mutters, with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Now, peel me another grape, and order the fleet to circle around the Greek islands once again."


"Of course, oh Great One!" seventeen voices chorus together.

Dc302 Spring 1905 adjudication - psychosis1973   (Apr 27, 2010, 8:45 am)
You probably all know this already anyway, but just in case you didn't:
Per my rules, draws don't have to include all survivors. Anyone not included in a draw and with more than one unit on the board (those in civil disorder excepted) would receive a survival result.
On a separate note, whilst public voting is perfectly acceptable, it's by no means compulsory, and a private message to your GM on votes is all I need.
Not that I'm suggesting any of you would be so underhand as to publically vote in a different way to your private vote...

I'm voting no as well, but I am doing so because I
believe it's too early to propose such a draw. I
believe we're in the beginning of the end not the end.

Guys,


isn't this a bit preposterous: a 3-Draw at this
stage in the game?
Actually I feel insulted by this EGP.
And why exclude Italy? Italy still stands a better
chance than Russia. Or was it because of the NMR?
Also funny that Turkey and Russia would want to share
in a Draw.


The more I think about this EGP I get the feeling
someone tries to humor us.

And we
have a three way draw proposal on the table...for a
France/Russia/Turkey draw.  Votes with Fall moves
please - a unanimous yes is needed, with lack of a vote
counting as a no, and Austria being in civil disorder
excluded from the vote.
