It seems like it has been a while since I had any actual force in the game but I'll try to remember how it progressed. I started off working with Germany which looked great until he made no builds in the first year. Then I switched to working with England because it seemed unavoidable to attack Germany. I tried to expand slowly and from a very early point tried to point out to everyone how large Mike was getting. This did not seem to do anything but get me attacked. At some point I decided i would do whatever i could to stop Mike from getting the solo. The players around me used the fact that I was attempting to hold Turkey back to attack me from behind and eventually I lost it all. I take slight offense from the new Germany that I gave him no help. The very first thing I did when he joined the game was offer him a complete truce and stop attacking him. Something which seemed valuable at a time when he was being attacked by every player around him.... How quickly they forget. I did not use my units in conjuntion with his much because I was desperately trying to hold back Turkey... But anyway my vague attempts at diplomacy, I couldn't seem to establish any long term relationships in the game were not enough to halt Mike. I enjoyed playing with everyone. Good game Mike, you ran away with it right from the start.
