| DC177 Spring 1906 Results - MattTheLesser (Jul 30, 2008, 6:58 pm) |
Germany and France continue to head south while Italian forces scramble
back toward the boot but can't stop the French from entering Naples;
Turkish troops continue to push north and west.
There are no retreats, so we move directly to Fall 1906, which will be
due this coming Monday, August 4, at 9 pm eastern.

Italy, having already used his grace, NMRs, and as a result loses Bud
and Tun to invading forces. In other news we have our first
eliminations, as England and Austria bow out of the game. Thanks to Joe
and Mike for their participation. And lastly I'd like everyone to take
an extra second to appreciate the battle of wits that went on over Edi
this turn, in which France gained the upper hand.
There were only two retreats: Italy had only one option, Bud - Tri, so
that has been done automatically, and Austria is eliminated so his unit
has been cleared from the board.
Thus we move directly to Winter 1904, which is due this coming Monday,
June 30, at 9 pm eastern. Adjustments due are listed below the
adjudication.

éôáò-ôáóó Press Release
Anonymous sources with close ties to Russian government officials say that secret agents had successfully isolated Turkish and Italian leaders from any communication with the outside at their Winter convention they so provocatively had organized on former Russian soil, at an undisclosed location at the Krim. Governments of Italy and Turkey have not replied to our requests for a reaction. The Russian representative said: "We do not confirm nor deny these allegations.".

| DC177 Game End! - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
France EOG
well - this game did end early to my disappointment as I was relatively certain that I had the upper hand to reach a solo or a 2-way draw (w Germany)... alas not meant to be. Below is my take on how this game unfolded.
In 1901, as I diplomed with all players, I did not find too many problematic leaders. All the players were very cordial and seemed competent. The only shortcoming was from Austria, who did not communicate as much as the others. But one player changed everything... Within the first 2 days, I got 'the offer'.
Germany (alfred) pointed me towards a G/F opening alliance called 'the SeaLion' and sent me a few links to articles on the subject. I read them and pretty quickly decided it was worth a try since I had never attempted this move before. So before any real diplomacy took place, within the span of 3-4 days, Alfred and I hit it off and decided win or lose, come hell or high-water we were going to stick to the 'sealion' plan and make a lasting F/G alliance happen. We struck it off well immediately and we liked each other. our emails became gushy affairs, effusive in praise, and direct with intent. we agreed that this game was meant for us to test this strategy, and we would go for a 2-way draw or solo but only with the consent of the other. It is not often you find an ally like that so early in a game - but we did - and the result is obvious.
with Italy, I had a great set of communications as well - it seemed we both liked subterfuge, so we decided we will make a whole show of us getting into a fight, only for him to turn on austria in 1902. so we bounced in pie in S01, then he supported himself to pie from tus in F01 and had everyone (including G) thinking that we were at war... but he built an army in Ven and in S02 moved to Tyl from Pie and took Triest. From here forward we kept our DMZs until he NMRed in 04 or 05 and we were a good source of intel for the other.
England was very cordial and nice - my move to the English channel surprised him, but in the diplomacy of F01, I convinced him I would not attack him, and he gave me that trust. this was by far my worst 'lie' in the game bc this is where I supported German F Den to Nth to initiate the SeaLion. England tried mightily by diplomacy and fought tooth and nail to his bitter demise - he earned my respect early and often during this game. Had I not committed to trying out the SeaLion with Germany, I would have turned. he was the victim of an arranged attack, and with Italy and Russia on our side, he had nowhere to turn at all.
In 01, Russia clearly had taken the lead with 3 builds... this of course gave him the early leader syndrome, and though he helped both italy and turkey gain austrian centers in S02, they both stabbed him in the Fall which precipitated his fall. in 02 and 03, England kept putting up an impressive fight and even unexpectedly destroyed one of my fleets. but without any help, it was only a matter of time before Germany and I outgunned him.
During this early game - I feel I played almost perfectly for my intended strategy and I got lucky on a few fronts. 1) Alfred and I kept a low profile to our alliance and did not advertise or make clear that we had long-term plans. this allowed me to keep Italy, Russia, and Turkey all thinking I would turn on Germany 2) Italy's attitude was perfect for France and the SeaLion, he stayed out of my hair and actually helped I think, in that it left other players thinking France would be pressured by Italy - by the time he turned on Austria and then Russia, no one was in a position to help out England or even think about it. 3) Austria's retreat to Aeg then Smy kept Turkey from becoming too powerful too fast 4) the continuous fighting in the east, gave F and G plenty of time to finish off E and turn our attention towards the South and North respectively.
But all was not perfect - for one, Austria's inexplicable NMR during the retreat phase and England's tenacious tactical moves made it tough to switch gears and move south as quickly as I would have liked.
none-the-less, by 1904, england was finished, germany moved against russia in the north, and I moved fleets quickly into the med. Italy NMRd on a build phase, giving me undue advantage - but in the end, i had 4 fleets to his 1 and by the time he was replaced, Turkey joined me in attacking Italy thinking that I would be willing to turn on Germany.
By 1906, I was well positioned to hold the Ionian, take all of Italy and was ready to take the Adreatic and open the gates to the Balkans... I have no doubt that if Alfred was still around, he and I would have swept into the Balkans and stayed true to our alliance for a 2-way or, depending on the situation, maybe even a solo.
so the game ended early - but it was a lot of fun playing with you all - specially in my first game on DC. I am glad we stuck to the SeaLion and that I got a chance to test it out... my final judgement is that it can be an effective attack, but it needs a compliant Italy and Russia to truly work. Even then, England is a tough nut to crack. it is truly MOST effective if Russia moves Mos-StP and bounces England in Nwy. if THAT is ordered, it would decimate England bc without a build in W01, England can not dislodge the German fleet in Nth and will end up losing home SCs very quickly. But most important of all, G and F must have full trust which will be hard to come by.
Thanks to all the great players - and thank you Matt for GMing the game. The NMRs were too many in this game... i would recommend requiring PreLims, not allowing NMRs (one grace is good), and asking the replacement to submit orders w/o diplomacy for that turn... besides that, Matt, you ran a great game. Thank you.

Having received assents from all parties (except Alf of course) and approval from the admins of this rather unorthodox end-game proposal, DC177 hereby ends in a three-way draw between France, Germany, and Turkey, with survivals recorded for Italy and Russia.

The previously published Winter 1906 adjudication will be recorded as the final adjudication. End-of-game statements (EOGs) are welcomed and encouraged from all players.

Just wanted to say -
It was a pleasure playing with Joe (England) though We never got to consumate a friendship in this game, I absolutely appreciated his tenacity - his unwillingness to give up - and his continued efforts to turn me against Germany. He was also a superb tactician, that even to his last breath managed to make the utmost of his limited maneuverability. Joe, I do hope we meet again on the game board.
regards.

Ah, yes, the Russians have returned.
Trust me Tzar, what I do, I do for the Russian people. I have thought long and hard about what you said concerning the "rougue" fleet commander in SEV that first year. And while I believe you it was someone acting against your orders, I began to think, what kind of leader is it that a officer would disobey a direct order? Surely not a single military commander under my control wouldn't DARE go against my orders. Clearly the Russian people deserve a more forceful leader. One who doesn't shirk his command, and go on vacation while at war! Sedar Turkmenbashi is currently on vacation in Florida... er ... that's in south Turkey, but I am still fully in control of my military machine. As you can well see.
To my fellow leaders of Europe. The Russian leader seeks to destroy Europe and attack his neighbors. If we do not strike back, those of you on the other side of the continent will soon be in danger if he is not stopped. To Arms, To Arms!
Serdar Turkmenbashi
(aka- Joe)
----- Original Message ----
Yes, the Tzar has returned.
Only to find that his trust has been betrayed by some of his former
allies who have taken the opportunity of his absence to plot against
Russia. Worse, these deceitful Powers did not keep their promises,
made as men of honour, but instead launched attacks against the
Russian Liberator.
Let this be a warning for everyone who dares to entrust Powers like
these with their plans and think they might honour their agreements.
Shame on you, Serdar Turkmenbashi of Turkey, who I regarded as my
brother, to break our agreement not just once but twice.
Shame on you, Kevin of Italy, who I helped to get a share of former
Austria-Hungary, only to be backstabbed in return.

I have all the retreats in that I requested but a point was made to me
by one of the admins that the DC House Rules, which apply to this game
because I have yet to post an official set of my own on the site, say
that units dislodged when a player NMRs are not auto-disbanded, so
Austria has the opportunity to retreat his F Smy to Syr, Eme, or OTB.
So I'm extending the deadline for him by 24 hours and this retreat is
due tomorrow (Saturday) at 9 pm eastern. Consequently the fall deadline
will also be moved back 24 hours, to Wednesday at 9 eastern.

| DC177 deadline extension - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Luckily for some of you, I forgot the deadline was today (evidenced by
the lack of reminder email) and do not have time to adjudicate tonight,
so the deadline is extended to 9 eastern tomorrow.
Have orders from: France, Turkey
Need orders from: Russia, Germany, Italy

| DC177 Game End! - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Having received assents from all parties (except Alf of course) and
approval from the admins of this rather unorthodox end-game proposal,
DC177 hereby ends in a three-way draw between France, Germany, and
Turkey, with survivals recorded for Italy and Russia. Thanks to all for
a good game (despite its bumps) and to those of you still here for
sticking through to the end. The previously published Winter 1906
adjudication will be recorded as the final adjudication. End-of-game
statements (EOGs) are welcomed and encouraged from all players. Hope to
see you all in future games, and thanks again.

Agreed.

IF Alfred is to be replaced in this game, the dynamics will shift once more
in a manner that will be difficult to justify in my mind. He has played a
tremendous game and has been one of the most interesting and respectable
players I have crossed swords with on a dip board.
I know that a few weeks ago, he had a loss in his family that kept him away
from the keyboard and reduced his diplomatic messages down to one or two a
season at best (from an early -game average of 4-5). I personally feel
that giving him the NMR now and attempting to finish the game without him
would be a disservice to him and, in an unintentional way, disrespectful to
his loss.
I would like to propose a 3-way draw between Turkey, Germany (Alfred), and
France with survival for Italy and Russia.
I personally feel that even with a new Germany, the most likely outcome at
this point is a 3-way draw anyways (though I still think I have a 40/60
chance at the solo.)
with that in mind - I propose the 3way draw and ask you all to vote 'aye' so
we can wrap this game up and move on to the next.
respectfully submitted,

I also agree. He's in a strong position right now, and the way it was looking, a 3way tie was more than likely anyway. I am in complete agreeance.

Babak,
really appreciate what you're doing for Alf.
Considering the circumstances, and knowing Alf from several games, his
NMRs can be explained and I fully agree with your comments and
