Hello Everyone,

 

Thank you Michael Boutot for GMing this one.

 

Congratulations to Garry and Bil on their dual monarchy.

 

My memory is fuzzy here, so I'll try providing an EOG in some form.

1). I decided to try an alternative playing style that I typically don't imploy.

2). I made a map reading error that had cost me. I'd wager that this didn't help spark confidence in my ability to run China successfully.

3). I dually over-estimated my relationship with Russia, and I miscalculated France's response to a Chinese invasion of Britain.

 

I had tried getting myself into a position where I could follow a more dominant ally for my opening game strategy; however, Britain's successful consolidation in the south and gained my hostility. I thought that I had successfully managed to get Russia onboard. a shift in my opening strategy perhaps too soon. France had seemed non-commital, but I felt that if I got Britain to open himself up to France would follow suit.

1). Russia allowed me to impale myself, and he struck my mostly exposed border.

2). France sided with Britain even though I had offered him Ben and Ubur.

 

At this point, I believed that the map was facing a Anglo-Franco-Russo box out and isolate alliance, but it was too late. Japan, Holland, Turkey, and China were too far apart and too far apart to coordinate effectively.

 

I had attempted to attain a survival by ceding Oms to Russia in exchange for Mon, but France had other plans. Unfortunately, I beat Nick to the position of being the first country eliminated.

 

Sorry for the short EOG, I kept forgetting to log my thoughts as the game progressed.

 

Good game everyone and thank you again Michael as well as congradulations to Garry and Bill for their 2-way draw.
