29 Oct 17 UTC Good game, all. I pressed draw when I realized that, short of an NMR, I couldn’t win. Congratulations to BobRoss and tantrumizer!
29 Oct 17 UTC I had to scurry around and make some good guesses to hold off Bulgaria. Luckily he was so big so fast that Italy had to hold off attacking me as I was not well placed in the south.
29 Oct 17 UTC Good game and well done Mr F.
29 Oct 17 UTC My mistake was that I didn’t realize that the Bosporus was adjacent to the Sea of Marmara until too late. Ah, well. It’s just a game. (And a good one it was, too.)
29 Oct 17 UTC Yeah I didn't notice that at first either!
29 Oct 17 UTC Gg guys!

It looked like it was going to be a Serbian-Italian power block against the Bulgarian-Ottoman power block until i stabbed and pressed Serbia. The only reason I did so is that by leaving Serbia in the game, a solo opportunity would not be around for me. Yet, i got myself the wrath of YCHTT who decided to throw everything to Serbia. This means I immediately had to find an agreement with Tantrumizer who either didn't read my peace proposal clearly or was just really dead set on getting Kalamata from me. In any case i was glad that Ottoman went 100% on his Serbian front as soon as he took Kalamata.
29 Oct 17 UTC And obviously glad we were able to stop Finkel from Solo'ing ;-)
29 Oct 17 UTC Damn it. I wanted Finkel to get his solo and teach Italy not to attack a guy on the front line. Had a more capable player being playing in Finkel's spot, this game would (and should) have ended differently.
29 Oct 17 UTC For what it's worth, the lesson was very clear to me YCHTT ;-)
29 Oct 17 UTC Good game!
I was in a rough position this game. Both the Ottomans and Italy quickly invaded, knocking me out pretty early.
29 Oct 17 UTC LOL. You're good, BobRoss and, unfortunately, Finkel wasn't up to reading my intent.
29 Oct 17 UTC I tried to be allies with you Mr. Fink, but then you just destroyed me. GG anyway.
29 Oct 17 UTC Not many tears for Serbia here. Yes Romana was abysmally played here, but you have little excuse for your bullheaded choices. Truth your who strategy here was to exploit the weakness of Austria's staring position with respect to Italy. I knew there was a risk hat Italy would take that approach, but what are you going to do when Serbia piles on? In this one even Romania thinks it's a good idea to go dot grabbing in Austria (while ignoring his on defenses).

In the end Bulgaria seems to have blinked. Both Cetijine and Agram were vulnerable, and probably worth exploring. And that's just with what was available on the front. Bulgaria had four armies in Pleven, Ruse, Sofia, and Plodiv doing nothing. Good work from Italy and Turkey to check his advance and call his bluff.
