19 Oct 15 UTC Spring, 1901: Info: This is a choose your country game.
19 Oct 15 UTC Autumn, 1903: well, I played that turn way too risky
20 Oct 15 UTC Spring, 1904: Thanks for the advance warning. I'll watch for your change in style. :-)
15 Nov 15 UTC I think we've established a stalemate.
15 Nov 15 UTC GameMaster: Italy voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
15 Nov 15 UTC I agree, I think I can break through to MAO, but I don't think I can lure you out of the Med (which is why I refused to set up the stalemate earlier).

Back in Spring 1909 is where I lost my chance, I actually had GAS to MAR sb BUR saved for most of the time leading up to the end of the phase, but didn't see a good way to hold Marseilles so I changed it to give me that option if I succeeded. What I should have noted was the likelihood of a retreat to MAO from SPA which might have set up some better opportunities, what with you having to retake Marseilles from Spain to guarantee the capture. I might have snuck into north africa or something.

Anyways, very well fought and good win! Enjoy the top slot.
15 Nov 15 UTC How soon before I can challenge you?
15 Nov 15 UTC The stalemate line can only be broken if I am lured out of MAO, and I doubt you will give me a reason to try that. This was a couple of very equally matched games. I enjoyed them immensely.

I agree, my retreat to MAO was huge in 1909. You might have won. The very next move, locked up the stalemate line on the east side of the map. That gave me no chance at a loss, only a chance of a win or draw.


The rules do not prevent you from challenging me immediately. I will leave that decision up to you.

However, good sportsmanship might suggest that you allow Bozo to challenge me first. In a similar manner, that's why I am not going to hold the stalemate line for 2 more weeks until December 1st.
15 Nov 15 UTC Actually, I just re-read the rules.

For games to count before the December 1st deadline, matches must be made and accepted.
15 Nov 15 UTC Good game.

Can bozo jump me to challenge you?
16 Nov 15 UTC Not anymore. He was challenged by Mapleleaf.
