Autumn, 1863: Having played this variant several dozen times, I can honestly say that our matches are wildly different than any I have seen before!

Autumn, 1863: This one seems to be playing out at least somewhat in line with my previous experiences, but the other one is definitely quite weird.

GameMaster: Confederacy voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes Concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Conceede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat.

GG - messed up that last move, but I think you had me for the last few phases.

gg. I was honestly thinking I was in trouble near the end there - you were catching me in units, you always had centres to build on while I was struggling to clear them out, and your land positioning was pretty much flat better than mine.
I suppose it points to one of the reasons I really like this map - you're in so close to each other, right from the start, that if a game is mostly balanced you always think the other player has the edge.

Ya, it was getting close for sure. Then this spring, I mis-clicked and didn't take kingston. Then I botched minnesota this autumn. I suppose I could have tried to stay in and fight, but would have been an unlikely win against a formidable opponent!
GG - happy to play 1v1 whenever you like, outside of the tournament. Just PM.

Ah yeah, misclicks are always annoying. Trying to cut down on my number of games at the moment, other than the tourney ones - signed up for a few too many, then got a proper job so I've a lot less time on my hands. Definitely adding you to the list of "people fun to 1v1" for when I've more time spare, though :D
