24 Jan 19 UTC	incredible, England ... I knew you were strong, but here I was thinking I had a shot!
24 Jan 19 UTC	Congrats England! Austria why didnt u help me to defeat Turkey? I gave u some SM to Con but i couldnt defeat Turkey without your help. That was the reason (and that u were too strong) why i attacked you. I knew u were strong but u only got one fleet. So u couldnt attack me. GG
24 Jan 19 UTC	Wow, I can't believe England was down to 3 centers at one point and was able to pull off a great comeback. You got super lucky France didn't take Liverpool in spring 1904. That would have definitely been a game changer.
24 Jan 19 UTC	GG everyone! This was one rollercoaster. I agree it was one saving moment when France turned, another when I guessed right in the tussle over Scandinavia and Austria and France came attacking. One question I have though - now I have played five-six games of Fog, and in all of them a western power has won. Is that something you guys also see or is it just luck of the draw? Is it somehow easier to cross the stalemate line or use the fog to conceal your movements in the West vs the east?

24 Jan 19 UTC	Well played, all, and in particular, congratulations to England. I felt like a lost puppy for most that game.
24 Jan 19 UTC	My only Fog win was with Russia. I think perhaps it's more likely that a western power will win, if only because they only have two main enemies to go after. The eastern bloc all have three to contend with. (Assuming, of course, that Italy and France don't attack each other or Austria or Russia don't cross the DMZ line either.)
24 Jan 19 UTC	I have done well with Italy before, actually. and to Italy in this game - I would have to look back through the maps and orders to see my thinking on Turkey, but knowing me it could have been sheer stupidity!
24 Jan 19 UTC	The "multiple front" challenge of playing Russia beat me down in this game. I made great gains in 1901 and felt like I was going to race forward, but it soon went upside down for me when Turkey & Italy didn't present any challenge to Austria, my glorious march was interrupted much like the Faber College parade in Animal House.
24 Jan 19 UTC	I've won a few times as Turkey and Austria. Turkey is fairly strong in fog of war if Austria and Italy are fighting.
