Country:


21 May 22 UTC Spring, 1501: Info: This is a choose your country game.
07 Jun 22 UTC Autumn, 1508: GameMaster: Ottawa 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.
21 Jun 22 UTC GG - What a kick in the nutz that the eastern tribes chose to prop up Erie.
21 Jun 22 UTC Well played! I'm glad we were able to build up a stalemate line so well.
21 Jun 22 UTC On this map, the powers in the middle stand no chance at all.
21 Jun 22 UTC Yeah, it's very unbalanced sadly.
21 Jun 22 UTC GG guys... so glad Ojibe and Iroquois realized they needed to support me to hold... otherwise Kaskasia would had won...
22 Jun 22 UTC I needed 27. They could’ve taken Erie out easily… I tried to send a message but it didn’t look like it was being met with any enthusiasm
22 Jun 22 UTC What kind of message you sent ;-) That you would take my SCs and win the game SOLO... hehehe
22 Jun 22 UTC Not sure what message you sent by having your troops hold. Had you really wanted Erie out of the game, you could easily have thrown some support moves for me or Mississauga to take his centers. We definitely weren't going to give them to you :)
22 Jun 22 UTC I was holding Kas back pretty well until Erie decided to assist him by attacking me from behind. I didn't have a chance then.
22 Jun 22 UTC Read back through the orders to Spring 1515. Was thinking to offer same for this Spring, but lack of any action by either Mississauga or you in Fall 1515, made it feel like a waste of time.
22 Jun 22 UTC Ah I see now, I hate how some maps just don't show failed support moves from another player instead of just showing it with an x through it.
22 Jun 22 UTC Well, even if there was some support order, I would still need some kind of retreat from the border to do it, since after the support, you could then attack our less defended borders
22 Jun 22 UTC I felt that Mississauga was eminently defensible no matter what I did. You could have had Essex in a layup moving your fleet there, and have no lapse in your northern guard.
23 Jun 22 UTC Well that would lead to the loss of defensive capabilities for Imlay which would fall soon. Then you would be in a position where you will eventually take Sarnia or Toledo, endangering Essex. Rather than going through all the trouble, I thought a draw including him was the best choice as long as you don't give me possibility to attack him by retreating from the borders, giving me enough time to establish defenses after I take him down
23 Jun 22 UTC Imlay, Toledo, & Essex, bring me to 25 and more stalemate lines.
23 Jun 22 UTC I wasn't sure about the war between Ottawa and Iraqois. Actually, I thought that you held off from drawing just to see if others will get impatient with the game and attack others. Or someone could suddenly leave the game. And I was unsure of that.I didN't want to increase the amount of unknowns by letting you have more SCs. I wanted to leave room for errors by others.

It's like, it's not like you would stop being in the draw by retreating, so I expected that from you to show us that there is no harm intended to us. And as long as some threat remained there, I had no intention of increasing the amount of unknowns, as I lose less by letting 1 more person to draw, compared to losing everything
23 Jun 22 UTC I think the map would be better if it took more than 3 units to lock down northern and southern passages. It was easy for me to keep Erie out of Wisconsin because he'd never have a fleet there. So literally one army was enough. Actually wanted him to have better success eastward as he was my natural "juggernaut" partner. Had no problem with him having the Lower Peninsula.
