Question about retreating
Can someone retreat somewhere that was previously occupied before? Say I was in Spain and my enemy was in portugal, Marseilles and Gascony

They move Gascony into Spain with support from Marseilles, but they move Portugal into a nearby sea, would Spain be able to retreat to Portugal?

Never give up!
The above is my new motto :D
On my userpage you can see a list of games in the comment which show games in which this has helped me get a survive or draw when everything seemed to be hopeless.

Has anyone else got games when there was an amazing survive/draw or even win by using this motto? I remember that the ultimate one is over on Webdip when the Czech got a solo after being knocked down to one SC, but I haven't got the link for that.
So go on and post your game links here, with a description of what happened and how not giving up managed to make you survive/draw/win. Hopefully, some people might see this thread and decide that they don't need to CD or give up when the going gets tough!

England, with France moving in and out of the Channel constantly, Russia taking me on, and Germany loving to builds fleets. See what happens
Captainmeme (1400 D Mod (B))
11 Oct 12 UTC
Wow... France was very indesicive in that...
If you look at that map in 1903, you think that there's no way England will survive that... And yet you still managed to win - that's pretty amazing. How did you convince Italy to completely demilitarize France in the endgame?

Ah, I found the Czech's amazing win on Webdip:

It was due to the type of player England was. He was a trusting game-long alliance sort of guy. Which I took advantage of

Wait... You mean Italy? You were England - it's hard to take advantage of yourself... :D

Oh, and here's my selection of amazing draws and survives (copied and pasted from my profile):

http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=7006
Portugal - Never had more than two territories in the entire game, and still finished in the final draw.

http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=9450
Ithsomn - Recovered from losing a home centre and being completely outflanked in the first year to being the third largest power in the final draw.

http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=6064
Oceania - I can't take all the credit for this one - Guaroz (userID=378) sat quite a bit of it for me - but it's still a shining example. Never went above 7 SCs, and was down to just 2 SCs for much of the game, but still came out with a survive.

Why did they draw? That game was turning out to be quite interesting...

I will claim this one for Wolfman.

Wolfman never gave up. He had only 4 units, and we were outnumbered 15 to 25, and had enemy units surrounding us. The win conditions were to 21, so they had 4 units to spare. Yet we still forced a draw. Considering, it was us against everyone else for the entire game, it was a nice outcome.

That's a great one - I'll await his comments on it with interest. It looks like you wouldn't have been able to hold the stalemate line to the extent that you did without him - he definately deserved a place in that draw.
Devonian (1887 D)
11 Oct 12 UTC
By the way, the draw was a forced draw. They could not break our stalemate line. Their only option was to fight each other, or agree to a draw.

A game I was in over on Webdiplomacy - nnfolz as Russia managed to recover from losing Sweden, Moscow, and StP to England in 1903 to 2-way drawing at the end - he had the oppurtunity to win if he had wanted to at several points as well.
Captainmeme (1400 D Mod (B))

@Devo Yes, I can see that. It must be annoying having to draw in that variant - Spain will always be in the draw, no matter what happens...
Devonian (1887 D)
11 Oct 12 UTC
Captain, It is annoying that Spain had to be included, but it adds a twist to the variant that is interesting. Everyone else can be eliminated, but Spain can always come back to haunt you. Unlike any other variant, Spain has to be dealt with the entire game.
