Well this game certainly had it's ups and downs - a lot of downs in this one.
In the end, I told England to just go ahead and take the win. We were all worn out and I need a break! Too bad I'm playing another game at the moment otherwise I'd go get a real life for a while!
The final roster:
Italy: pani
Turkey: BigBeuty
Austria: Nobody44
England: riskybiscuits / Bataan (WINNER)
Russia: ViscountSlim / tdrury88
France: thegaff21
Germany: Victor+Khan
Final thoughts
France: Very disappointed in you. Made poor moves and too many NMRs - you were gobbled up quickly.
Austria: Sorry I messed you around at the beginning. Now that you've had a chance to read my blog, I hope you can understand my early predicament. If things had turned out differently and I hadn't let you get gobbled up accidentally, the game would've been extremely different.
Germany: You did well at the beginning but I rallied the troops around and was able to take you out without too many problems. That was the main reason I overextended myself and had to relinquish most of my control to England.
Russia: I had no qualms with you until you were rude at the end. I'm sorry for expressing my lack of interest halfway through the game but consider that after I bashed heads with Turkey for 10 years. If you remember, I predicted a win for England at the time - it was really the only outcome. You played reasonably well but probably should've mixed it up instead of going for the hopeless Juggernaut.
Turkey: You were trapped all game. You helped Russia take Austria out and came away from that fight with very little to show for it. You were behind his walls so the sea was your only option. That left you extremely limited in what you could do. Yes you broke through once or twice but I pushed you back out. You have got to see that the Juggernaut just wasn't going to work for you in that position and you should've striked at Russia when you had the chance. That's why we bashed heads for 10 years. If I'd given up and let go of my line, you and Russia would've bulldozed me and England. You were the reason I had to relinquish most of my supply centers to England, so I could keep you out of Italy.
England: Congratulations! As described above, Turkey forced me to give up most of my northern territory - all the places I'd taken from Germany and in order to get your help, I had to let you in my place. I'm sure you weren't going to say no to free supply centers! You might've taken first place, but I'm taking unofficial second place! :) I suppose some might view my mid/late game as playing kingmaker, but I was sort of forced into it because I had to protect the line and my home bases. If Turkey had gotten through, he'd be coming for you next!
Oh and I finally got a pm back from Russia - he seemed most upset with the fact I had expressed my displeasure at the turn of events halfway through the game (when I'd said I was bored and I saw the England win outcome). I'm going to try to keep it civil - I'm just disappointed that it degraded to the state it got to.
