It’s all part of his Master Plan[sup]TM[/sup]. We are all doomed.

My empire extends as west as Paris, as east as Moscow, as north as Norway, and as south as Budapest 🙂

Spring 1909 orders are in. This time it’s Austria going AWOL.

Just a note to say that the perpetually frozen retreat has defrosted - time to build (or destroy in my case)…

Yes, I’ve surrendered. France (garygnu) has this wrapped up. This one should have been a draw, but I guess Germany felt like losing.

Didn’t Germany get taken over by someone else?  
In any case, I’d have eventually broken through in St. Petersburg.

Game Over.  
I’d never won solo before.  
Yay me!

Well done \*\*Garygnu \*\*- although were it not for the fact that your excellent stab coincided with the resurection of Turkey, I dare say I could have made a better run of it 😉

You make a superb ally and a better foe…

I am, but not on that terrible website. I can host it on the Diplomatic Pouch Judge, if you want. It’s great, and it has much better functionality (the most useful of which being that it automatically processes the turn when all orders are in and no waits are set). I think we should start a new thread, though. I was just about to go to bed when saw this thread (I’ve been following the game.), so I’ll start the new thread tomorrow.
