Woo! Dogpile on Germany! Good times, good times.
In game one, Turkey…WTF?
Must suck to be Austria in game 1 – four failures out of five orders? Apparently Turkey upset quite the apple-cart there…
:shrug:
I was hoping to catch Austria sleeping. It doesn’t really matter anymore becuase Russia and Austria are allied against me. It reallly doesn’t matter any more becuase Austria is in prime position and I assume will turn on Russia this turn.
Well, it’s not quite that simple. Nothing is ever a forgone conclusion in this game.
However, a Hold in Smyrna? Just…um, ok.
Eek. Turkey holding Rum and Sev, with Bul unpreventably to come? Wow.
German A bur retreats to gas.

So what’s the holdup, sport? Still in shock over the stabbiness?
I suspect the guy’s got one of those fancy newfangled “lives” I’ve heard about.
No fair! I canceled all social engagements and quit my job to devote myself wholly to this game! I expect no less from the rest of you!
…and someone help me get my job back after I get knocked out of the tourney, too?

Oh, France. Surrounded by a hostile Italy and a friendly England, you listen to Germany’s sweet-talk while he’s being dismembered by England and Russia? It’s unfortunate but the Franco-German alliance a very short-lived one.
What the hell? A Russian-Austrian-Italian alliance against the poor little Ottoman Empire?
They crave your ottomans. They have many comfy chairs but no comfy footrests.
The Game 2 map still gives me a headache. So much unresolved conflict. So much stress.
What did you expect after you made a grab for my Brest!
:eek:
Did he make motorboat noises?
You can hear the thud of all the bounces.
Then again Game 1 looks like a tie-dye, so I’m not sure that’s easier to cope with.
