nope, just that we were 3 hours and a quarter from when the turn would process. Speaking of....

Okay nothing too unexpected.
Looks like an EGI dogpile against France, but averted at least in part due to France supporting himself to Burgundy.
More thoughts later

Quick note to France
Quote:Well I bet that's not what you wanted to see!!
Good thing that you supported yourself to Burgundy - that should at least guarantee you 1 (if not 2) builds.
Over here nothing too out of the ordinary
Let me know if/how I can help
We definitely don't want to see France go down hard, and we don't want an E/G either (since they'll be heading our way next)

Quote:Aha! An attack on France! Looks like you guys coordinated pretty well (which is hard to do this early), but Nakor must have sniffed something otu as he supported himself to Burgundy.
So do you plan to continue on? I've found that some of the best moves can be done in situations like this, where you change directions quickly. The attack on France was a good one, but it did not succeed. France is in Burgundy and is guaranteed at least one build (and will likely get 2).
What about something like Pie-Tyl, Rom-Ven? Depending on whether Austria hedgehogs again, that could set you up for an attack on Germany or Austria. You build F Nap or A Ven depending on how things go.
Dunno just a thought - obviously you don't have to share all your plans with me but since we're not really neighbors or threats I'm here if you want to bounce ideas off of me

Quote:Hi Amelia,
Well that seemed to go pretty well. Bounces expected and you've got a real shot at Greece (and 2 builds) this fall. Or maybe Serbia, if you think Austria will try to bounce you with Ser-Gre.
With France going down hard to an EGI, I think it's probably a good idea to try and set sail Ank-Con? I can move F Sev-Rum, probably wiht support from A Ukr, though I may support myself to Galicia as well.
Anything else interesting going on?

And one to Germany
Quote:Hi Uberfish and David,
Looks like you guys managed to coordinate EGI all moving on France, which is tough to do this early on! Too bad France must have figured something out at least, as he supported himself to Burgundy. Though I guess if he really thought the full EGI was on, I'd have probably moved just Par-Bur to bounce so he could cover Brest. Or maybe Mar-Bur, Par-Gas. Now he probably has to cover Brest with his fleet which means he won't get Portugal this year.
In any case, I hope you'll let me into Sweden this fall - if there is anything you'd like me to do or say to help my case, just say the word!

Quote:Hi Lewwyn,
Sounds like you got the hedgehog down perfectly, and should be guaranteed a build. On the downside it looks like Turkey is going to potentially get 2 builds, which I guess isn't the end of the world.
In other news, sounds like EGI tried to all go after France but it looks like he must have figured something was up as he supported himself to Burgundy. That is probably worth looking at - it's probably not in either of our best interests for France to go down very quickly...
So are we bouncing in Galicia again or do you have better things to do with your army?

Quote:Hey Scooter,
So.... interesting times over in the west! Looks like you guys managed to pull off some EGI cooperation, and getting 3 powers on board is quite the feat in the early game! Do you think Nakor got a tipoff or did he just suspect something? Or maybe he's just paranoid.
Regardless, it looks like he's guaranteed 1 build and it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that he'll get 2. Given any thought to switching up sides? Seems like now might be a good time to try that - Convoy Wales to Belgium (maybe even with French support?) and take Norway and you've got your 2 builds, which is a very good showing for England in 1901. Plus another army on the continent allows you to force the Ruhr in 1902 and after that Germany goes down pretty quickly.
I guess in the end it doesn't matter a whole lot to me whether you work with France or Germany - I haven't had much dealings with either of them so you probably know the situation a lot better than me - so it's definitely up to you. I guess all things being equal, as Russia, I'd prefer to not see the E/G alliance since an EG alliance usually starts heading after Sweden and St. Petersburg sooner rather than later....
Anyway over here, 2 bounces out of 4 units and I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 bounces again in the fall. What's the fun of having all these units when they don't go anywhere ;-)

So, besides trying to blatantly manipulate the E/F/G mess, how can we try to ensure the right outcomes on that half of the world (namely, STALEMATE!!!)

That's basically it. Ideally I think we want EF or FG. Probably EF would be my preference just because I've gotten a better "vibe" from Scooter than from uberfish.
I've got a bunch of replies to post from other powers
