I on the other hand would love to go up against you sometime, alas, important exams are coming up, and if there is anything that can focus my mind like a laser on only one thing, it's diplomacy. I would never be able to learn even a single chapter. But hey, in march perhaps

I'm pretty sure Juggernaut plays aren't supposed to involve Russia asking Turkey to invade Sevastopol.

I'm not sure what to call the current state of Turkish diplomacy besides "a nightmare" or possibly just "arrrghhhh".

Doesn't that apply to everyone? Either there's a mastermind controlling all the events on the board or everyone here's incompetent.

...

Definitely incompetence.

Actually, some of the best ones do, as part of a plan to force-disband the southern fleet.  Lets Russia build an army, and secures Turkey against a stab.  Turkey isn't supposed to actually succeed, though; the disband happens in Armenia.  It's also kinda hard to tell the difference between it and a genuine attack on Russia. ^_^

Nah, at least two players look like they're doing quite well right off the bat, though I'll admit that one of the two made a couple odd moves.  If they're working together, then all the better.

As the most incompetent one here, I think I can safely say that there isn't a mastermind, or at least, they're so good at it that they haven't contacted me directly.
Which would explain a lot, actually.

Although I fully appreciate what Akroma said about not commenting on live games now, it's been quite interesting to compare the commentary to the truth as I know it.

Feels kind of ironic that the GM warned about player inactivity...

Sorry about that...my computer was pressed into service for my kid brother to do his assignment after he broke the family laptop. We're waiting on France and Austria. France has said he needs a replacement, so anyone who wants to join in is welcome to send in orders.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

F (Holland) supports [A (Belgium) holds]

France (Persus13)

Map of orders:




We'll just wait for Russia to tell me where he wants his F (Sweden) to retreat to, and we'll have a positions map for Winter 1902-1903.
