EOG from FA

Thanks Melle for a good concept. This was interesting early on atleast.

My initial plan, was not unique. I looked at the pairings and saw who I could afford to attack and who I would most easily ally with. As FA, I was lucky. Both of my contries borderd GI and neither of my partners commanded these nations. Furthermore, I had indirect influence with the rest of Europe through my partners. I was set. I had two enemies, and three relatively safe borders. I had two partners who would advocate for me with their own partners as I would for them. This allowed for the easiest taking of Munich that I have ever had with France.

However, I ended up going away for a month, followed by a hard month at home after that. This game took the back burner and I had trouble keeping my interest. This led to apathy on my part. Apparently, I was not alone as things started to deteriorate in the game with NMRs and the like. My interest picked up in the end, but then I went away again and weill the rest is history.

Thanks to all for a unique experiance. There are still bugs to work out. I would be interested in another game, but my game load of playing 2 and GMing 2 is saturating quickly. I need to consider carefully if I can thake on a new project such as this. If things change than I'll let you know, Melle.
Please keep me on as an observer atleast.

Thanks a bunch and talk to you later
