Nope, not aggravated one bit that a power generally considered one of the weakest in the game has done well when played by everyone but me.
Here's exactly what I said to Grund:El Guapo wrote:The only thing that seemed shady about what ezmate did is that it appeared as if he had basically committed suicide to help another player, rather than making every effort to survive.El Guapo wrote:I take it Turkey decided to simply immolate himself in service of Austria? A bit shady, IMHO.
But what stessier says does change things - more of a negotiating tactic (useful in future games) than giving up on the game.
When Stessier backstabbed me, I was obviously annoyed, but looking at the map, I can definitely see why he did it. At that point, I was hell bent on taking him down.However, if at any time, you enter ARM or build a fleet in Sev, I will coordinate the intentional and orderly handover of my territories to Austria. Actually, that statement goes for any sabotage on your part. I know that sounds harsh, but I don't know how else I can keep from getting sandwiched.

Then it must've been bitter wine to seem me simply retreat from them rather than fight back.In the end, I lived up to it as viciously as possible - not only giving up my territories (ensuring that it was Stessier, not Grund, that took them), but also supporting the taking of Sev.
Not sure which move this was...I definitely didn't mean to let you down on anything (until, of course, you entered ARK).Grundbegriff wrote:You didn't keep your word when it came time to support me.ezmate wrote:The only person I could trust was Grund.

Nah...didn't bother me at all. It was definitely a matter of "it's the thought that counts".I believed your threat. I just had trouble bringing myself to care. I didn't give the game what it deserved, for which I apologize.

I know I was late. Who else are we awaiting? Well I probably did not help by ordering the North Sea to Picardy move that El Guapo keeps suggesting.Lordnine wrote:I decided to invade Switzerland, it might be holding up the update.

With support!

Just a busy couple of days.
I don't see why it couldn't be an attack. You can even support it if you have a unit adjacent to the space being moved into who is willing.stessier wrote:Can someone explain convoys again? Does the transported unit have to land in an empty space, or can it be used as an attack?
So for a stupid example: say there is an A in Bul. Could I transport an A to Bul and have it attack with any support I could muster? Or could it only be transported to Bul if Bul was unoccupied?
Thanks!
Now that is just plain misleading. I went back looking at the board trying to figure where he gained a SC. It should read Fleet blown to itty bitty pieces at the bottom of the North Atlantic. Rebuild available 1.Austin wrote:Italy:
