Game 3 kicks off, figured I'd do a bit of an AAR to date;
Game 1;
First year was pretty much a text book opening, not many of us knew what we were doing, I am assuming that 6 out of 7 of us were utter noobs, and PG (Rus) and I (Fra) were the only noobs that probably read the rules and strategies and such. I managed to get away to an early lead with both Germany and England being that little bit more noob than me (and then I proceed to fuck up my build orders

). Taymees (Ger) makes the error of moving 2 troops to the same place at the same time now - his signature move in all other games.
Second year Spring saw Romale (Eng) and me break our truce, and both blame the other one - Italy (Raivi) and Austria (Malcore) stalemate, England attacks Germany, Russia and Turkey (Zeleznick) bounce off each other, but appear to work out a truce/alliance/naptrain.
Second year Autumn saw me completely fuck England
for great justice breaking our new pact and racing for position. PG stabs Malcore in the face and takes budapest.
Year 3 sees me continue pushing on England, as well as moving for position on Germany, which looks like it is going to die - Taymees attacks PG instead of supporting him (accidentally...) - Austria dies a little bit more.
Year 3 Autumn (current); Romale goes afk and misses his turn, I take Liverpool. Austria pretty much completely dies, Russia moves for Germany, Turkey cleans up the south and steals Tunis.
PG has the advantage, but Turkey has some good strength now - GGz
Currently waiting on Romale and malcore~~~
Game 2;
Standard opening moves from the whole board, except for Centra (Eng) who has taken a pacifist view on the war. Turkey (Raivi) brings an opening concern for PG (Rus, again...). Malcore (Ita) instafucks taymees (Aus).
Autumn; Turkey fucks Russia, Germany fucks Russia, England finally wakes up.
Year 2; taymees does the old 2 units in the same place routine and fails in taking back Trieste, France (Zeleznick) pushes south quite agressively, Turkey expands like a boss.
Autumn (current); Italy continues receiving penis from France, Austria is therefore saved, Turkey unleashes the strap-on onto Russia, while I work the other end. Russia has been gimped, PG is (rightfully) p pissed that most people signed up to this game to fuck him up - the fact that he played Russia last time and ended up so redonkulously strong doesn't really help either...
E: who is winning; at this stage, it could be France - he started way strong and is capitalising by rushing Italy
Also, waiting on malcore~
Game 3 is yet to kick off, I am England, taymees is Russia, Raivi is LОLstria, PG is Turkеy‚ LeHonk iѕ Italy (and today's noob), Zеleznick is France‚ Centra iѕ Gеrmany. Let the games begin!
