Panzeh -> 9-player Diplomacy France (12/14/2007 3:21:08 AM)
|
Well, France is in a very untenable position to begin with. Surrounded by hungry enemies, I'm pretty much limited in my course of action. If I do survive into the later game, however, I am in a good position to win the game.
I began the game with England offering me an alliance to help out. I can't refuse an offer from England, and so far he has helped me a lot. Spain is not really in a very good position to attack me, but if he were to commit to that course of action he would certainly have to do so away from his centers of supply and wouldn't hit a production center until Paris of Marsielles.
A much more imminent threat, I think, is Italy and Germany, both well within striking range of my cities. I didn't hear anything from them, so I pretty much assumed that they were going to attack me. My strategy in that fight is to separate them and try to tackle them one at a time. If I can knock one out of the war I can fight the other on much better terms.
I chose an Italy-first strategy because his production is closer to mine and I am in better position to use naval assets to assist. The goal will be to conquer 1 or 2 producing Italian cities and get a peace with them in order to focus on getting southern Germany.
