Status: offline 		Turn 14: Stunning developments on the political front: Allan (Germania) declares war on his ally Tom (Republic). Tom sues for peace with me claiming he is now tripled team. Technically Tom is now at war with three of us but I've only been absorbing his relentless attacks on me, not attacking him except with my artillery. Nevertheless, given the dire condition of my lone city in that theater of war I accepted his peace offer.

Elsewhere I consolidate my hold on the Confederate capital by driving back Confederate forces. The war against the
Eastern Empire is progressing well at this time. The Battle for Minsk is on! My Soviet ally has yet to join me in the fight but I think he might on his next turn.

Status: offline 		Turn 15: The battle for Minsk continues as my forces move in for the kill. I have an armored spearhead pointed like a dagger directly at Minsk. Elsewhere Russ and Tom are locked in a life and death struggle. Don't see how Tom can hold out if his former ally, Allan, is also attacking him. My research is accelerating...

Status: offline 		Sorry for the delay guys, i am travelling for work again this week and didnt get to play last night...  The sales guys were in town and took us out.

I will try and get to it sometime today.

I feel like I ruined the game a little declaring war on tom.  Accepting too many alliances early in the game isn't something that i will do again i think.

Status: offline 		I agree about the "accepting too many alliances early" comment. I've been in two games now where at least one player initiated (made offers) alliances with every other player. I don't think this is a good idea. One, you have given a potential future opponent a detailed map of your territory and the precise location of all your units. Not only that, you "ally" can move into your country next to your vital areas and then declare war on you. Not good! To me an alliance with another player should be considered very carefully. For me, once an alliance is made and accepted, I'm in it for the long haul. To me there is no fun to be had turning on an ally. That said, in this particular game, because basically everyone accepted an alliance with each player there was no recourse.

I've thought about using a house rule in future games that would disallow alliances for certain set number of turns (3-5 perhaps).

Sorry Tom but we are at war again. Took out about 1/3 of your artillery. You remove your army from my territory and I might consider peace again.

Status: offline 		There has been a coup in Tom's nation.  He has been killed or captured with a daring night raid and his nation has capitulated.  Greedy nations, including my own, are racing to gobble up his nation's remains.  Rogue elements within my nation have declared war on my old ally Roy!!  The insanity of it all!  The 'Young Turks" have been put down, but the smear remains...what will Roy do?  We grabbed one of his cities and have attacked other elements of his army.  The young fools!  Our nation is still allied to the mighty Germania and we hope the rogue elements within our army has not destroyed this alliance as well!
The Grieving nation of Arditi....

Status: offline 		@Russ, yes I see the part about one declared winner on rereading, however since Allan agreed with me in an email that the game is over, that makes you the one declared winner. If Allan has reconsidered I'll be happy to surrender and forward the game turn to him.

Status: offline 		Certainly Tom.  I will always play you.  I do want ONE WINNER and for all to understand that alliances can be broken without ill will.  The additional nervousness, puzzles to solve within game and messages exchanged to achieve success is a byproduct of this game and a reason it is the greatest game out there in my estimation.  I will start another multiplayer game seperate from this one for us to play.  I would like to continue this one if Allan chooses.  I have my girls softball practice and will start another when I get back.  Onwards!
Best, Arditi(Russ)

Status: offline 		Turn 19: I was going to surrender but the games says the Soviets have won. I go ahead and load the turn and the Surrender button is grayed out. If I mouse over it, it reports "SOMEBODY ALREADY WON THE GAME." When I hit the end turn button, it goes to the "save and quit" panel and I hear the victory music with applause. I guess this game is done after all but I'll go ahead and send the turn to Allan.
