So does this mean that either Austria or UK is going to win? They have the most pips on the board.

Well, it's either one of them or Germany. But Germany has the big disadvantage of being in the middle, so as soon as the look likely to win, they'll have to fight a two front war. Very appropriate for Germany though. :D

Currently Austria has the most momentum, but I can't quite see them getting 18 SC, unless the German-British alliance breaks.

I don't know about that. Austria's fought the supposed "Grand Alliance" for 3 years now, and the only Supply Center that has been lost since then was to the Turks. Not to mention I know exactly how fragile it is, since all of you, except Turkey, have contacted me to get me on your side once Austria is sufficiently weakened and the "alliance" dissolves into infighting. Since both of my criticisms of your "alliance" make exceptions for Turkey, I suppose that makes them the only one who's made an appreciable threat to me, even more so for their chaotic approach. Sure I can't beat the forces arrayed against me now, but they won't long remain united. The cracks are already being seen- Russia doesn't want to leave Warsaw open for Germany to march in and Germany wants exactly that. Britain and Germany are playing the maneuver game with their reserve navies. And all those British units in the Mediterranean sure look well positioned to take Naples and Marseilles. And Germany may be the one with the most to lose, but Russia won't come out of this on top. They have the least capability to breakthrough my lines on their own, and know that their "allies" Germany and Turkey only seek their own benefit, ready to stab Russia once they can get away with it. I suspect this is why Russia has made the most desperate attempts to seek an alliance with me.

If things continue on their current course, I suspect I'll lose key SCs in the next year or two and then Britain will make a stab rush for 18. Either they succeed, or we're back to massive coalition vs. single Empire, but this time with a substantially more favorable position for the single Empire. The Alternative is that one of Germany and Russia switches sides to join me, and we beat back the others, and then when victory is close I stab to go for the win. I don't see anyone else winning this, since Russia and Turkey have too few SCs to make a real play for victory, and Germany doesn't have enough SCs to overcomes its disadvantageous position. So it comes down to which power would be prefered to win, and I have no illusions that I'd be the favored one there. Ironhead has done an excellent job holding on to alliances longer than I'd consider prudent, securing a superior position and relations which allowed him to crush France unopposed, and now has the largest foothold in the Mediterranean. Panzer was too timid on committing to a front, which is why Germany only has a scrap of France and impossible to hold Naples to show for their efforts. Reis is honestly lucky to still have all of starting Russia considering his near-compulsive need to make enemies of his neighbors. Yes, with Germany and the Ottomans attacking you turn 1, it was a brilliant move to then invade Austria. Italy made the same mistake and got crushed by France. Can't really fault Tamius for anything since I've had the Ottomans near the top of my kill list the entire game as a matter of course, and while the shenanigans in the Black sea the past few turns have been more spiteful than productive, I can't say I'd do differently in that position and wait for being inevitably gobbled up. So of the remaining players besides myself, I'd say Ironhead deserves the win the most, so I'm not too upset by the way it ended up.

That is an interesting thing to say. But recall, that it was not England that contacted Austria; it was Austria who contacted England, desperately seeking rapprochement after English armies stormed the beaches of Italy. Remember this?
aedan777 said:
I have to ask, what's your gameplan here? The current set-up will give Germany the lion's share of my SCs, and you're sacrificing your first strike potential against Germany. If you continue your current course of action, Germayn will be the winner of this war, and make a play for 18 SCs, with you ill-positioned to stop them.

Hey, Germany's my friend! Why would you think that I would stab them in the back???

If they got out of control, I'm sure we could all work together to stop them. I am enjoying this game immensely, and right now we are focused on maintaining the balance of power by curtailing you.

What maneuver game? If we wanted Belgium, or Holland, or Denmark, or Marseille, we would have taken them long before now. We surely do not need our reserve fleets to do it, with all the armies we have stacked up on the Continent. But you know why English armies don't seize German SCs? It's because of a thing called trust. Germany and England share mutual trust, and it has allowed us to counter the ambitions of every little Hitler that wants to expand in Europe. Like you, Austria.

You evidently think I am a man with no honor. As I stated before, I am enjoying this game immensely. And I am thoroughly enjoying my role as kingmaker; supporting Germany and Russia against you today, and perhaps supporting you and Russia against Germany tomorrow. The surest way to lose my role as kingmaker is to unite the rest of you against me by making a rush for 18; which, as I stand at 11 SCs (and about to drop to 10, once I cede Rome back to Germany), would be foolhardy indeed.

It is called integrity and honor. Let everyone know, that when Ironhead plays Diplomacy and forges an alliance as we did with Germany, that nothing breaks that alliance. Not the machinations of EUROO7 (which got him destroyed), not the expansionist ambitions of Austria, not the divided loyalties of Russia. There is one true alliance in this game, and that has been the unwavering friendship and cooperation of England and Germany. Perhaps if Austria could count on one true friend in this game, Austria and that ally would be in a position to challenge the Anglo-German juggernaut.
