... You weren't in such good position at the time. You were losing ground quickly to Mughalistan! And Andrew could afford M to grow a little more (not...
... Navally, we were. We had 5 ships against 2, one of wich was Greg's. Even if Andrew had build another one, we would still have outnumbered him enough to...

... That seems more accurate, also in my own experience. Guess that if Carleton or ANY OTHER PLAYER would have stayed, the game could have been very different....
... That's too much to say: in the East there were only 2 fleets, those of Vijayanagar, G could have well confronted V in the seas. Furthermore: he should have...
... Philippe, As mentioned before, I really enjoyed working with you, and it is a pity that neither of us were quite strong enough to direct the course of the...
... Ah, but my "patsy" status was at least part due to the absence of any pressure from Delhi on Gondwana earlier on when I faced an implacable foe in Bahmana....
... Of course I remember. And I remember exactly how you did it as well ... Well, that was an excellent diplomatic strategy. Ignore the 500 lb. gorilla. ... ...
"You glossed over the whole AYU episode quite a bit here! While you may have thought getting me to switch to you was "easy", I can tell you from my perspective...
... There are no stalemates: it was a solo by concesion. Anyhow, that's largely why I think the game was rather pitiful: most players seemed to prosecute an...
Gentlemen. A clarification for you. It was neither a solo concession nor a draw. If you want to consider it a conceded board top, that would be fairly...
... I would almost say that if there had been this level of exchange consistently during the game from all parties, it would have been a much more interesting...
Luis, ... In general, you may be right that Rajputana has more to gain in the north, but in Diplomacy, nothing is always true. It depends! Certainly,...
... Then he should have be made useful for my hypotetical M-R (+G) alliance as mere meat. I think that P was willing to cooperate in such a project as his main...
Luis, you don't *really* want me to comment here, do you? ;^) I'll confine myself to an EOG for Byzantium for Western World 901, in the appropriate forum....
... LOL! You do truly forget about what happened. You took Kashmir by force, with Rajput support, and let Persia in Herat (you didt take Samarkand too). The...
Well, Luis, you asked. On the positive side, I think you are a fair tactician, and have a generally good grasp of the big picture. That said, you seem to...
Luis, ... That was an option, and I think it is clear that Greg did try to pursue attacks on Delhi with Mughal help, but the alliance truly was "hypothetical"....
We could follow like this for centuries. Still: However, you and Andrew did cooperate, first kicking me out of BID, then advancing Andrew's troops southward....
Yes, I will have to polish my negotiating attitude if I am to become a better player. As you say I normally see the big picture quite well (not always of...
Luis, ... Agreed, this will likely be my last response since most of this has already been discussed between us, and the others are probably tired of listening...
Hello all, First of all, a simple but truthful statement: I am not like this. In this game you've seen me NMR, lose interest and get into a self-destructive...
in regard to Luis's comments on Delhi's EOG: Yes, I was eliminated in the first round. Yes, I was eliminated by Luis and Andrew. That was more or less...
