Why Nobody Deserves to Win:

Spain: Well there was that badly-bungled stab of France. Of course there's the fact that he couldn't have foreseen the German withdrawl from the French front, but the British fleet was looming near German centers...

Russia: Russia's vengeful bloody-mindedness will be his undoing, just wait and see.

Poland: He's Poland, come on!

Britian: He pushed the war against Russia a bit too long and didn't hit the Germans early enough. Of course he couldn't have forseen the German stab on Poland that strengthened the Russians so much, but if he worked with France against Germany earlier on, the Krauts would be pretty much dead now.

Italy: Early game belligerance (he bounced with three countries in the first year and then got the Turks after him soon after) has kept him on the defensive the whole game, should have worked harder to get an ally early on.

Turkey: Newbies shouldn't win, dammit

Germany: Moved his forces EAST after the Brits stabbed him.

France and Egypt: Actually they haven't made any large decisions that haven't proven justified.

and map

[GePap]

First. on the map: Fleet in Rome, not army, fleet.

Also, I am surprised at Spain's new eastern european holdings (green, not yellow)

Also, I am glad to see the great wisdom of the Egyptian government has been recognized after much prior malignment

[GePap]

Oh, and certainly, it seems only Egypt or France deserve to win...I will do my utmost to make sure the undeserving don;t win (though the bias towards newbies is quite disturbing )

Yes, yes he did. I was willing to concede Scandinavia to him, but no, he had to attack Murmansk and help the Poles.

And hey, my vengeful bloody-mindedness hasn't failed me yet, except when Ukraine stabbed me in the back.

[chequita guevara]

Pravda!
President Vladimir Putin today congratualated Germany for restoring its territorial integrity. "The English pirates have been driven from the German homeland. Soon the sound of English will be heard no more on Europa's great shores."

Mean while, the Polish aggressors have been driven out of the CIS and are surrounded. The last Polish stronghold is expected to fall shortly, though holdouts have seized control in Prague, from the Italians.

Russia sends thanks to the government of Turkey for their assistence in difficult times, and vows to come to her aid when necessary.

Retreat to Bri

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Already sent, but might as well get a +1 for it.

TA Cro retreats to Bos. (In other news, General Abdul the Bee is now Abdul the Half-Bee.)

[Frozzy]

F Mon retreats OTB

[Bosh]

retreats:
Spain OTB
Turkey to Bos
UK to Hel
Germany to Bri

This means I need disbands/builds from: UK, Russia, France and Italy (bit of a no-brainer).

updated map:

[chequita guevara]

Good thing France has a build, or England could seize Paris.

[SnowFire]

Build sent via PM, with 10 minutes to spare.

And the Spanish dogs knew exactly what they were getting themselves into before, right in Spring 2001.

[chequita guevara]

Boshko, did you run out of green electrons for your map?

[Bosh]

d'oh! turkey gets a build. results delayed slightly.

*smacks head into wall repeatedly*

[orange]

Hey, I only moved east because I thought Britain wouldn't be stupid enough to come after me when Russia was going to destroy him in Skans. Oh well, he paid for it this turn didn't he?!
