TopGunBoat Journal: End of Game

A game of highly ranked players from one website ended in a 4-way draw. Along the way, there were twists, turns, and a certain GM learned a thing or two 🙂

TopGunBoat Journal: Conclusion

This game is ending either as A/E/F or A/E/F/I. The deciding factors are England’s effectiveness in getting Austria to turn on Italy and Austria’s willingness to do so…

TopGunBoat Journal: 1912

England again waived the build. This time, a journal entry was provided. With a couple participants not providing a journal entry at times in 1912 (including myself), I decided to combine 1912 into one post.

TopGunBoat Journal: Fall 1911

It seems like nothing will change (France didn’t enter a journal entry, probably for this reason). Will England succeed in getting Austria to change course?

TopGunBoat Journal: Winter/Spring 1911

An uneventful Winter leads quickly into Spring…

TopGunBoat Journal: Fall 1910

England issued five convoy orders urging Austria to attack Italy. Now that Austria is in Piedmont, we’ll see if Austria does that!

TopGunBoat Journal: Winter/Spring 1910

England posted thoughts in Winter that basically cover Winter and Spring, (and didn’t post any thoughts in the Spring), so this post will combine Winter and Spring 1910.

With Russia eliminated, the board is firmly England/France vs. Austria/Italy…
