I was Austria. I have no idea how the nations were assigned, but I was the lowest of the point totals for final round, and Austria is a fitting nation for guy who barely made the playoffs.
I don't have much to say. I think Austria in a gunboat is inevitable death. Since I knew any self-respecting Russia was going to open to Galicia, which the Czar did, then I decided to just play the rest of the game to give a tactical advantage to Turkey, and signal to him, I would be his Janissary. Alas, even though I repeatedly offered support to the Sultan, even after he had moved on me, I figured there was no path for me but an early elimination. I think I was gone in 1904.
It is what it is. So, my long-standing disdain of Russia continues. No matter what nation I am assigned, I have a pathological hatred of Russia, and will work against it no matter what. One day, I have a peculiar hope to play in a standard where Russia does not piss me off.
