Austrian Win. Fails!

Press

To the King of England
Might I indicate my disapproval of your spiteful attack on Germany in Norway, thus giving Austria the crucial SC of StP and hence the game.
Good sportsmanship would dictate that you should always play to improve your position, with the ultimate goal of reaching either a victory or draw. From the look of things your move did neither.
Tell me sir, how did letting Austria gain StP do anything other than bringing the game to an early end?
In my opinion you are not playing in the spirit of the game. Sadly, even if you were to see the error of your ways and repent at this stage, i fear that it will be too late to stop Austria winning as he now requires only one italian home SC (or Tunis) to win--and i must gamble in order to hold all of these as nothing is guaranteed.
Note that his odds of gaining 2 of my SCs was negligable, and he probably could have been pushed back at some point. Just think, were it not for your cowardly act, you may have even taken part in a 4-way draw.
Sadly, a bad sport such as yourself wouldn't care about such things.
I sincerely hope that I never have the displeasure of playing in a game involving you ever again. DY

GM Notes

Went and saw "Aida" last night. It was wonderful! The plot excellent, the artistry excellent, the Music was excellent. I recommend it to those who enjoy good theater.
