GM COMMENTS:
Well, we say good bye to two more players. Argentina and Paraguay have been eliminated. Thanks to SnowFire and Iain for playing out these positions to the bitter end. I'll take care of your disband orders just to avoid the hassle for you guys.
There is only one Fall 1841 retreat necessary, and I have auto retreated Argentina's A Salta to Formosa as it's only choice. It's rather a technicality at this point anyway. Winter 1841 orders will be due Friday, July 20, 23:59 EST. Spring 1842 orders will be due Thursday, July 26, 23:59 EST.
As always, please check for accuracy.
ADJUSTMENTS DUE:
ARGENTINA - Disband 1 (EOG)
BOLIVIA - Disband 1
BRAZIL - No Change
CHILE - Build 2
COLOMBIA - Build 2
PARAGUAY - Disband 1 (EOG)

Paraguay EOG
Well, my goal was to outlive and see the end of the traitorous Argentinean state, so I got my wish, I suppose. If not outlive, live to see the end of.
When I first looked at the map, one of the most logical alliances I felt would be Argentina-Paraguay. Brazil gets held back, and Argentina has a mostly clean flank it only needs to devote one or two armies too and can hence deal with a Chilean stab or perhaps stab (Chile) themselves. I also decided that if Argentina does not ally with Paraguay I would be doomed, since Brazil really has no incentive to ally with Paraguay unless it’s playing an extremely northern strategy (which I suspect to be highly dangerous for the average Brazil).
In any case, Lindley stabbed, and I spent the rest of the game with my goals as surviving and trying to kill Argentina. My luck seemed a bit sour at first- I misguessed whether Argentina would attack Asuncion or Concepcion, and hence got no builds. Had I guessed correctly, Brazil would be in a good bit stronger position today, I suspect, and Argentina would have exited a bit faster. But after that little incident, my karma apologized for being so mean and I started correctly predicting moves again. I soon had one guerilla army walking around the equivalent of the Balkans in Vanilla- lots of SC’s everywhere to be grabbed in a shifting border territory. While dropping circa 1830 suitcase nukes on the non-SC lands, especially in Argentina. Anyway, my army went on tour, and it would have required a ton of armies to keep it corralled for sure, which the Hogfather didn’t have at the time. Frankly he probably could have just ignored me and simply let one army trail me around to retake anything I took, but he eventually stuck the 7 armies around Misiones to keep me out for good. No matter how well you predict moves, if there’s no place to go mathematically, it’s time to go out of business.
I had great fun this game, it was my most enjoyable tiny nation bid since Rocky Road Diplomacy. I think it’s more fun to play a small nation either early in the game or as a replacement later in the game, because then you aren’t moping around with your dreams of glory dashed- they were already dashed right from the start, and you’re playing just for enjoyment.
