my best start was in the montreal map where at the the start of the game i already conrtrolled to territories at the north of the map. whatever those are called. So i got like a plus 3 bonus for doing nothing.
my best start in a game was a triples game with cmeb4udie and jaydog on the british isles map. we finished round 1 with 3 continents; lands end, wales, and scotland. And we held them all. We eliminated qintin too soon so he counted as a deadbeat, but it was a pretty good game.
Game 32046
I have twice started with all of Austrailia, and the second time it took me one attack to unite alll of my troops so I had stronger defenses that anyone and could attack where I pleased with each turns armies
