| DC166 (wb0821) - Fall 13 Deadline Reminder - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Heya 166'ers...
Just a gentle nudge from your not-so-gentle GM that Fall 1913 orders are due in 10 hours. I believe I have all sets in hand, so we're looking good.
Cheers!

Heya folks,
Well, welcome to the longest running game of the Blitz, Round Two! Max and I seem to be a great combination, because the two of us were both also in the longest-running game of Round One.. Hmm..
But enough natter from the GM. Austria secures St. Petes and also takes a little side-trip into Naples for good measure. Adjustments are due from all three of you - deadline for Winter 1913 will be set for tomorrow - Friday, June 20th (11:59 PM GMT).
Cheers!

No retreats required, we move directly into Fall 1914. Orders will be due Thursday, June 26th (11:59 PM GMT). As always, please just let me know if you spot any errors.

Heya Blitzens,
Fall 1914 Deadline will be rocking out in just over 19 hours. I believe I have 3 for 3 order sets in - but if you want any changes please do it in that time-frame.
Cheers!

Things get tense as Africa falls to the English, Turkey finds itself surrounded and all signs point to quite a party soon to come in St. Petersburg...
No retreats are required, and only one adjustment for Winter - a build for England. However, we do have two end-game proposals to munch on:
1. An Austrian/English draw
2. An English solo.
Please have your votes for both in with the Winter deadline of Friday, June 27th (11:59 PM GMT). Any abstentions will count as a 'no'.
Cheers folks. Please let me know if you spot any errors.

The diplomats strive to bring peace to the table, but the minute their back is turned the table is blown to smithereens. We battle on!
England raises up some new cannon fodder in London. We'll groove along and set the Spring 1915 deadline for Monday, June 30th (11:59 PM GMT).

| DC166 - English Solo Declared - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
PEACE!!
I guess rumours of the diplomatic corps headquarters being bombed were over-stated, after all. Well, at least the damage to the building was that is. We find the table containing the various peace proposals still intact, and in fact there are mutual agreements on declaring an English solo.
And so, the war ends. Congratulations to Nigel for his second solo victory in the Blitz. Hats off also go to Max and Clark for surviving till the end, as well as to all the players for their efforts. I have to say that this has been a very interesting game to run and to observe. End-of-game statements are, of course, very welcome. =)
Cheers everyone! See you all in next years Winter Blitz! =)

Just a brief note (I'll write a fuller EGS later) to say thanks to Mike for running the tournament, Trout for GMing and everyone for playing. Only my second game on the site, and the standard of play is very high - great to see few nmrs and people fighting on to the end. The high number of solos overall says to me we are a very determined bunch.
cheers
Nigs
