Its been 11 years since the continent of Europe was plunged into war, but finally the seven sinners of Europe have become the four sinners and decided to put away their guns and agreed to end the war.
A Four way Draw between Sultan Michael Holm [8 centers], Michael Stroz in Italy [9 centers], Kaiser Jyri Syrja in Germany [3 centers], and Her Majesty the Queen Mark Utterback [14 centers].
I'm sure everyoen would enjoy reading end of game statements from all the different players (past and present). Feel free to group email them to everyone or send them to me and I will forward them along. As for the GM I have just a few words that I would like to relay about the makeup of this game.
First of all I would like to thank Michael Stroz for stepping up and leading italy. He was the third leader to command those pesky Green units and did a magnificent job. I'd also like to thank Rachael Jameson, Santiago Villamayor, and Anthony Stevens for keeping with their declining positions even though the outcome was bleak. Its people like you that I can count on. Thanks!
I have two points to make about the game: First I think Italy did a great job getting a leg up on Mark in what is usually a complete stalemate line. I'm unsure how it would have worked out if the game had continued. Also, I've been waiting for the Turk to stab Italy since Fall 1909! If a stab wasn't coming why was that army parked in Serbia for so long? Turkey did the "right" thing, if he had stabbed I believe Mark would have won the solo and Holm would have lost his share in the draw, but the temptation to improve your position must have been immense.
Lastly I would like to make a shout out to Andy [The White Wolf] who was there to answer my question and coach me through my fist GM experience whenever I needed him.
If any of you are still reading I hope to see you in either the next game I play [South American Supremacy] , or the next game I GM [hopefully a Modern Variant]
Thank you all,
Alan Farrington
