Hi guys,

as the header might have already told you, the three-way draw proposal (including Britain, Poland and Turkey) was unanimously ratified.

Congratulations to Dirk, Wlad and Harvey for turning their respective countries into such powerhouses. The three-way draw matches those three countries' dominance of Europe. Yet let me also commend Matt, Mikael, Darryl and Greg for having fought the good fight. I'm especially grateful to Darryl and Greg for having taken over powers that were under considerable stress. Whatever the outcome you achieved, I hope you enjoyed the game and thank you all for having served as playtesters.

As my house rules stipulate that any further season is not adjucated, no winter adjucation here follows. But I wonder whether I should base the DC SC charts on what would have followed this winter. Perhaps I should inofficially publish it simply for that purpose and for sake of interest. Not sure.

Now only one last - hopefully not too onerous - task remains, namely for everyone involved to submit their EOG reports. Please send them to me by our traditional moves deadline time, Thursday 6 PM CET. I shall then publish them together with my own two cents and an assortment of stats.


Cheers!

Charles
