Congratulations to those who survived, but especially to Pontus/Chochem - the Balkans certainly lived up its reputation in this one, and he managed it better than any of us.
 
Personally, after a disastrous start, I was delighted to have survived 1901, never mind still be there (only just, may be, but still there) in 1908!
 
I hope we meet up again in the future.
 
John

Congrats to Pontus.  Turkey seemed to sneak up in this game as the dominate nation.  I guess with most of us concentrating on France and Austria it allowed Turkey to grow without too much resistance.  It's a good reminder that sometimes you have to drop your agenda and tactics for the big picture.

Oh yeah.  Whoops.  Well, after we got past the rough beginning it was good though, eh?

Thanks for a fun game everyone!  It started out a bit rough (I find Matthew's "no NMRs" amusing given the first year and our couple of abandons ), but after we got a good set of folks playing, it was quite enjoyable!
