For future runs of the game, having the place names on a map would be beneficial. Even as an experienced player
I constantly made simple mistakes because i mixed up places due to the Seismic Map.

Warren is on Santa's good list and Italy's not-so-good list as he takes 3 from Italy and 1 from Austria, catapulting him to an 18 SC SOLO VICTORY!

Congrats Warren!

I'm picking some random retreats for Italy, tho they are irrelevant as the final resting spot of the Italian units cannot change the outcome.

Italy:
Retreat Ber (can only go to Sil), retreating to Sil
Retreat Mun (can only go to Sil), retreating OTB
Retreat Rum (can go to Ukr or Gal), retreating to Gal

Since the 18 are captured, the final SEISMIC turn is not adjudicated, tho these were the orders (all 4 would have succeeded):

Aus: Join Mao/Tyn, Split Spa/Wms
Eng: Join Ber/Kie, Split Sil/Bal
Ita: Join ion/rum, Split ser/gre
Rus: Join Ion/Edge, Bar off the board

FINAL STANDINGS:

Warren (England): 18 (+4) SOLO
Steve (Italy): 9 (-2) SURVIVAL
Trout (Austria): 6 (even) SURVIVAL
Mike (Russia): 1 (-1) SURVIVAL
Kevin (Germany): ELIMINATED Fall 09
Martin (France): ELIMINATED Fall 04
Matt (Turkey): CIVIL DISORDER Spring 06

NMR’s:
Matt: 2
Kevin: 1

This has been a great game, my first attempt at both Seismic Diplomacy, and using Cyberboard for adjudications. Cyberboard gave me the freedom to move the units around randomly, as well edit the map constantly. Overall tho I much prefer Realpolitik since it does the adjudications for you.

EGS from the surviving 4 are highly recommended, and from our solo victor it's of course REQUIRED.
