I don't object to declaring the Scots the winner of this playtest.  I don't know that it is inevitable, but I don't care enough to fight about it.

Guys -

     I agree that the game has moved into a endgame tactics exercise and is now

devoid of diplomacy. However, let me humbly suggest that we acknowledge the
inevitable for the game ending proposal and declare The Scots the winner. I will
formally add that to the table, Andy.

I believe Chris is right.  I, too, will vote for it
so we can get some additional feedback to Ben on the current state of the
game.  For now, this has devolved into a game of military tactics instead
of diplomatic relations.
 
I recognize that if the draw passes, I will be sparing
each of you gentlemen a bodacious Anglo-Saxon butt-whippin', but sometimes
you have to do what's in the best interest of the greater hobby.  Best
wishes.

I am voting YES to this draw -- not because the game is
uninteresting, or the tactics, but because this is a playtest and much of the
diplomacy has stopped.  


There are better pure wargames than diplomacy.    This has
been a lot of fun and I would happily play in the next iteration of the
variant, which I think has a lot of promise.
