I don't mean to quibble with Derek -- and I am away from my home computer, so I will have to doublecheck it later -- but I am certain my  orders included MUN to hold and TYS to support the A NAfr to TUS. Amazing what random data get lost in transmission as the game goes on.


 


I have to confess I was sorely tempted to stab France one last time, and retake Tunis this past turn. But I decided I owed him for his later help in recent turns, it would have been overkill once I was assured of taking MOS, and besides, when we weren't fighting each other, Frank was good ally... Although I am sure Sigvold might have enjoyed the final irony had I done so to France.  My apologies again to Sigvold, that I wasnt able to do much to help him survive longer, as my fleets were not in place soon enough.


 


I enjoyed the significance of winning with MOS capture, as that is where I recall AH first stabbed me. Plus it vindicated my despatch of the Black Sea squadron fleet to the Turkey area, to have F Black Sea deal the killing blow to cut SEV support.



 


My thanks too to Derek for his masterful hand over the proceedings, and to everyone for a well fought [and patient!] game.  I expect I will take a break for a while, but look forward to seeing some or all of you again in future games....

Remarkable: England and Austria forgot to order units in APU, MUN, and
TYS - all key locations for the end game - and still England got its
18th SC.

My congratulations to both of you. England for your Solo and Austria
for making the victory such a challenge.
Thanks to you both for your strong play throughout the end.

Derek,
thanks for GMing. This definitely was a game with a lot of
twists and turns.

I'll write my EOG later.
Frank
