Many congrats to Tim! And thank you and Dorian for making my little piratical act end as I'd intended - with me losing, but everyone else save Turkey losing as well. Mutually assured destruction, yay!
Alex, I wish I had convoyed you to Edi as planned - Turkey convinced me to help him knock you down a peg and let England stab you fully, but to my dismay that almost fell apart and nearly resulted in England pulling off a stalemate line!
Fun game, though I wish I hadn't been so busy this last term and had a couple critical sets of orders go missing. I might have been a survivor. The opening aggressiveness towards me by Germany and England didn't worry me too much, as I figured it would pull Russia and maybe Austria west and toss us all into a fun melee. Italy in Munich almost made that a catastrophe for Germany, and if the orders had made it in as planned England would have seen two fleets off his western coast in year 2, with only a single build to counter!
But still, props to you guys for pulling off an early attack on me, even if Alex did tip me off to the convoy to Picardy. And props to Turkey for a well played push to a complete victory!

The E/T endgame proposal fails, so the game continues... long enough for a Turkish solo!
Germany bounces Turkey's attempt to take Moscow and holds on to Warsaw, but the Turks march into Munich. England's attempt to regain Spain fails to specify a coast, but would not have succeeded anyway. With Turkey also taking control of Marseilles, that gives him a total of 18 centers and a solo victory. The final game map and Dip file are attached for your reference.
Thanks for playing, everyone, and good luck in round 2 of the Blitz! Cory P.S. My apologies for mediocre GMing early in this game. I resolve to do better in round
