Hi everybody,
I'm very pleased to say that we have a result. The three-way draw proposal between Austria, France and Italy has succeeded!
Congratulations to John, Stuart and Eric on their victory, and commiserations to Hugh, Danilo and Scott. I thought this was a well-fought-out game that probably reached the right sort of conclusion in the end. If any of you would like to contribute end-of-game statements, then you can 'reply all' to this message if you wish - this will ensure they get posted to the Blitz messageboard.
It was a pleasure to GM for you all, and good luck for your second round games.
Best,
Jerome
