DC151 GAME END: 2-WAY DRAW, GERMANY-RUSSIA!

I already have a firm yes vote from the remaining 4, and so this game is called a 2-way draw. Because the build happens first, the centers do change hands and France is eliminated… Then the Spring 09 turn the draw becomes official.

Congrats to Paul & Will for the draw, to Italy for managing the 3 sc despite some rough times, and most of all to England who was able to eek out a survival after being reduced to 1 center way back in 03 – then hang in there 5 more years.

EGS (End-Game-Statements) are welcome, and encouraged from all players! Copy the group, and the blitz address.
