Well this was an odd one for me.
From the start it looked like I had a strong coalition to take a very rude and arrogant France out of the game very quickly.
But Germany decided to go his own way and stabbed me very early.
I can only think his guilt and my offer of my strategic advice (and Russia 's support) convinced him to leave me in the game.
Thanks to all but one for a good game, and Thak you Mike for another smoothly run game.
See y'all next round....

Jason

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.

Final standings and round 1 scores:

Russia: Draw – 16.7 points
Germany: Draw – 16.3 points
Italy: Survival – 4.3 points
England – Survival – 4.1 points
France – Eliminated – 2 points
Turkey – Eliminated – 2 points
Austria – Eliminated – 2 points

Hope it was fun! If you have not already, CONFIRM TO ME either on the website, or via email, that you are in for round 2 – we need an accurate player count to prep the pairings.

Enjoy,
-mike
