[color=darkblue:ed08c5e7fc]Thanks everyone.[/color:ed08c5e7fc] It was a great game, despite some drop-outs and technical glitches.

Matt,
you did great in playing AH. Not an easy Power to play, but you quickly managed to become the largest of us. And you always kept me puzzled of your true intentions. Just as you probably were puzzled of mine. We had a great pact together but it always felt like we had to watch our backs, dont you agree. That makes it even more surprising that it lasted so long. And of course, yes, we had an advantage with Turkey dropping out early.

Alf,
enjoyed orchestrating our moves together albeit only later in the game. In the early stages you often left me wondering what your real targets were. No doubt France played a role in adding some of the noise. Also early in the game you, I, and even France, found we had a common enemy: Germany had broken just too many promises and had run an erratic course. And as a result you almost went down. So it was great to see you making such a comeback with ENG.

Doug,
thanks for your GMing. It must have been difficult at times. Players with NMRs and even NBRs, technical problems (did you manage to get it working on the Apple? I'm considering buying one myself and of course would like to run RealPolitik on it), gaming questions that would drive you nuts (aplogies if I did), and update on update for the orders...
If it means anything: you definitely raised my interest in trying GMing it myself on short notice (if I pass DCs judgement, that is).

Looking fwd to meet you again in future games.
