Gentlemen.

Round 2 is likely to kick off within the next week or so. There are a few
adminstrative issues that need to be run before that
starts though.

Firstly, i need the players to confirm to me, if they are able to play in the
second round of the competition.

Could i have yes or no confirmations asap please?

The game/variant for round 2 will be selected by voting on it. Once you have
voted, you
are 'effectively' locked into the game and will score a CD if you choose not
to play
based on the variant.

At this stage, I am waiting to hear from :-

mike(at)southwall.com; stevelytton(at)hotmail.com; tfletch33(at)yahoo.comDeep within
the bomb-proof walls of an undisclosed location in southern Europe, the
leaders of the unoccupied territories gathered. The walls shook as
explosions rocked the ground above them - dust sifting from the ceiling with
each bone-jarring thump to collect on the ground. The Tsar pointed at the map
spread on the table before them. "Nyet, comrades. This cannot be!" His
finger hovered above the black dot that represented Vienna, as if somehow he
could change it back from black to red. The pink-clad Austrian before him
grimaced. "Unfortunately, its true. The attack from Tyrolia was too much
for us to hold.""But can they really be at nineteen supply centers?" The
Italian questioned - his voice cracking. The Sultan smirked. "Their gains
came in the west, from France, not from our Eastern centers." He sat in his
chair quietly smoking his hookah and trying to ignore the sounds of the war
above them. "We might as well all be waving white flags." At that moment,
the door opened and the French President walked in. His wardrobe consisted
of shining white garments, from his stylish coat to his burnished shoes. A
white beret topped his smiling face. Whistling to himself, he stopped as he
suddenly noticed that the other four men were glaring at him. "What?" he
asked. "Something I said?" ------------------------------And with France, so
goes the board. Congratulations to Mike Sims for a sweeping 19 center German
solo victory in DC-104. Finessing his way back into Vienna, the German also
storms into Marseilles and Spain to seal the deal. And with that, the first
round of the Invitational comes to a close. There was one retreat required
from Spain, but it had only the Gulf of Lyons to go to. But of course, that
is purely window-dressing with the game resolved. My thanks to all you
players who made this game a very memorable one. EOG's are, of course,
extremely welcome. I would greatly look forward to what all of you have to
say about this crazy game of ours. It's been an honour being the GM for this
- my hat is off to all of you. As always, please let me know if I've made a
mistake at all in the adjudication. For those who keep track of these
things, the last few Subject Headers came from the great White Stripes album
"Get Thee Behind Me Satan." Cheers! (And congratulations once again to
Mike..)Trout
