ADJUDICATION FALL 1904 (TURN 8 )

GM Comment:

ENGLAND HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. My personal thanks go to Andy for playing England and for playing to the end. A three-way attack involving France, Germany and Russia is always tough to counter. Andy would be welcome in any future DiplomaticCorp game that I GM. I urge each remaining player also to send their thanks to Andy.
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS ADJUDICATION
