Our replacement players for Cuba and Inca gave it a good shot… as always, many thanks go out to those who fill in when others give up. So hats off to Brutus and Vegas… If anyone in this game wants to be added to the dc Light Brigade, to fill in other games when players abandon, let me or Trout know!

Some major building going on by the larger powers, while others are reduced to a single dot!
