Hi Guys,

Thanks for a great game that really cracked along.

With the exception of Steve, (Turkey ~ I enjoyed your last orders though!) I had physical interactions with everyone and enjoyed it all.

There were many difficult/challenging moments throughout the game, and I hope to detail some of these in my EOG statement soon.

To Brian, who came to my rescue in Iberian, sorry I had to take advantage later.

To Chinmay, what a pity you stabbed, we could have been great!

To Paolo (Joe, "dumb as a bucket of hammers" lol! Changing your plans unilaterally made me very nervous, sorry!

To Matthew, we never quite hit it off, I still dont know why...

To Michael, I think you were the best tactician on the board, how you survived those early onslaughts I dont know. From afar I admired some of your marvellous play in Turkey. We stabbed each other at the same time, luckily (for me!) mine was the more fatal...


My thanks to everyone,

I hope to cross swords or join up with you all again very soon!

Finally, a special word is due for our esteemed GM Steve Lytton, who kept things moving along quickly and smoothly ~ a man who makes his deadlines, runs a tight ship and yet is sympathetic to requests for deferrals.You set a very high standard Steve, much appreciated, thanks!

Joe
