DIPLOMATICCORP DC192 - THE SCUM ON THE SLOP BUCKET
STANDARD GAME, STANDARD MAP, 2-SEASON GAME YEAR
ADJUDICATION FALL 1904 (TURN 8)
WEDNESDAY 4th AUGUST 2008
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
Remember to also submit any potential retreat orders with your usual orders for the next turn.
Preliminary orders are highly recommended.
Please put the game number 'DC192', season, year and country in the subject line of any orders.
