Friends,
This was an entertaining season. Many clever and creative moves, with a nice mix of bouncing, overpowering, and sneaking in. Essentially everyone gained ground except for the Prussians, who lost ground on every side, and the Ottomans, who lost their final holding. Michael, thank you for being involved and sticking with the game, at least until this last season. You were never able to take off in this one but stuck with it for the good of the game. It is appreciated.
There are no retreats, so on Thursday we advance to adjustments only. Austria, France, Spain and Sweden (twice!) have builds while only Prussia removes one (in addition to their disband).
Oh, and the vote did not pass. No new votes to consider this cycle.
Happy hunting!
Dirk
