Vote is unanimous 4 of 4, we have a Persian victory here!

Congrats to John, the new intern in the â€œI soloed my first game at dcâ€ club. A tough place to get into, since we all only get one shot at a first gameâ€¦

Ya know this game seemed to have its challenges, perhaps some newer players for a variant, whereas variants tend to more often draw some regulars instead. And then around mid-game, I got hit pretty hard in real life and I ran a few turns a few days late, and that seemed to be a drag on the momentum.

If I have any advice for yâ€™all going forward, *turn in prelims*. There were so many turns when I was short a set of orders or two. Just pick something â€“ anything â€“ when you get the results, and turn them in, then revise as the turn goes along. It really helps to keep the game moving.

Other than that, letâ€™s seeâ€¦ so far this game has been played twice, and itâ€™s ended in a solo both times. Very rare! What is it about this map that makes it so solo-prone? Once for Sparta and once for Persia now. See the historyâ€¦

EGSâ€™s (End-Game-Statements) would be appreciated from all! Any thoughts on the variant? The game? Anything else?

Iâ€™m pretty happy to wrap it up, since Iâ€™ll have my hands full w the upcoming Winter Blitz tournament. If youâ€™re not already in, be sure to check it out. This is the first year weâ€™ve had a sponsor!

Enjoy, and see you next game!
