Fall 1913

The game ends with Russia clinching enough centres to claim a solo victory. England and France survive but Italy ends the game in Civil Disorder, due to a second consecutive NMR.

Well played Andrew- that was a fine win. The game had its ups and downs and there was one point where it looked like a draw was on the cards. Indeed, one of the DIAS proposals would have carried if one person hadn't forgotten to vote. Right from the word go, Andrew seemed confident of victory and even when France had broken through into Germany and seemed in a healthy position, the Tsar never lost that self-confidence, which ultimately proved well-founded.

I have copied all of the original players from this game into this email and invite you all to submit your Game End Statements. As GM I always like to know how the game unfolded from everybody's perspective. It is good to see how the game unfolded as I am not privy to the negotiations which go on between you all.
