One minor correction ... ;D Fleet Tyrrhenian Sea needs to be deleted (it moved to Tunis, and Tyrrhenian Sea should be empty). Very sneaky attempt with the convoy to Tuscany, Jer - I am impressed! Had it succeeded, I would have been in a bunch of trouble. I was expecting Fleet GoL to try and cut support in the Tyrrhenian (not expecting it to move and instead wind up off the coast of Rome-Naples), so I tried to move Piedmont to Tuscany to be able to bounce any attempt at Rome later, but this worked out better (in my favour). Still, good gamble. Okay, I want to see if at this point France would agree to concede so we can start up a new game? We could run another year, but I am guaranteed to pick up Moscow in the Spring, and France does not have enough units in the right spots to take any from me for at least two or three more turns. Although I just read the rules and it turns out the winning number is 18, not 17 like I thought, I think this game may be done? What do you say, Jeremy? Check and mate?

Haha oops! Where did that extra boat come from?? I must have CTRL+Ced instead of CTRL+Xed. I will try to speak to Jeremy today to see if he is willing to concede.

Steve, You may wish to re-check the map - there are no builds that you can take from me at this stage in the game; as such, we are better off to call this a draw. I can hold you at an indefinite stalemate for everything North of Marseilles, based on the territories I already occupy - you don't have the leverage to displace me ever in any of them. As I have so many boats available to move into the Med, eventually we will either reach an impasse there, or I will gradually take Tunis & potentially Naples/Rome (giving me 17 & 18, respectively). Upon re-checking, let me know if you want to just call it a draw now - if you wish, we can play through for a few more turns to validate the stale-mate, but I'm sure the other folks want to start a new game soon.
Cheers, J.

That's the spirit! NEVER SAY DIE!!! So be it! CHAAAAARGE! ;D It wouldn't be a stalemate, even if we called it now - I'm still ahead. You're right, I don't have anything directly threatening you yet, but I'm farther into your territory than you are into mine. The central Europe thing will come down to who can outguess who, and you won't be able to pick up anything in the south, I assure you - your gazillion boats (5 turns away, I might add) will bottleneck in the Mid Atlantic anyway. Lets wrap this up quickly. Seriously, it's just the two of us and Brian, so there's no reason we can't check this every day for the next week till it's done?

You are ahead, Steve, and will remain so - you'll just never reach 18, which I why I call it a stale-mate.
But as you wish. I'll put through my Spring moves now. Just please keep your mind open to calling it a draw when nothing changes after the next few turns (in respect to those waiting).

Do we have a full roster of 5 other people ready to play or is it still in the planning stages?

As far as I am aware, yes. Chris/Brian could confirm for certain.
