Hi All,
As a short-time replacement, I don't have a whole lot to say about the
variant. I did enjoy the little interaction I had with the players.
Wish Eric had warned me more about Siberia -- trusting him from the
get-go almost knocked me out of the game. But Indonesia gave me the
leeway I needed to reposition and form a line against Siberia's
further advance.

Thanks to Adam for GMing, Congrats to Aidan and Alex for a well-played game.

This message is in reply to post 13715:

Indonesia doesn't submit a build, but it doesn't matter, because he does vote 'Yea' on a draw proposal.

The DIAS... fails.
But the Siberian-Indonesian draw succeeds!

Light Brigade Persia survives.
Beleaguered India survives.
Stoic Japan cunningly utilizes geography to survive in spite of an early near-exit.

Siberia and Indonesia wear crowns and look down both graciously and condescendingly upon the rest of the world. What did you expect from kings?

But the game is not over yet!!? It isn't? No. Not until you've written your end of game comments. And I really want them. In addition to the usual praise of your opponents, analysis of the flow of the game, and other good-natured jibes, I ask you to please offer your opinions on the variant itself. I already have solid opinions from Ross (who responded to my mid-game plea). And I can readily point to a couple of awkward spots on the board myself. But nobody knows the game better than people who have played on it.

Thank you and congratulations to all who finished this game. Thank you and 'better luck next time' to those who were eliminated.

For the record, I processed the Winter as:

India:
Remove A Afghanistan

Indonesia:
Build waived

Persia:
Remove F Persian Gulf

Siberia:
Build A West Siberia
Build F Kamchatka
Build A Irkutsk

Final Center Count:
China: 0
India: 2
Indonesia: 13
Japan: 2
Persia: 7
Russia: 0
Siberia: 16
