Game Over! A Russian Solo Is Achieved As Russia Takes the Final 3 Centers and Defends Bulgaria and Rumania.
Congrats to Ian and All Thanks to Darryl and Nick for Playing Out Their Countries
A Game Definitely Affected by NMR's and CD's is Complete


All,
Let's take nothing away from Ian; he pulled off a solo and that is a difficult proposition regardless of circumstances. This game seemed troubled once we saw several Western power CD's. However, I still expected to see this end in a 2 or 3-way draw. I am not sure what exactly occurred that prevented A/G from working together to stop the solo but somehow Ian was able to keep that animosity alive and take advantage.


All in all an interesting game. Also proof that not all NMR's aid the nearest neighbor! Thanks to the players who held on throughout to play this game. I wish you all better luck on future games and hope that NMR's are a think of the past on our site. I know that they are top of mind for both Mike and myself; we want to find a way to reduce them.


Feel free to send end-game statements to the dc271(at)diplomaticcorp.com address.


All the best,
Garry
