Dirk,
 
I'm obviously very dense.  Please again explain to me how I don't 
understand that you have no intention of soloing in this game, or ever, since 
our goals differ so greatly.  Thank you.
 
Ray

The 
  three end game proposals all fail, but it makes no difference as Dirk claims 
  the three centers needed to give Russia a solo victory. Congratulations to 
  Dirk for a well deserved solo victory, and thank you all for playing. I 
  enjoyed GMing this game, and I hope you enjoyed playing it. I'd very much 
  appreciate end of game statements from each of, at your 
  convenience.
There were possible retreats from Britain and Austria, but 
  as they would not change the result of a Russian solo, I took the liberty of 
  auto-retreating the units so that all three remained on the board. If for some 
  reason either Michael or Sun would prefer to retreat off the board, let me 
  know and I'll amend the final map. But if you do so, please be aware there 
  will still be no winter builds, so you will not be able to rebuild that 
  unit.
