..in a diff way then I thought was the case. R led T by 1 sc yrs 2-5(+4). Tied yrs 1&6 (still +4) E took a 3sc lead in yr 7 (+1). Tied again here in 8 so it is Rome (Thomas Fletcher) who will play in the finale. Can ck the math by going thru the falls on the site. Mick Cox will get just as many DC points for this 1 as considered a draw on top for the both of them. I should be sad as Mick & G(Markus Paeuser) were always the 1st 2 in by a mile while Thomas &  P(John Gilbert) brought up the rear I actually entered all holds for P as , with E not challenging him, there was nothing any P moves could have done to change outcome.  C (Justin Card) made an attempt to change the outcome yet again (went for Sicily) & still deserves plaudits for playing
out. G also did not give R a freebie. If R had gone for both Vin & Dal he would have gotten neither. Congrats to all on a fine game that started out with a no-show (anyone hear from Allen York recently? Remember him as reliable DW/Cat player who I actually e-mailed up front to join tho apparently was old e-mail. He joined game under a new 1) then 2 Carthages thanks to a mis-mail by me once Thomas filled in as #5. No elims & lowest sc at 4. In a few days will have Mike S set up the normal (non-gb) finale tho will be a time limit of some sort.  http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=dc473Rome: THOMAS FLETCHER
