This was a fun, frustrating and also interesting game.  I had an alliance with England and good relations with Italy.  IF we had been able to subdue Germany more quickly who knows how this might have turned out - I swear Germany had esp or hacked into our computers because he seemed to know our every strategy and countered them all quite nicely.  By the time Germany was conquered a stalemate had set in - and with that frustration comes the usual disagreement as to how to proceed.  I made a grab for Italian centers which caused England to attack me.  Around that same time Archer 

(Russia) lost interest or got too busy to play and that hurt us all.  Had Russia declared for someone or some strategy things might have been different. Mike's stepping in to play Russia was great, he was a voice of reason and breathed some new life into the game.  Too bad he is a Mets fan!     I thought everyone played well, Simon stabbed me twice but did so politely and always stayed in touch.  Lucas took advantage of his opportunities and might have gotten the win had he been bolder. Thanks to everyone - especially our esteemed game master Warren.  Well done.

It seems just in time, as interest in this game has clearly waned.  The four way draw has passed.  Italy has managed a survival.
 
End of game statements are welcome of course.  I always enjoy reading them.

 
Well played all of you.
 
Cheers,
