Hi guys,
 
 we've now reached the end of the road. Turkey controls 15 SCs. Therefore, the Sultan is hailed as Master of Europe. Congratulations, Andew! Well done.
 
 The game however isn't quite over. I hope everyone involved will send me an end-of-game-report. I shall then publish all jointly this coming Wednesday.

 Guys, I'm afraid I misread a Danish order. As a result, Abo is conquered and Sweden effectively eliminated just as the game comes to a close.
