Whew... just about to go off to bed. Quick thanks to all that played, from chatting with the guys in the US a good time was had by all and everyone is now truly exhausted. :slight_smile:

I think it was a shock for those that didn't play before the speed with which turns are run, the planning that is needed to get everything within 1hr 15-30min before a quick breather and another turn is run.

It was a very tight game throughout but Sam adjudicated a win for the FP after 15 turns (2 DS dead, and despite an advantage in position towards the end for the DS with a long term game; FTF is a w/end game). Technologically it worked well with Sam being in AIM/Skype contact with the US team and except for a minor fubar at the start it all went without a hitch.

So after 26 or so hour gaming, recovery from food-poisoning on Thursday by yours truly, and added to that a glass of champagne to celebrate an excellent game; thanks to all.

Any thoughts and game discussion most welcome. I suggest the forum for ease, but I'll post this here just in case.
