End of Game Statements

Chris Geggus (GEGS):  Well played Bill. A brave decision to keep the Germans, although you were never going to get GB or France when you didn't draw them, so perhaps a safe nation in Northern Europe made sense. Also led everyone else to expect something earlier than Germany and so little removal of your pieces from the board. Very impressed. I'll forget about my disasters and just look forward to the next game. Thanks to Chris.

Dave Anderson (Romulus & Remus): Congrats to Bill on his well earned victory. As I was saying in my press throughout the game . First crapitosis then wild success and finally back to crapatosis. I start out with 10 and I only go 5 spaces and the 1 st one is free. sign me up for my next beating please. I will take another. Thanks to Chris for another well GM ed game.
Bill Scharf (Harried Bureaucrats):  Thanks for running the game, fun as usual! A bit of a roller coaster game, at least for me anyway. I did well with my initial counrtries, perhaps too well, as I was passed the khmers and the Seljuk Turks in epochs IV and V. I kept the Incas/Aztecs in VI as a calculated risk to get my strength down and draw early in epoch VII, and hopefully my other board positions wouldn’t deteriorate too much during that epoch, and it worked, I drew first in VII! BUT I drew Germany, not my first or second choice, or third or fourth or fifth for that matter…..as Chris g. pointed out, I could have been badly chewed up boardwise if I kept it and went last…..but….who would suspect that if I drew Germany I would keep it….I wouldn’t have! Very close and well fought game everybody!
David Hood (HICK):  Yes congrats to our winner!

Kevin Wilson (RMHS):  Well, at least coming up 1VP short to Geggs is moot now. Congrats to Bill. As Geggs said, a brave choice to keep the Germans. I would have been happy with anything except the Dutch (thanks Chris) but should have known, keeping the Romans in EIII was a bad choice even if I got off to a strong, early (too early) position.  As always loads of fun. Still one of may favorites.

Thanks to Chris for running the game.  These go pretty quick with the email process so I’m always ready to go again.

Andy York (Republic of Texas):  Early on I expected to not be in the running for winning and shooting for upper middle of the pack. However, that became a pipe dream in the previous Epoch. The question became would i keep out of the basement - not even a close chance.

Congrats to Bill on his solid win and thanks to Chris for running the game.

Christopher Hunt (The Greenies):  Congratulations to Bill on his fine win.  Many thanks to Chris for running the game so well.  Congratulations to Bill on his fine win with the lowest number of army units.  I think Bill won by keeping the Aztecs. A brave decision.  Even had he be given the USA in the last era, on the actual results he would still have won, but still brave to keep Germany. As the Manchus the only areas I could hit were in China but conquering China would have lead to a much lower VP toll or me.  As to keeping the Romans, I remember a previous game where we played 3 turns before the map was changed. In Epoch 4 nations had to play not knowing how much the Romans had been hurt by previous nations. The result in one game I remember is that the Romans survived in many areas. I am much appreciative of the present system whereby you can see the situation when your nation appears.  Went for a policy of most points and taking out strongpoints rather than laying down strongholds. This resulted in having ribbon empires and virtually nothing on the board at the end of a turn except for the Greeks in Crete.
