End of Game Statements
Andy York (Republic of Texas): That was close, just 20 points between first and last. I'm lucky to have edged ahead at the end. Thanks to everyone for a well played game and, as always, appreciation to Chris for a well managed game.
Bill Scharf (The Nameless Ones):
Thanks for running the game, and congratulations to Andrew for his win.
Always a good game to play. I really enjoyed the uncertainty with only
having six players… always one nation no show, instead of knowing every
nation will make an appearance each turn. As an example, no third epoch
chinese nation? Yahoo! my second epoch chinese nation will maintain
dominance! I also played as Macedonia in a game there was no
Rome…amazingly refreshing! I got within five points of winning in this
game, good enough with the countries I had.
Most wince inducing moment, when I realized Chris Geggus passed
Germany, and by the luck of the draw got…. the United States….ouch!
Kevin Wilson (Royal Manticoran Historical Society):
Excellent and well played game. Very tight to the end. I’d love
to blame that weak performance by Spain in Epoch VI but Japan and the
Manchu performed better than should have been expected so it averaged
out. Just needed a little better somewhere.
Thanks to Chris for running the game and congrats to Andy for a nice, close, win.
Chris Geggus (Green Eyed Giant Squids): Cracking game and some excellent scoring in that last round. Frustrating to get Incas followed by U.S.A. which took me from near first to flat last. U.S.A. with Elite Troops - that's got to be a first. But that's the game. Well done Andy and thanks to Chris for another fun game.
Christopher Hunt (Confédération de Jaegers, Voitgeurs and Huntsmen):
Good game. Should Have been called the Indians as got Indians
Empires 4 out of the first 5 times. Thanks to Chris for game
mastering. Congratulations to Andy on his clear win. The
emails enable much more control of empire expansion. But it still
different for playing on table top. Would not have missed two
obvious errors including not attacking the Eastern Ghats when it had a
capital.
Dave Anderson (Romulus & Remus):
Congrats tp Andy on his win. I got Mongols and Britain and could
not even break into the top 3. I could not get into Europe until
Epoch 5 so I get Christopher H pain
