Perdita LogsRoss explained his reasoning by saying that "basically, if i'm going to go out, i want to go out being a bastard to Piers". It seems that I was overoptimistic about Russia's longevity...
Where now? Russia will be dead by the end of the year (assuming Egypt doesn't aid an attack upon Ankara) - as will Spain (at last). Britain will be down to one SC, I'll guess that Britain will leave her continental unit intact, just to spite the German (though the northern unit may survive longer, it would be ultimately futile). We then have the superpowers of France/Germany and Egypt/Ukraine squaring up to each other, once this happens Italy will be squished in between. By the way, I *do* like how matters have been arranged so that when dislodged, John can retreat to Alsace or Picardy to do damage behind the lines in association with Britain. With her almost certain builds, we are also likely to see a Poland/Germany clash and Ukraine may like to team up with Poland rather than Egypt. One thing is sure to my mind. Ukraine cannot afford to team up with Poland *and* Egypt for any great length of time, as this would mean that the Ukraine becomes stuck behind two increasingly powerful neighbours (assuming that their campaign goes well). Sooner or later the Ukraine would have to wage war on one of these neighbours (in association with France/Germany) or risk becoming a handy target for a few extra SCs for a superpower. I'm probably being paranoid though. It's been a lousy day.
The Italian army in Paris retreats to Alsace. The Spanish fleet is disbanded, as Spain owns no SCs and any retreat cannot affect another power or gain an SC for Spain. The Russian units are disbanded, as Russia owns no SCs and any retreat cannot affect another power or gain an SC for Russia. For Spain and Russia the following tables will be as if a random retreat was made followed by a disband. The following table summarises the changing SC situation - this is not always the same as the number of adjusts!
The following table summarises the changing situation, detailing the number of units currently owned, the number of SC's and the number of available adjustments, after the number of free SCs has been considered. A positive adjust number means that builds are due, a negative number means that units are to be removed. Note, builds do not have to be taken, they can be waived - please send a waive order to the GM if you wish to do this. Also detailed are the number of SC's required to win (the win condition is 33 SC's).
The following table contains a game summary, broken down by power. The NMR/Late score are for the current player.

Russia writes the following end of game statement (typos uncorrected): well it seems that i have finally bitten the dust in the lovely world of perdita. i must say that the majority of th last two turns has been a form of forced Euthenasia. i didn't mind, i could see my demise and thought it best to hasten things up so my enemies could get a chance to die. Suzi also related the following missive to me (between Germany and Egypt). My dear Hair Hippie, you replied to my latest missive thusly: |
