Game Notes:

1) Note John Power's new E-Mail address.

2) We're trying our new map this turn. Comments? Thanks to Dave Partridge for helping me out here. Remember that written moves above ALWAYS dominate map positions. I've already discovered that the lower right corner of the board is a little confusing, that scratched out line means that you can move between the Antarctic and Tahiti.

Press:

(LOUISIANA - VIRGINIA): No hostilities intended. You should be staying in place to gain the center. Just haven't heard from you in a while and wanted to cover against a slide into Florida.

(SPAIN - OTTO): Thanks for the kind words, but it's far from over. Always a pleasure and a challenge to cross swords with you though!

(RUSSIA-OTTOMAN): You had your day, and now you will PAY. How many fronts did you think that you could manage, anyway?

(PORTUGAL to AUSTRIA): Sorry, but I had to change sides in order to remain a factor in this game.

(PAUL to SEAN): You just noticed NOW that you were booted out of your home dots? Did you expect O/C to cover for you?

(RUSSIA to CHINA): Okay, and now what?

(SPAIN - NETHERLANDS): Happy hunting.
