I have my doubts that your prediction is correct. I have not studied
the map.
Glancing at the results I noticed that I could have ended the game this
last turn. But even if I had guessed all the moves that were made, I
made two promises that were important to keep.
Can someone explain to me why the bounce in Kiel occurred? I know that
it kept the Russian fleet out, but it seemed quite a risk to the units
in Munich and Berlin, with little benefit?
My adjustments are in. While the debate occurs on the others, I can
focus on some home things. If anyone needs French input let me know. I
would be happen to help you choose adjustments :-)

That's a nice looking gang you had there, Doug. I haven't played
face-to-face myself in over 15 years, but we have a game lined up at my
house on January 12. Karlis Povisils, who has never played face-to-face is
dropping by! I'm rather nervous about the event.

First, a fair warning: Karlis is reading these broadcasts
as an observer to this game.
FTF is a strange animal. The killer for me is actually writing my
orders correctly. The first time I played FTF, I misordered in each
of the first four years. How embarassing. As Jim Burgess pointed
out, you get used to the Judge mechanism pointing out mistakes and
it becomes a crutch. Then when you actually have to write out each
move, convoy and support, it's so easy to make a mistake.
Just before handing in orders, I ask myself, out loud: "Are these orders
legal?" I check each one letter for letter, then hand them in. I
catch *so many* mistakes that way.
Secondly, FTF moves so much faster. You barely have time to discuss
tactics -- hell, you barely have time to think about them! I'm so
used to poring over a board and coming up with the perfect moves. In
FTF, I just try to make *legal* moves. :-)
So I think FTF experience is far more important than tactical skill.
Which means you're right to be nervous. :-)
Who else is playing?

The others are locals. Our mathematics department hired four new Ph.D.s
this past fall. Two of them, and the husband of a third, have played
before. Only Karlis and I have played e-Diplomacy.
