'Admiral' Gunboat Competition

Even though I decided to organise a Gunboat competition, if it wasn't for those below, 'Admiral' couldn't have taken-off as it has.

You'll see below the names of those that I do want to thank. In addition to their names, you'll see a flag beside them & that states their nationality. So you know why they deserve my thanks, I've written a brief explanation plus the Diplomacy site that I think you can normally find them playing.

Thank You

Name	Nationality	Reason for the Thanks	Dip Site
Andy Scott		In 'Admiral' I, I was unaware of the number of players wishing to play & therefore the number of games to GM. Andy offered to GM & not play in the competition. We were able to bounce ideas of each other & one lead to him naming the games & giving a brief description of the Royal Navy Ships we used. He has continued to GM in all 'Admiral' Competitions.

Mike Dean		Prior to thinking of the name of the competition, I E-mailed Mike (Webmaster for Psychopath) to see if he was happy for me to use the site to host the Competition. He did agree & sadly if it wasn’t for the site to close, 'Admiral' would still be hosted on that site.	PsychoCon
