'Admiral' Gunboat Competition III

July Update

This will be a brief Monthly Update as once written, I'm off to bed & tomorrow, sorry later today, we're off to the Lake District. To those what don't know, very heavy rainfalls have hit certain areas of Britain & sadly, a small number of deaths have happened. I haven't heard about the rain in the Lake District but on Friday we did get a letter from the caravan park & they did state that certain areas of the park are quite wet & they suggested we took waterproof clothes. Again, to those that don't know, the Lake District is in Cumbria, which is the most northerly western county in England. The two counties above Cumbria are 'Dumfries and Galloway' & 'Scottish Borders'. I think the name of one of them gives away their country. No, not Wales.

To the games & as you'll see a good number have finished. To all players PLEASE write an End Game Statement (EGS) & send it to your GM. As perhaps written before, only a few lines can do but thank your GMs as you'll know that GMs don't earn an income & only spend their time helping you by GMing.

If you're allowed to see different colours within the text, anything in green is a game that has changed since the last Monthly Update.

Austria-Hungary & England go through. In this game there might be a slight change. The Austrian-Hungary player did write to both Kester & myself. In his e-mail he did state that for non-Diplomacy things he'll have to resign from the rest of the Competition. I'm hoping that between now & then he'll be able to play in the Semis but if not, Russia in Chanzy will go through not Germany in Pisa.
