So I think that despite Bob coming to a 4-way draw twice, and Chumbles only making it to a single 3-way draw, Chumbles still wins out for 4th place 0.67 vs 0.5?
Nice tourney, all.

Good game an congratulations to Mouse on the clear tournament victory!
I vaguely recall Dr. Recommended adding "Defeat BobRoss" to the PM with all the game links. I might have gotten too confident after my excellent streak in 7x7 FoW, as this tourney was mostly suffering for me haha. I failed to wrap my head around this variant, especially the importance of naval units on the rivers, and wasn't able to secure that many proper alliances. Almost everything went shite and i'm even quite glad that I made 2 draws at all.

I had the same problem as Bob in the tournament - I simply didn't work out the consequences of earlier choices as to what type of units to use where. I also had too many damned bouts of treatment causing lack of concentration at times and unconscionable delays waiting for a day when I wasn't under morphine, for which I apologise. I also have to apologise to Bob; a rarity I shall prize, for idiotically spurning his implied offer of alliance by going for Groningen instead of pressuring Leif and bolstering my S defence... not my finest moment.

Congrats mouse, this map has too many stalemate lines to pull a solo easily, and I couldn’t manage it in any of the three games I was strong in.
I did manage to live somehow in this game when you and chumbles were both assaulting me, but I think that is only because as Spain you have no way to build fleets to break the stalemate line I fell back to.
I botched a few tactical plays when I finally did turn and fight you, and thus failed to break your line.
Doc , it looked to me like you were playing for a draw at the end, and I assume the three vs 4 way draw made no difference to you, so there wasn’t going to be an opportunity to try to pit you against mouse in any scenario right?
