Hi Vince!

I'm sorry the dice didn't give us a closer game -- since I can't think of

any outright errors in the game (though the North Atlantic on Turn 2 was a

bit risky along with the gamble in the North Sea on Turn 3). Of course,

once the Turn 2 U-Boat occured, it really influenced everything thereafter.

I wish you good fortune in the finals with Bruce. At the least, I hope for

an intense match (that will make for good commentary and watching on

Consinworld).

Thanks for a good, fast game!

John

--> Bruce & Nick -- here's final for my ladder game vs. Vince Meconi.
