Where's Nappy? ...

The ten games played in the two heats, semi and final split right down the line with five French and five Allied victories. Of those, the French South won two, French North three, Britain three and Spain two.

Two of those games were particularly close, one coming down to a half-point difference between the two sides in a game that went the distance all the way to the end of 1814. There were three runaway victories, including a rare liberation of Spain and an even more rare conquest of Portugal -- orchestrated by Ed Rothenburg setting it up for his ally Henry Russell to complete and claim the victory, which they gained in a conquest completed in the middle of the first turn, earning that contest the prize for shortest Wellington game of any convention.

 

Henry Russell, Pat Duffy, Francis Czawlytko, and Jesse Boomer partition Spain.

The Final protagonists. Pete Reese has made the Final all three years and has yet to win.
