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.
