We have a winner!

France takes a massive 6 centres in one year to achieve a stunning solo! 18 centres and all of the tournament points.

England (13 centres) loses Belgium, but Turkey bears the brunt of French attacks, losing Rumania, Bulgaria and Smyrna to end up with 2 centres. Italy drags himself over the line, having lost Trieste in the Spring and Naples this turn but getting Venice back - 1 centre.

Austria didn't quite make it to the end of the game and Russia and Germany were eliminated before.

A good game to GM, you pretty much all got your orders in early when you could, and I had only one (and not particularly important) NMR all through. So thanks for taking part, and for that dramatic ending. A solo before a draw could even be voted on!
