Au155 GAME WIN!!

Au155 - our longest running Austerlitz game ever has finally ended on July 1825 after an amazing 734 battles.  The last few game years was fought out between 2 great alliances - Spain (Gerry Elliott), France (Chris Cornwell) and Naples (Brendan Brown) against Morocco (Mark Phillips), Russia (Juha Niininen), Sweden (Stu Watts) and Duchy of Warsaw (Mike Byrne).  The latter being victorious after a great contest.

It is estimated this game ran for over 8 years realtime, starting way back in year 2000 and running 210 turns.  Stu Watts (Sweden) and Mike Byrne (Warsaw) were in the original start up and played every turn.  It was only fitting that these 2 guys along with Mark Phillips as Morocco were declared the winners.

The end game maps have been posted on our forums to let you see how Europe looks after 17 years of warfare.

Thanks for a terrific game guys!!

It allows an emperor to play with builds and finances without all the number crunching and human error, a change of mind is as difficult as pressing a button. Other features include;

Economics - estimates food production and displays trend on a graph (helps stop starvation), highlights raw material shortcomings for producing EcPts and Textiles. Also has a wine usage graph for those drunken sailors.
