THE MALITZ TROPHY COMPETITION

[PoorOldSpike]

On behalf of the Great State of Florida, I demand a recount!!

You certainly had bad luck mate and I'm partly responsible for it by suggesting a ceasefire, but you beat me anyway..:)
I assumed before you agreed to one that you'd get your units into final position near the flags before hitting the ceasefire button, but you hit it before you'd done that, and as a result your infantry were still in mid-ford and a bit too far away from a small flag to capture it and it ended in a draw (in ladder terms. But you still beat me in Malitz terms)
Owning the flag would have got you a minor ladder win at least.
We both learnt a lot from that episode, namely that before agreeing to a ceasefire we should make sure our units are in flag-control positions, and only THEN hit the button.
My fault of course for not reminding you at the time..
Here's the endgame pic to illustrate it for everybody, your group of Russki inf are wading the river at top left near a small flag but are not quite near enough to turn it red. I've got a single squad in woods near it,so it stays neutral.
