[eia] completed game

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxx>]

    I hate to think of our previous game as unfinished.  So instead, let's think of it as a completed 1805-1807 campaign!  :-)  (With the exception of Austria's Dec. 1807 land phase, we did complete that campaign.)
    Let's take everyone's bids and multiply them by 12/44.  (I'm rounding up to ensure that I get positive whole numbers for all bids.)  That leaves Everett with a bid of 5 for Austria, Danny with a bid of 2 for Spain, Joel with a bid of 1 for Turkey, JJ with a bid of 12 for GB, me with a bid of 12 for France, Jim with a bid of 3 for Prussia, and Mike with a bid of 10 for Russia.  With these bids, the required totals would have been:

Austria:  110 + 5 = 115.
France:  130 + 12 = 142.
GB: 105 + 12 = 117.
Prussia:  85 + 3 = 88.
Russia:  115 + 10 = 125.
Spain:  85 + 2 = 87.
Turkey:  100 + 1 = 101.

When total manpower is included our final totals would have been:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Country, Manpower + Victory Points = Total,  Percentage of Goal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Austria,   (24+ 7)   +   74   =   105,   105/115 = 91.3%
France,   (30 + 7)  +   96   =   133,   133/142 = 93.6%
GB,        (16 + 3)  +   99   =   118,   118/117 = 100.8%  (Winner!)
Prussia,  (15 + 5)  +   91   =   111,   111/88 = 126.1%  (Winner!)
Russia,   (35 + 0)  +   91   =   126,   126/125 = 100.8%  (Winner!)
Spain,     (14 + 8)  +   92   =   114,   114/87 = 131.0%  (Winner!)
Turkey,    (5 + 0)   +   91   =   96,     96/101 = 95.0%

    So congratulations to JJ and Mike for meeting the expectations that the designers had for control of their countries, and special congratulations to Jim and Danny who *far* surpassed the expectations that the designers had for control of their countries in a 3 year game.  Well done!

    Ok, now I feel better about starting a new game.  :-)
