Bumping for interest, I'll start a roundup thread in Strategy this weekend to discuss the results.

I'll sort the rows later, but that's harder to do on my phone.

As Claesar reported, Flight A has finished!

Game 4 has ended in a three-way draw between France, Italy, and Turkey. https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?game ... #gamePanel
Game 6 has ended in three-way draw between England, Turkey, and Russia. https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?game ... #gamePanel

Congrats to all the participants!

I think I'm going to write something about this series and possible meta implications.
That FIT draw is just beautiful.

I didn't follow this too closely but my own personal experience in Gunboats lately is that Austria, Germany, and Turkey have been performing very well. I think France has been performing quite poorly.

Caveat that we're not even done with the series yet, the following commentary only reflects finished games, and even once we finish this is only a sample size of seven...

Germany's performance has been incredible. It's averaging a 12-SC finish while the remaining six countries have a combined average of roughly 4 SCs, has the only solo, and only failed to convert one performance of those finished so far into a win or draw.

It's interesting to try to discern the impact of this dominance. Turkey is the best of the next group of performers, with a respectable 7-SC average; this makes sense to me given that Turkey is the only power that's meaningfully distant from Germany. Rounding out the middle tier is England, Russia, and Austria; Russia got its results from a great game by Matticus involving a rare German defeat, England got its results from allying Germany in two successful finishes, and Austria split the difference (which makes sense as a power that can be a natural ally to Germany but can also end up a formidable lategame rival). France's nightmarish performance can reasonably be attributed to German dominance and the persistence of an E/G metagame.
Italy's performance surprises me a bit, but if you consider that Germany's dominance has resulted in a weak Russia and thus a strong Turkey or Austria, Italy doesn't actually benefit very much from German dominance here--only in the context that it prevents French dominance, but replacing French masters for German ones doesn't help very much.

I'll save policy prescriptions until all seven games are finished, in the spirit of not influencing ongoing games in which I'm a participant, but this has gotten me thinking.
