PRESS:

Aus - All: OK, you've put up a pretty good 
barrier, looks like a stalemate to me unless 
David gives in to temptation in France. I can 
put up the shutters in the Med with my extra 
fleet, but I can only get one more build (in 
Turkey). I'm happy to call it a day there if 
you all are? It was fun, but I was never
likely to get an outright win.

Now, just which way to Alexandria?
