It’s a toss-up as to which was more impressive last night: Nate Cockerill’s stylish beret and disturbing Hangover t-shirt or the way he dominated Game No. 115 as Russia. For a second straight Wednesday, the Weasels were at Guthrie’s Tavern for Diplomacy. This time eight of us showed up, including new player Lauren Norris, a co-worker of longtime Guthrie’s players John Susoreny and Michael Martinez, both of whom hadn’t played in a long time–since December and March, respectively.

The game ended by time limit after the Fall 1906 turn with the following center counts:
The supply center chart is here. Now let’s hear from the players. And let’s all hope for a good turnout at tonight’s game at Ballydoyle in Downers Grove.
