Hi,

# 1 – Battles from the Bulge - 109 points

The Silver and Bronze go to :

# 2 – Gary Grigsby's war in the East - 88 points
# 3 – Decisive Campaigns - the Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris - 28
points

Congrats to the winners, they will get a mail / forum post from me
with the unique badge designed by Daniel Lamb.

The rest of the Top 10

I've now encrypted the Excel file and have send it to Mr. Beretta - as
soon as he acknowledges receiving it I'll ask Mr. Giftzwerg to
announce the lucky number so Mr. Beretta can announce who won a free
game from Slitherine.

Greetz,

The first reaction from the WitE forum is already in : "Only
Silver ????" and without any smileys. Typical :)

3 worthy winners - I voted for WITE but am perfectly happy to see BFTB
win - congrats to Dave and Panther for an outstanding achievment in
game design and programming. There were also some other wonderful
games published but with 3 choices they get missed but shouldn't be
forgotten.

Best wishes and thanks Eddy for taking the time out to run this.

A close race between first and second place, as it was expected. I refused
to keep count of the votes during the election because I wanted to be
surprised.

On a personal note, I woke up this morning to check up the Golden Globe
winners and I said "Wait a moment, we have our winners too!" :o)

I got the encrypted file. Waiting for the number (I'll be away from the
keyboard this evening, so expect the lucky draw to be announced tomorrow
morning GTM).

Not so fast :)

First Mr. Giftzwerg has to pick a number between 1 and 37

From the RandomInteger function at Wolfram-Alfa comes:

Twenty-nine (29).
