<p>Yes, <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/article/3963217#3963217">someone on BoardGameGeek pointed out that apparent error as well</a>. I cannot now say whether that actually happened during the game and was allowed to stand, or whether it's a result of an edit I made. </p>

<p>I am happy to let it remain in the video for the purpose of narrative clarity, so long as no wiseacre tries using the episode as a rules arbiter in the future!</p><br /><br />

Hey. Excellent video. One issue i noticed is that in spring 1904, that English fleet couldn't have moved from St Pete to Bothnia Sea as Both Sea borders the southern coast of St. Pete. (not the northern one from which she entered). I don't know if this would have changed the course of the game, but you may want to let the other players know that England may have won on a bad call from the officials. :-)</p><br /><br />

<p>Perhaps you might consider a more neutral title for the "ego inflation" section -- something like "cast & crew".  Also, I might spell out the full names of people there (there are many Lee's and Joe's in this world).  </p><br /><br />
