Ask, and ye shall receive....

Zig, I hadn't realized how badly beaten Carthage was for you.  Truely you 'deserve' that score then.  I think you are right about timing though.  If you can get the timing right of when to attack, perhaps that makes all the difference.  It would seem that those who had attacked Carthage earlier (Zig and Rish), kept him in check for the later game and made it easier to "finish him". 

Yeah I'm with Zone. Don't take a lack of submissions as a lack of interest! I played it up to like 1980 or something, so I was definitely interested. But once I saw Rish had it won in like the 1800s it became obvious that I was not a contender. It would've been a waste of my time to finish it out. I'm GLAD that Rish finished his quick and posted it! Saved me from wasting another chunk of time with a tedious long-drawn out struggle!
