The official score is SC 9 vs 8 KNT, soon to be 13 vs 15.

Close war. My count has it 17-16 in favour of KNT (finished, or clearly decided with only cleanup remaining) and 8 games still too close to call.

Honestly thought SC would be stronger. Interested to see how it finishes.

KNT have been around a while and not really performed. I know a few of your players and they're solid, so I expect this to be close and SC to come out on top, but we shall see.

Hard to see which way this is going to go.... think the final score will be 21-20

Looks like SC (19) vs (20) KNT to me, with Conquer Rome and First Nations Americas undecided. Interesting.

Escalating Spoils on Eastern Hemisphere means that one may go either way. I think KNT is going to take it, 21-20.

Agreed, but assuming those with 4 cards have sets then I would expect you guys to win it. Guess it depends what you do.

Looks like M00NZIE came up 1 shy on the kill run, then with 3 turns in a row KNT took it. That may be the decided.

Antarctica and WWII Ardennes look like they will be SC wins, putting it back to 19-19.

HIVE is a KNT win, although it may be the last game to end. 19-20.

Conquer Rome is almost tipped enough to call, likely an SC victory. 20-20.

Which leaves FNA as the deciding game. Right now there is a big lead for KNT, but again it's escalating spoils so it could tip either way quite quickly. I stand by my earlier call of KNT winning 21-20, but 3 of these games are still tight. Could be SC winning 21-20, or could go all the way 23-18 KNT.

Since they took Eastern Hemisphere I think you're most likely correct.

The end of this war has become most interesting.

FNA hinges on the next couple of turns.

Antarctica, which 2 days ago looked like SC was well in the lead, has shifted back to KNT appearing to be in the lead.

The other 3 are still moving as predicted. SC will at least make 19.

So Close! KNT just need 1 win from the remaining 3 games to edge a victory!

Barring a miracle in Antarctica, they will have it. SC will take the other two so KNT will pick up the win 21-20.

Wow! 20 - 20 and Antarctica has tipped in our direction. What a finish!

Many thanks Chewie - nothing in it at all. You mirror our feelings exactly - thanks to you and your clan for such a close competition.
