Attendance was, of course, down from last year's record turnout as we followed our biggest ever event with our smallest, but the play
was as exciting as it has ever been, with some new faces mixed in amongst the old.

This year's award winners were:

HAMMERED AWARD - Derek Harmon
Despite his best effort and his honest face he was eliminated in each of the three rounds, in '04, '05, and '06 respectively.

GOLDEN BLADE - Brian Lee
In round 2, playing Austria, Brian captured all three Italian home supply centers in one turn.
