Congratulations to all of our winners and to all the other writers out there who also votes! I invite anyone to double-check my math (there were no PM submissions) to ensure fairness, but I am pretty sure I counted them all the second time I went through.

I will see everyone again October 1st for round 3 of this year's ACAs!

[coz1]

Great job running this round, Mr. C and I look forward to the next round to see if we can build some momentum. Looks like there was some good participation on which to build.

Thank you to those that voted for both Milan and Scotland. I appreciate the consideration, to be sure. And congrats to all the winners! It really does mean something to have your AAR suggested as a favorite whether it wins or not.

I can say from an historical look, that the voting numbers look slightly up this time around (Swert may have to give some time to his famous charts to truly find out ) but I remain a little disappointed that some ballots were only partially filled out (and I say this with a sure acknowledgment that I only partially voted in AoD.) Next time out, those who vote might consider trying to reach out to other forums a bit more. Time and interest is always a consideration. But it is wonderful to see so many jump in and name their favorites...some 4 years after the start of this initiative and with several taking up the (sometimes frustrating) charge of running it.

Thanks again Mr. C!

EU, Game Play:
Can Qasim into space? - a Qasim Khanate AAR by Serbian Knight (with 5 votes)

But anyways, thanks to everyone who voted for my AAR, and congratulations to all of the winners! And thank you Mr. Capiatlist for running these fine awards.
