Aww, thanks!
It's pretty ironic actually, on two counts. The first, and lesser count, is that I get this award in the very weekend that I actually do away with the character for which this was awarded.
Second irony is that I never intended to write a character in the first place. My AAR was much more about Italian strategy than specifically about Mussolini or his part in it, except for the very beginning in which his part in shaping the general contours of Italian strategy was outlined. However, as I was effectively playing Mussolini and controlling everything, the strategizing became infused with his character, as it was also my character.
Damnit, now I'm going to have to find time to do some reading for my successor.
