The King Matti gets a D : **3 1 0**

**Hesse** : Neighbouring only one played and allied country, Hesse has been playing the SP game so far. But it didn't capitalize on that and only conquered three provinces. A slow start that will not help the Prince NilsLindenberg. This is a D : **1 2 1**

**Sweden** : Sweden benefitted from a very easy start with the Danish deal and it's subsequent suicide. However the war was long and painful, and he needed the help of Muscovy to win what should have been an easy war. This is why the King Pax deserves a D : **2 3 0**

**Lithuania** : The country was played by a sub on first session, and the diplo was made by the perm. This led to a very defavourable war against Poland, and the destruction of the country. But it made it's ennemies bled, and that is more than others can claim.

**Burgundy** : Burgundy tried to fight pre-emptively the frenchs but failled. Rather then trying to find a place in the Empire to strive, they decided to sell their southern holdings to France and form the Netherlands.
