Klaus wanted to wear our jersey for the very last time, but just read on inpaok.com that he is out of the squad as he flies to Israel tomorrow.
No replacement for him in the squad announced yet.
And to answer your last question: the extra spots for the big countries were taken from #11 and #12 but also from the qualifying-spots.
10 countries divide 24 sure entries in GS CL (16 of them for the top 4 countries). The other 45 countries of UEFA have the left-overs: 6 entries .........
Here are the new access lists for CL and EL, paokarag4.

#10 or higher goes directly in GS. Cupwinner also in GS.
#11 might also give access to GS as there is 99% chance that the winner of CL already qualifies for GS CL through the league, especially as the top 4 nations get 4 clubs in GS without qualifying.
First step is to reach #12 to secure the cupwinner in GS EL.
Yep and no. I have not played it in 20 years or so.
Saw a article today in our local paper. Two guys from Rotterdam and a suburb are portrayed as the WC starts today in Greece. Then I looked at the internet and saw it is in Evia. The players of stratego even have a forum. Looks like ours:
