Re: What's the deal with Austria?

what austria offers to their ally is the ability to pivot to the other side of the map. austria can build in the center of the map. personally, i think a austria/russia alliance is much more terrifying than a russia/turkey alliance.

So many re-entries. COVID is great for Diplomacy, I guess.
That would explain why my rank dropped 34 spots without any new games.

Re: Shared wins?

In diplomacy, if one person wins, everyone else loses. But there are other reasons to throw a solo to someone else. E.g. you're gonna die anyway, all the other players piss you off, etc.

Re: any mods around?

okay good to know, thanks. it turns out, the game eventually ended when the player who forgot to vote draw was ejected for missed turns.

Re: Can I use the same convoy for two armies?

I'll add that you need to order your fleet to convoy the army, in addition to ordering the army to move.

Re: suggstion

be aware that there are some graphical bugs on the preview map. mostly involving coasts. e.g. Swe supports StP south coast to GoB; StP to GoB; will show a grey line indicating that the support is not accompanied by the corresponding move.

Re: Starting positions

As others have pointed out, England is significantly hampered by F StP nc or even A StP. But England can still force Norway if Russia doesn't move Mos-StP. If England can convince Austria to arrange a bounce in Gal, Russia is less likely to hold Norway in the fall. If I were the Austrian player, cha...

Re: The Anti-France Meta

As France, I'm partial to the zig/zag opening. Bre-MAO; Par-Bur/Gas; Mar-Gas/Bur. It guards Bur, and being able to self-bounce in Bre is nice. The threat of a self-bounce is a deterrent in itself. I once snagged got a three build start with England in the channel. England and Germany supported the o...
