Techno
I've been out of the techno world for many years now and I have been itching to hear some of the latest good stuff. I don't know how the terms have changed from when I listened to it but generally I'm an ambiance and progressive trance lover. My favorite from back in the day was Aphex Twin and I had good times with DJ Tiesto's Sunrise series, preferably 2 towards the end of my techno culture.

"School of War" Game II
thought it best to start a new thread. please reply to confirm participation (if already named) and/or to show interest.

this is a WTA game with 40 hour phases and 5 point buy in; the goal of the game is to improve the skills of players, particularly newer ones, with in-game advice and commentary on the game from non-players.

Suggestion for Update
Why don't you allow the original make phase to be different from the length of the phases in the game? This would essentially allow a longer time for people joining shorter games.

Seems simple enough to code, and it would certainly come in useful for the "less desirable" mods, or high point games.

Possible bug in the game
Please mod-s look at the game http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=11143

In this game fleet in Gascnony supported hold for fleet in Spanish SC - is this possible by the rules?
spyman (424 D(G))
10 Jun 09 UTC
From the 2000 rules:
A fleet that can move to a province with two separate coasts (a fleet in the Mid-Atlantic, for example) can suport another Army or Fleet into that province (in this case Spain), without regards to separte coastlines.
spyman (424 D(G))
10 Jun 09 UTC
Just in case that is not clear enough. A couple of lines earlier in the rules it says this:

The province to which a unit is providing support must be one to which the supporting unit could have legally moved during that turn.

Therefore: since the fleet in Gascony could legally move to Spain it may provide support there. It can do this because the fleet in Spain SC is "considered to be occupying the entire province.

Captain Dave (113 D)
10 Jun 09 UTC
BUT, the fleet in Spain SC would NOT be able to support hold the unit in Gascony.
Rait (10151 D(S))
10 Jun 09 UTC
spyman, I don't think You are correct - fleet in Gascony can't legally move from Gascony to Spanish SC
Rait (10151 D(S))
10 Jun 09 UTC
it would be different story if there was a army in Gascony...
diplomat61 (223 D)
10 Jun 09 UTC
@Rait: Spyman is correct, the key word in the rule is PROVINCE.

F Gas can legally move to the province of Spain, albeit a different coast, so can support a unit there. Whereas F Spa (sc) cannot move to Gas so may not return the favour.
spyman (424 D(G))
10 Jun 09 UTC
@Captain Dave "BUT, the fleet in Spain SC would NOT be able to support hold the unit in Gascony."

No it would not be able to because it could not have legally moved to Gascony during that turn. However, the fleet in Gascony can legally move to Spain; and even though it can only move to the north coast, if it did it would still be "occupying the whole province"; thus it may support an attack upon Spain.
thewonderllama (100 D)
10 Jun 09 UTC
Rait, spyman is correct. The ability to support a province (the key word here) is determined by whether or not the unit in question can move to it. It helps if you think of it as supporting a hold at or an attack on the province, not supporting a unit.

yea, i agree with spyman
Alderian (2425 D(S))

Think beyond the board, think in terms of the units and the countries. Imagine one fleet trying to enter Spain through the southern coast. Imagine an army there trying to defend Spain. Then imagine the fleet in Gascony causing problems in another part of Spain. The army in Spain has to deal with that too and is overwhelmed and run out of the country.

These rules are easier to understand if with a little imagery. At least for me.
kestasjk (99 DMod(P))

Yup it's the corrent behavior, another that catches people out is that if you do Portugal -> Spain(nc) and Spain(sc)->Portugal you get a head-on collision

Internally coasts are discarded once orders have been finalized, coasts affect which orders can be chosen but don't come into play in actual adjudication (if that helps your understanding)

hey kestas. could you take a look at "Suspected multi based on a weird post..."? me and Warlord are accused of being a multi account, but we aren't, so can you clear our names please? thx.

Quite hypocritically, I'm going to ask a question about rules
This is hypocritical because I normally suggest to people to download jDip to adjudicate moves, but it won't let me enter this as a valid order, because it isn't. That being said, this site will allow you to finalize like this, I've tested it.

What happens if you order two builds in the same spot? What if its two armies? An army and a fleet?
