LB Kruijswijk test cases and new Diplomacy judge
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2023 7:58 pm
I'm developing an automated Diplomacy board to work on Windows as an interesting project. When finished it should help with exploring the consequences of different move options.
I've got the move judge just about finished but wanted to try it on the various test cases out there. All the links I have found to the Kruijswijk test cases don't work, I just get the message that the site can't be reached. Has anyone got a copy?
Also there is a lot of coverage of the various convoy paradox issues. However has anyone come across any paradoxes caused by the rule that states that a dislodged unit cannot cut a support. To see whether a unit is dislodged you first have to see the strength of the attack which may well be affected by cut supports. Clearly this is fairly clear if the unit would be dislodged in all cases but becomes more interesting if the dislodge of a unit is dependent on a support not being cut. However I haven't found a situation which caused a paradox but just that you need to be careful about the order in which moves are evaluated. I just wondered what everyone else had found?
