Practise Orders?

[Standard_Monarch_4]

Hi all,

Given the lack of face to face Diplomacy options, I want to use some of this lockdown time to practise resolving orders so that I can be quicker and less stressed when we return to playing. Are there any resources for this?

Cheers.

I'm not sure exactly what it is you are looking for format-wise. If you are looking for a diplomacy sandbox, Backstabbr is the place to go. Webdip is great, but we don't have a sandbox as of yet. If you are looking for a comprehensive guide to rules and how to adjudicate complex scenarios, studying the DATC would probably help you in resolving orders. If you just want practice in putting in lots of orders and playing lots of games to see how things shape up, creating a bot game will get you lots of moves quickly (the bots put in orders instantaneously).
Hopefully one of these things is helpful, but if you are looking for something else, let us know exactly what it is you are looking for and we could probably answer your question a bit better.

jDip is a pretty good sandbox, better than what's available online, I'd say

Thanks for the responses. What I'm looking for us a way to see orders (but not their results), and then to see the results later so I can check what I've done. It seems that sandbox will meet that desire, and it's something I hadn't thought of, so thank you.

Here's the sandbox I use: http://gamesbyemail.com/Games/Politics/Judge

Click "clear board" and drag units to where you want them, then give them orders.
