Hello everyone,
Please use this thread to post your best Diplomacy Resources. Links to strategies, video analysis of games, wiki's about the game or anything others may find useful. Every once in a while we will move all the resources into this main post to make this easy to read.

(You can turn it into a sandbox when using a computer. To clear the map and build your own scenario, click the "Clear board" hyperlink under "Other:" and then drag and drop the units from the white box to wherever you want them. To come back to a scenario you've created, copy the Permalink to the right of the board.)
The Diplomacy-Archive (a great site with strategy guides and much more): http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/
The Diplomatic Pouch (another such site): http://diplom.org/
(Most of its content is accessible from the Diplomacy-Archive. However, since The Diplomatic Pouch is now off-line, you will have to copy and paste URL's you find into the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.)
