Variant idea!
Every Spring, only fleets can move. Every Fall, only armies can move. Convoys are allowed in Fall, even if the fleets involved already moved in Spring.

What makes someone "good" at gunboat?
Is it a specific set of skills? Good strategy? Communicating? What makes someone like SplitDiplomat better at gunboat than MadMarx?

Does a player who left the game share in a draw?
I searched the rules and I didn't see anything. It says 'surviving' players. So if a player left, but still has SCs and units, is he a survivor?

Recruitment for Gunboat SOW - Summer 2015
Hello everyone!

I'm looking for TA's and Students for a Gunboat SOW. See inside.

The School of War represents an opportunity for both one-on-one learning as well as site-wide learning. 7 players who wish to take their Gunboat game to the next level (Students) will play a Gunboat game where they will receive one-on-one coaching by an experienced gunboat player (TAs) as well as regular lectures by the Professors, who can also answer non-leading questions from the peanut gallery of anyone following the game.

I already have two people who have offered to be professors (Chaqa and Yaleuec. I'm looking for 7 TAs and 7 students. Please PM or post here to show interest.

Please don't hesitate to post or PM questions about the School of War or the process.

This is a serious commitment; the game can run for multiple months, and certainly multiple weeks, and, between Chancellors, Professors, TAs, Students, etc, many many people involved and CD's/NMRs and other unsportsmanlike conduct will be taken very seriously. While extremely rewarding, please only commit if you can commit fully.

SOW Chancellor

P.S. The game will be semi-anon, and which TA is which country or with which student will be anonymous as well.

Dark, you have 40 CDs in 40 games and RR of 19. We don't have any set guidelines, but I'm looking for students who have demonstrated they can handle a multiple month daily commitment. Please consider returning to a future SOW once your RR has improved drastically.

While the phases are 48 H/phase, one should be communicating with the TAs regularly in addition to studying the board and ordering moves.

Would there be a specific start date or just whenever there are enough students/TAs for a game?
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
05 Jul 15 UTC
If I had to guess, the next Monday after we get 7 TA and 7 players and everyone is confirmed. Depends also on the Professors' schedules. I'd assume a 7/20 start date, but it's happened quicker in the past. Hard to guage interest while it's still Freedom Day

How long are the SoW turns going to be? If they're not 3+ days could I request that Spring 1901 Movement be a longer turn than usual or something? (Forced pause?)

Gunboat openings are crazy town with the no talking, and it's probably worth taking the time to let TAs and students properly discuss the various options for their country before letting the game start.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
06 Jul 15 UTC
SoW turns are 48 H/phase. TA/student pairings will be made before the game starts, so at least you can get all the general stuff out of the way.

Quick rules question
I'm a little unsure about how coasts affect support orders. Consider the following scenario: England has a fleet in Norway and a fleet in the Gulf of Bothnia. Even though the fleet in Gulf of Bothnia cannot move to StP's north coast, can it support Norway's move to StP's north coast?

Cops frequently lie in the course of their work to coerce 'confessions'...
And then we are expected to accept their testimony in court to vote guilty to convict someone and send them to prison. When should a career where lying is an integral part of the job disqualify someone's court testimony?
