I build A Swi, and use it to support hold every other unit on the board, as per the Geneva Ruleset (1999), which is commonly accepted in all AC variations as the Standard of Swiss Movement. Under the same ruleset, my unit gains +5 strength and +5 movement for each support hold it issues, meaning it can now move 26 provinces in a turn and any attack on it needs 26 supports for a successful dislodgement.

It also disbands at the end of my turn under Rule 33B (Swiss Neutrality).

A Sval forages.

I'll start fleet Constantinople south coast. I order fleet con convoys Clyde to Ankara

Since we're playing with the Voordorp rules, I shall start my turn by building Wing Pacific Ocean (off board as required for late entries). I support Fleet Con Convoy Clyde To Ankara (WITHOUT CRESCENT).

Fleet Sar recruits an Admiral. *fingers crossed for Garibaldi*

Marseilles holds.

Pardoned my asking but what is Ankara Crescent?

going for the westward porcupine, and fleet Caspian Sea moves to Damascus

What is Ankara Crescent? Many have asked, and none can truly answer. It is an ineffable game, involving Ankara, and sometimes a Crescent.

23rd?

An quandary inside an enigma, you may need Google.

I raise THE English Channel submersible flotilla pen per addendum 12 of the 1962 OCC.

"Pardoned my asking but what is Ankara Crescent?"

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue.

I win

...And that's the game! GGWP all, and congrats to Guak for one of the hardest fought victories I've ever seen.

Shall we continue and play for second?

Is this PPSC?

Under the 1998 edition of the 1972 rules, which we are using, Ankara Crescent is generally played under APPSC, a scoring system which takes PPSC to its logical conclusion. Advanced Points Per Supply Centre distributes points according to how much each player helped the soloing power to solo. The winner gets nothing, but somebody who, for example, supported the winner into 8 of their own SCs will get a significant portion of the pot.

However, the Voordorp rules contradict this and insist another scoring system is used, where all points are split evenly between any players with Dutch heritage, regardless of the outcome of the game. Since the Voordorp rules are more recent, the priority order states that it should be used in the event of a contradiction, so this is the scoring system we will use.

People assume that I am Dutch all the time, so I demand a share!

@Happyplayer

Sorry, I was not very helpful earlier. Checking my bookshelves I found a copy of Ankara Crescent: Rules and Origins by NF Stovold. It is quite old and may be out of print but perhaps your local second-hand bookshop can help.

Let me just put in my vote to beat you guys to the tiebreaker.

##EINSTEIN

Doesn't two ## make it negative?

That's why he only used one ##.

Pedant

Look, if we're abiding by the Voordorp rules, one is required to be a pedant.

Also is someone who knows the rules gonna adjudicate? I need to know if Fleet Con Convoy Clyde To Ankara (WITHOUT CRESCENT) worked, so I can make orders for next season.

I mean, we all know @guak won, but we gotta play on for second.

Remember it's conference session so all starting positions must be a lie unless you are seeking to be elected leader, in which case all starting positions must be a big lie.

I'll start in Wales (not really).

HappyPlayer - Anakara Crescent is a lifetime to learn and a minute to master.
