A tricky German opening. Adventurous, but risky
This just came to my mind and I was wondering if anyone had done it or seen it done before.

Now about the country switching. I am not sure about the procedures. I think we need a mod to help us out with it?

If it fails, we could just play 7 games and not require country switching; you'll get some more than once, but it would on average work out pretty close to right.

Can we agree not to ready orders before shuffling?
Celticfox (100 D(B))
04 May 12 UTC
I'll leave it be until everything is shuffled.
Gobbledydook (1389 D(B))
05 May 12 UTC
Don't ready orders; because after the countries are shifted around, your opponent can see what you had planned! Not that it makes much difference at this stage, but as games finish and we start to be able to figure out who is who, who knows.
ghug (5068 D(B))
05 May 12 UTC
More importantly, you won't notice the game if your orders are already ready, so you'll likely do something you don't want to do.
CSteinhardt (9560 D(B))
05 May 12 UTC
So we should ready really bad orders before the shuffle, is that what you're saying? :)
ghug (5068 D(B))
05 May 12 UTC
That's what I'll be doing, the rest of you are not permitted to do the same though.
CSteinhardt (9560 D(B))
05 May 12 UTC
How about we let the Austrians ready bad orders in each game, since otherwise Austria's too powerful in gunboat? :)
ghug (5068 D(B))
05 May 12 UTC
That's silly. Austria's got a good defensive position, but Turkey and France are definitely the strongest gunboat powers (see Vaft's stats).

Belgian Gambit
I've thought about opening with Belgian Gambit (Bre-Mid, Par-Pic, Mar-Bur) next time I draw France, particularly in a gunboat game. It seems to have a decent record with other players, and I've never used it myself... any thoughts on it?

my congratulations to whoever came up with this game name
gameID=87877
Every time a player enters this game's board, they will be reminded to do what is so essential in gunboats but no gunboat noobs ever do!
It is genius I tell you. And no I'm not ruining the anonymity of the game, I am not in this one since I so badly wanted to point out how awesome the name was.
