if two of my own units attack another one of my own units (unit C), normally, this would be impossible. But what would happen if two enemy units attack that same unit C? Would unit C be forced to retreat of disband and would there be a stand off? Or would no unit move at all? Or perhaps unit C would be disbanded and the enemy would just control the territory that used to be controlled by unit C?

Sorry for the frivolous post, but I had to show off this game;

Impossible in official rules, of course, but perfectly possible on phpDip.

Found a new bug I think. I am trying to move one army directly from A to B. At the same time, I am convoying an army from B through C to A. This set of moves should work unless interupted by an attack. Unfortunately everything bounced and gamemaster claimed the two units tried to engage headon.

... with message due now for more than an hour now

I am playing as France. I have 5 supply centers and only 4 units, the phase asked me to update by adding 2 units, I entered 2 build orders but only one was created.

In the game 'Diplo :)' I was attcking Portugal from MAO & supported it with army from Spain. There was no way Spain could have been supported & also support couldn't have been cut (as attacking force was MAO & there were no other enemy units around Spain except Portugal itself, which was attacked, so it couldn't cut support).

The log stated that:

08:40 AM Autumn 1913, Diplomacy: Your army at Spain successfully supported the fleet at Mid-Atlantic Ocean move to Portugal.
08:40 AM Autumn 1913, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Mid-Atlantic Ocean moving into Portugal recieved move support from the army at Spain.
08:40 AM Autumn 1913, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Mid-Atlantic Ocean engaged the fleet at Portugal head on; both units were equally matched so there was a stand off.

The last message doesn't make any sence... can anyone help?

Last night I spent more than an hour trying to give my orders in time. The game went so slow that it took me that long and I only made it just in time (like a minute or so). Anyway, last night was Spring. Today I log in and expect it to be autumn, but it is Spring the next year... This is what my GameMaster chat said:

08:39 AM Spring 1911, Diplomacy: Your army at Vienna was attacked by the army at Galicia, but sucessfully defended.
11:15 AM Autumn 1911, Diplomacy: Nothing happened involving your units in this phase.

What happened to Autumn?! Why did it take Spring 1911 that long to complete (because last night it allready said "due now") and why did Autumn end after only 1 hour and a half?

at the extreme lower left of a map page, there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point --- the "details" aare:

I've nearly one this game, though I should have one it last turn. I was and still am at 17 units because one of my support move commands worked, and I got Berlin out of that. Otherwise, I attempted to hit Edinburgh with support move but it didn't work, I also sought after to stop Austria from taking my Constantinople with support from the Aegean and Bulgaria though that didn't work either.


Autumn 1910, Diplomacy: Your army at Silesia moving into Berlin recieved move support from the army at Prussia.
02:46 PM Autumn 1910, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Yorkshire attempted to move into Edinburgh but there was a stalemate.
02:46 PM Autumn 1910, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Clyde attempted to move into Edinburgh but there was a stalemate.
02:46 PM Autumn 1910, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Aegean Sea attempted to move into Constantinople but there was a stalemate.
02:46 PM Autumn 1910, Diplomacy: Your army at Bulgaria attempted to move into Constantinople but there was a stalemate.
02:46 PM Autumn 1910, Diplomacy: Your army at Silesia sucessfully defeated the fleet and moved into Berlin.
02:46 PM Autumn 1910, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Ankara was attacked by the army at Armenia, but sucessfully defended.

Going through my games I just experienced that my build in STP which was ordered & finalized before the 'STP coast bug' fix, was changed to something which was 'You don't want to make any builds this turn' or smth..

So apparently the change in the program didn't know which coast I intend to place my fleet & changed it to 'no build at all'. So You should look through Your games where You ordered fleets in STP within last 24 hours!

In one of my games, I ordered A Bul-Gre and A Ser S A Bul-Gre. Somehow, though, the Turkish army in Greece ended up in Bulgaria, with my army destroyed. And it could have only had one support for its move-Constantinaple. So why didn't those moves bounce?

...that's meaning what? I can not enter to one of my games - abovementioned error message is dispalyed...

In the game 'Randomness' I should be able to create 3 new units. I have selected new units & specified the locations, but there is no 'finalize' button & I thus I can not finalize my unit creation orders....

I hope this 43 hour till next stage thing is only tepmorary

Hi there, our game (The Faht Game) hasn't progressed out of the retreats phase, even though all players have had their moves in for more than 12 hours or so.
Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Dreamhost is having some tech problems at the moment, and the site is very slow as a result, hopefully they'll sort it out soon

All too often in the games i'm in when someone starts losing, sometimes after the loss of just 1 home centre, they completely give up. This can seriously detract from the fun and spirit of the game, so can people please post their advive on how to defend for those who are seemingly incapable of doing so

Seems the IP system may not be working, as a friend of mine recently got banned for having multiple accounts on an IP. Actually, there's two friends running off one connection. Any way to resolve this?

In the game "Last stand" I got these messages last turn:

12:56 AM Autumn 1911, Diplomacy: Your army at Warsaw couldn't support a stand by the army at Galicia, because the army at Galicia tried to move
12:56 AM Autumn 1911, Diplomacy: Your army at Galicia recieved stand support from the army at Warsaw, but couldn't accept it because your army at Warsaw tried to move

=> Since when did it change? and why did it change? I used to be able to order unit A to give hold support to unit B which had been ordered to move, so that unit B would have been succesfully supported in case of an attack by my enemies... In this specific case, there used to be no problem with my hold support from Warsaw to Galicia even though I ordered Galicia to move.

In the game 'The Great Powers', I captured Trieste with Serbia. The army in Serbia had nowhere to retreat, but now it is in Serbia. How is this possible?

I'm making a role playing game on its own forum with Europe and such, though I need a map. I really like the map here with the divided land and I'd like to have a copy of it, just without the units and such. If you could do this, thank you, very much. If not, oh well.. there's always photoshop.

Dear friends, i wont be here for 2 or 3 weeks i dont know...Thnks to my allies till now ;)...possibly i will be in civil disorder...good luck everyone...

Hello!
A new game called Randomness been created. All players are welcome, so feel free to join.

To me, Austria seems impossible to play as... has anyone ever won as Austria here?

Hi, the game TKS_06 is stuck in the Diplomacy Phase, everyone has finalized his orders, but the game does not continue

The game WWII seems to be stuck in the retreat phase. Everyone has submitted orders but nothing is happening.

What is AJAX?

I'm starting a game aptly named Tournament for all those interested, the Tournament will be three games long and at the end a winner will be decided, the first game is free but the following will be passworded. Scoring will simply be each players units total added up from the three games with the highest total winning. PLEASE if you join be prepared to play all three games. I can't promise the winner anything more prestigious than a special message on the Forum!!

Is it just me not having played many endgames, or does messaging almost completely dry up after the first few years of play?
