Hey the genius who created this game here...

http://www.freewebs.com/hiimme333html/factions.png

obviously never thought about sleeping so it would awesome if even though almost every member of this game will be CD'd sometime in the next 8-10 hours that you please dont take over one of those nations

See this picture in a game we are playing

As You can see Italy lost Mar since Gas+Bur->Mar although
Support from GOL did not help since Spain attacked GOL, but then Spain was attacked by WMS. As I have read the rules the attack from WMS -> Spain should have disrupted Spain->GOL and therefore GOL support Mar should have ended in Mar still being Italian!!! We is it not so??? Something wrong in the DATC or have I misinterpreted the rules?

Here is a list of powers in the factions that i think will probably be involved in the war. Feel free to comment.

Say there's an English army in Norway in fall, and it's attacked by Russia from Sweden with support from Finland. Could it retreat into St Petersburg (assuming it was empty) and would England then gain St Petersburg as an SC?

The Holes in the Cheese [1] has an 11SC turkey available. please hurry; the game is going horribly without someone there.

If someone stabs you do you remember it and look to stab them back in a later game? Or just play the board? Discuss

If there is an empty province that two armies try to move to they both bounce. If one of those armies is dislodged can it retreat to the empty province?

Eg Brest and Burgundy both try to move to Paris but fail. Brest is dislodged by an attack from EC and MAO, can it then retreat to Paris?

What are the default rules if a unit is required to retreat, but no orders are entered. For example Russian A-RUM has been dislodged by Turkey and the two unoccupied adjacent territories are BUD (currently under Austrian control) and SEV (currently under Russian control), where will the Russian army go by default?

"Lib Dems headed for government"

Clegg can't half tell a good joke, can he?

Will Gordy still be PM by the time this thread drops off the bottom?

If you support hold a unit with 2 or more units and there is only one unit attacking it, can the unit which is being attacked still support another?

In other words, if enough units support hold a unit, (even if it's being attacked) can they in a way cancel out the attacks on it, or is it simply a case of it a unit is attacked (no matter how much support it has), it can't help another.

Turkey has three fleets, greece, aegeon sea and eastern med. Italy has three fleets, albania, ionian sea and naples.
Italy Ion to aeg, naples to ion, alb to gre.
Turkey East Med to Ion, greece hold, aeg support east med to ionian sea.

How did east med get through and force Ion to retreat, as it cut east med's support by attacking aeg sea and should have bounced with naples-ion?

The moves are recorded history moves by the way there was no errors in submitting orders.

I never thought much about why people went into CD. I always assumed something came up in their lives, or they were a newbie and decided Diplomacy was not for them.

So I recently ran into the same opponent in two different games. When one game started going badly for him, he just stopped entering moves. He still had 4 centers, and probably could have salvaged something, but he just abandoned the game.

The other game, which is going better for him, he kept playing and is still playing.

Thoughts?

Is technically against the rules. Does anyone actually follow that rule here? I've noticed, especially during games with long turn times, that many people will try to conduct diplomacy during that time without finalizing their orders.

Discuss.

A game with Edi Birsan...

AS it says in the subject...

That's the game name. Come on, join.

can a fleet move from a nc, to a sc?

Scenario:

the players and positions (all units are armies)

Germany occupies Ruhr and Berlin. Kiel and Silesia are vacant.
France occupies Belgium and Munich.
England occupies Holland and Denmark.
Austria occupies Tyrolia, Bohemia and Vienna

The play:

Germany attacks Kiel from Berlin with support from Ruhr and with English support from either Holland or Denmark or both.
Austria attacks Munich from Tyrolia with support from Bohemia.

Because of its support, Germany secures Kiel (which was formerly empty).
Because of its support, Austria secures Munich. The unit in Munich is obliged to retreat.

THE QUESTION: Can the unit formerly in Munich retreat to Berlin? Berlin is currently vacant after having successfully recaptured Kiel.

How many turns are to be missed in a row before a position is considered as abandoned?

So is there a consensus as to which is closer to victory, a draw or a survive?

To take it a step further, say I have a choice between a draw, or a survive for more points than I would get in the draw, or vice versa?

That This Website Has Ever Seen And Will Ever See Because Everyone Else Is More Creative Than Me At Naming Their Games.
