PPSC vs WTA

In this thread: http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5803, a couple of players have pointed out how the PPSC mentality strongly influence the last phases of the game. Eventually I agree.

I would like to hear more from experienced players and newcomers alike which one of the two you prefer to play and why, but also what do you think the main differences in terms of general strategy and typical evolution of the game along the years are.

Possible Mistake in game "Trust, but Verify"

I attacked the french army in Brest yet it was still able to support another attack that succeeded. Shouldn't that support have been cut all together and the other attack failed?

Anyone up for a WTA game?

I've started a WTA game, normal phase, 20 buy-in, so the winner will get 140 points!
I've never done WTA and I'm sort of sick of all the PPSC nonsense.
So who's with me? This game is open to anyone.

Deadliest ally-combination?

Over the course of many games, the winner is only decided after two countries work together to eliminate everyone else. This is especially the case in Points-per-SupplyCentre games, where a good chunk of players are OK with second place.

My question is, what pairs of countries make the most effective and successfully duo in your experience? France-England, Italy-Austria, Germany-Asutria, etc. etc.

Cutting support with a failed convoy

Does a failed convoy attack cut support?

spyman (424 )
18 Oct 08 UTC

I have just been reading about a supposed paradox in the rules of diplomacy, concerning convoys:
http://devel.diplom.org/DipPouch/Zine/F1999R/Debate/paradox.html
The article proposes two solutions, neither of which makes sense (to my newbie way of thinking). Thus I have a question: Normally an attack on a territory cuts any support from the attacked territory. Does this rule apply to failed convoy attacks. For example, if Brest attacks London via a convoy from the EC, but the fleet in the EC is dislodged, is London's support (to whomever) cut? Or do the rules consider that London has, in fact, not been attacked because the convoy failed?

all attacks cut support...

In the example provided by the website listed above, I would have thought that the resolution would have been the the German fleet in Belgium would have taken the EC.

According to pg 17 of the Avalon Hill rulebook, "As long as there is one successful convoy route, the landing Army does cut any support given by a unit in the destination province." This makes it sound like a failed convoy would not cut support, which makes sense to me. An army can't cut support if it can't get to the destination in the first place. This doesn't apply when battling on land (without convoys) because even a dislodged unit can move into a province it's not getting attacked from, so a dislodged unit can still cut support in a province that isn't attacking/supporting an attack on it.

spyman (424 )

If what you say is true, then there is a paradox here.
I just looked in my rule book and this is what it says:
"A Convoyed Attack Does Not Cut Certain Supports
A convoyed Army does not cut the support of a unit supporting an attack against one of the Fleets necessary for the Army to convoy".
I wonder what the rule is on this site then?

Visit http://phpdiplomacy.net/datc.php , and check the test cases at the very bottom, to see the specific details about how convoy paradoxes are handled

Beardy,
Please keep the posts on track. If you have a new subject, you can start a new thread

There is no email notification system. Just check back every day (Hopefully more than that, so you can talk with the other players)
