Idea for a variant

I've got an idea for a variant of the standard map; more details inside. Since we're possibly going to be playing more variants on this site, I'd love to see what you guys think.

When should a live game be Canceled?

What are the guidelines for when to cancel a live game? If there are two CDs from the start is it fair to ask for a cancel, and what do you do when the person who benefits doesn't want to?

Double Support Illegal?

I wanted to clarify a rule for WebDip. In all my playing of Diplomacy, double support is not only permissible, but also encouraged.

Primerafik (264 )
10 Jan 10 UTC

Example from Wikipedia is as follows:
•Army Prussia supports Army Silesia
•Army Silesia supports Army Prussia

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Diplomacy/Rules#Support

Is the general community rule different?

`ZaZaMaRaNDaBo` (1922 )

You can double support.

Draugnar (0 )

No, cross supports are very common in F2F, Postal, eMail, and WebDip games. Nothing int he rules forbids it. It just makes both territories defend with a 2 unless both are attacked, then the supports are cut by the attackers. Three units can still take one of the territories with the third supporting one of the two attacks and four can take both so long as it's 2 on each territory.

Primerafik (264 )

That was my understanding as well. Thanks.

figlesquidge (2131 )

Why would it be illegal, and what lead you to think that?

akilies (861 )
11 Jan 10 UTC

you can quintuple support, if you had enough armies in the area etc.

Sendler (418 )

you could do 10 units supporting you to north sea ;)

Kainer (1096 )

remember that at all times, your unit can hold, support, move or convoy. if you are supporting, you are also holding.

Alderian (2425 )
11 Jan 10 UTC

And if you are convoying, you are also holding.

Basic rule is you use support move to support a unit to move and you use support hold on a unit doing anything else (hold, support hold, support move, and convoy.)

Acosmist (0 )

it's called mutual support, and early rulebooks did not allow it

now they do

a lot of fail happened before I posted

Troodonte (3379 )

I just don't the point of the clarification...

Troodonte (3379 )

*don't get

Acosmist (0 )

In the early rulebook, a support hold could be ordered only on a unit that was holding. A unit that was ordered to support hold, or support move, or convoy, was not holding, so the support hold order would fail. This made mutual support impossible.

figlesquidge (2131 )
11 Jan 10 UTC

Oh right.
Yes here you can support-hold any unit that is not trying to move.

Gobo (100 )
11 Jan 10 UTC

@figglesquidge, you can enter a support hold order on a moving unit as well, but then the order will fail.

orathaic (1009 )
11 Jan 10 UTC

you can enter a support hold order for someone else's unit and it will fail if that player orders there unit to move. (that being why you're able to enter contradictory orders)

Draugnar (0 )

@Acosmist - Wow, those must be old rulebooks. Everything I ever played (from about '79 on) allowed the support on any unit not trying to move, like the current rules.

warsprite (152 )

I've played since about 75. Must have been changed in the 60's or early 70's the latest.
