Diplomacy: 2nd round - Backing up

[Sir. Velmu]

I made a dictator decission of hosting this game myself too and I picked us a variation called 1885. You can check the rules here, and here is the roster and map.

With names:

With units:

1. Leperchaun - Austria (red)
2. medvedov - France (blue)
3. Merentha - Britain (light blue)
4. Morgoth - Germany (black)
5. Bugman - Russia (brown)
6. Gculk - Sweden (orange)
7. Trooper4554 - Italy (green)
8. Bulle - Turkey (yellow)

(There won't be any Spain player, so the spanish units just hold in there. Also, I skipped the chances some of you people could had made in your starting units. Sorry about that.)

Deadline: Tuesday November 20th (don't miss, or you won't move).

Temporary note: the starting map already has at least one error in it. France should have an army instead of a fleet in Marseilles. I'll fix it soon, but incase someone is basing thier plannings on this chance, I guess we need a note.

 

[Merentha]

Ah.  Jolly good.  For King and Country, then. 

edit:  Odd fleet rules too. 

 

[leprechaun]

'Allo.

 

[Trooper5445]

If you need me I'll play Spain.

 

[Sir. Velmu]

I need you to play Spain. Do you know the rules?

 

[Drachenfaust]

I haven't had a chance to review the rules yet... nor have I received any opening communication from the other commanders.  I will endeavor to come up with some sort of opening gambit by tomorrow.  Please feel free to contact me via AIM (CorwynAZ) if you wish to negotiate or strategize.

 

[bugman]

I back.

FOR THE MOTHERLAND!

No fair, Merentha can read our messages now.

 

[Sir. Velmu]

No fair, Merentha can read our messages now.

No biggie, just put Deadline bolded infront of all your messages and he'll forget it (Yeah, I know you were busy, I just needed something to make this thread look active )

 

[Merentha]

And I actually don't believe I can, unless you report them.  (By the way, don't.)

 

[Sir. Velmu]

Trooper has joined the crew. Threat him well.

 

[bugman]

So sorry guys. I thought you said the rules were easy!

After reading the rules for an umpteenth time, I'll post.

 

[Trooper5445]

Yes hullo gents.

I am somewhat of a veteran diplomacy player but I have not played in some time so this should be a good game.

 

[Sir. Velmu]

So sorry guys. I thought you said the rules were easy!

Simple as a Swede - pick a unit from province A, tell it to move in province B and put unit from province C to support, if needed.

 

[Merentha]

And yet, you managed to **** it up somehow. 

 

[Sir. Velmu]

 

[Trooper5445]

Anyhow I sent in my orders.

 

[morgoth2005]

I can't be arsed to read all the rules. Got to about page 5 and the rest seems to be minor interpretations and other bull****.

I haven't read them ever in one session. As long as you get the main idea, it opens up pretty nicely. no need to remind me of anything

 

[Drachenfaust]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out... partially because I'm too lazy to learn a new set of rules, but mostly because I have too much other crap going on right now (which only serves to exacerbate the aforementioned laziness issue).
