Fall 1902 Results - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Fall 1902
News of the world:

Enrico Caruso makes his first gramophone recording.
Aswan Dam is completed in central Egypt, becoming the chief means of storing irrigation water for the Nile valley.
The fossils of a Tyrannosaurus rex are discovered by Barnum Brown in Hell Creek, Montana.

Meanwhile European powers attempt to gain control of several key areas. Austria takes a couple of major hits and will need to find new quarters for some of their troops this Autumn. Faulty telegraph wires may be to blame as France finds their support for British troops fall flat. And the German Kaiser remains incommunicado. The people of Germany will be seeking a new leader for 1903.

F Greece - Bulgaria(sc)
A Trieste Hold
A Vienna No Order Received

DC172 Midsumers - Spring 1608 - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Heya folks,

Apologies, your humble GM has been plagued with internet difficulties the last couple of days. Things seem to be on the mend now, and in the interest of just getting this out here is the Spring 1608 turn minus the usual flavour.

The Spanish have difficulties fighting on two fronts and as a result the Danes slip into Granada. Meanwhile, the Russians suddenly realize they are ALSO fighting on two fronts, as they whirl to deal with the growing Danish presence in central Asia.

The draw vote was defeated and the bloodshed continues. Our French forces suffered a reversal as a result of the Spring moves and were forced backwards. However, since Burgundy was the only option I took the liberty. (Fletch, if OTB is preferred then please just let me know.) Otherwise, Fall 1608 orders will be due Thursday, September 24th (11:59 PM GMT).

Please let me know if you spot any errors in the adjudication - it was done rather hurriedly. Cheers!

DC191 - Winter 1906 Extension - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Heya folks,

Looks as though I'm missing orders from one player for Winter. However, the last couple of days my internet connection has been having a hairy canary, courtesy of my service provider.. Now, this SHOULDN'T affect things being sent to Gmail - but just in the weird chance that it might have I feel we need to extend the Winter deadline 24 hours.


The player in question has been notified via seperate email and the Winter will be put out tonight with or without his orders.


Thanks for the patience everyone. Cheers,


T.

DC196 - Once Again Recruiting - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Well folks,

In the theory that the more players actually take part in a game, the better, we will be opening DC-196 for recruiting once again. Our Turkish player, Nicola, has had to step down due to some very serious real life troubles. Our friendly game is on hold for the moment while I find some brave soul daring enough to step to the table with you fine competitors. =)


Seriously though, Nicola - I hope things work out for you what with the latest financial troubles. Good luck, brother.


Cheers people. I'll let you know who is stepping in as the Sultan as soon as I know myself.

Now Sims, just because some other guy named Kent Bakker had success in this variant, doesn't mean you have to single me out... I appreciate the vote of confidence though!!

Good luck all...

Kent Bakker says you all have nothing to be afraid of from me... Sims and Trout are far deadlier than lil ol' Rob

DC191 Study In Baltic - Winter 1906 - The Stockbro... - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
Holmes and Watson, at gunpoint, found themselves escorted through the Finnish woods along a narrow game-trail. The three men behind them remained silent, the gunman only grunting out directions whenever they reached a crossing or a branch in the path. After they had been walking for roughly an hour, the leader ordered them to stop for a break.

Sherlock eyed their abducters cooly, then ventured "Pycroft, I presume."


The gunman sputtered briefly, then regained himself. "You're as smart as they say you are, Mr. Holmes. But that's enough out of you."


Holmes wouldn't be stopped though. "Do your friends, the Piner brothers, know that you are a mere stockbroker's clerk when not acting the role of armed thug? Or are they going by their name of Beddington once again?"


The firearm was cocked. "I said that was enough. There's lots of ships being built in Finland these days - you could hide a body in one of their holds real easy like..." Pycroft motioned towards the trail. "Now get walking..."


--------------------------


Heya folks,


There are, indeed, a lot of ships being built in Finland. Fleets spring up in Helsingfors and Vasa - and an army in Kuopio for good measure. Meanwhile, a fleet of a different colour shows up in Danzing and the boys from Siljan get the train-ride home.


On we go into the Spring of 1907. Deadline for orders will be set for Friday, September 26th (11:59 PM GMT).


Cheers!

DC 192 End of Game statement - test_gm   (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am)
've kind of been dilatory in getting around to this. I've been under the weather for the past couple of days which coincided with my birthday so do forgive the lapse in time.

First things first, many thanks to Paolo for running this game. You were an excellent GM who put up with my near constant revision of orders and guesswork. I'm fairly sure I filled up your email inbox in the course of this game.

Of course, I also want to thank all of the participants in the game. I think we all developed a rapport in the game and kept things civil, and I appreciate that.

Anyhoo, to get right down to it, I'll try to detail my strategy for you guys. This was my first time playing Germany in a diplomacy game, so I'm pretty sure I played an unorthodox strategy, but I suppose it worked. I'm probably going to detail my strategy in the west first, and then discuss the east. The inital strategy I focused on was an attack on France supported by England and Italy. This strategy was suggested by England and having heard nothing from France I decided to go with it. It was initially successful, but in the fall turn, Andy inexplicably held in the North sea, meaning he did not acquire a supply center that turn. That was alright at the time, because France failed to submit builds for his turn.

At that time, I turned to Mike and suggested an accomodation with him regarding the north, with a division of England. Subsequently, France abandoned the game and was replaced by David who was much more skilled and much more communicative than the previous France. I think Adam and I were discussing David as a new player and Adam remarked that he was getting done with the first paragraph of an email sent out by him.

So, with Andy not getting any builds that turn, I felt that he might be a drag on my expansion with Mike potentially getting more out of the north than myself. So I felt justified in reversing course. Had Andy moved to Norway, this would have been a very different game I think.

So, with David and myself in a pretty firm alliance, with Mike agreeing to assist us against Andy, we set out to conquer England. Given Andy's relative weakness, his position was breached fairly early and he was eliminated due to our triple attack.

In the east, things were generally unsettled throughout the game. This was my intention seeing that Mike was attacking Pat with Stuart on the fence. In order to keep things uncertain in the East, I moved a couple of units into the east to further unbalance things there. My stab against Mike was guesswork, he figured I would attack Norway, and accordingly moved there. I moved into Sweden and that move put me in the lead as far as Supply Centers went. Subsequently, Mikes overextension allowed Pat, myself, and Stuart to carve him up in a few turns. I think he lost Warsaw, Rumania, Bulgaria, St. P and Sev in a year.

As per my agreement with David, I submitted a draw proposal at that time calling for a two way draw between the two of us. It was voted down (I think I was at 12 centers and he was at 11 at that point). The next year brought me to 14 with Sev and Vienna falling to a smothering offensive. Another draw proposal was submitted (not by me) and that one was voted down as well. With an assist from Adam, I was able to capture Budapest and that brought me to 15, with David at 12 or 13. A final draw proposal was submitted and voted down. I was better positioned to gain 18, and I went for it and was successful.
