Not surprisingly the only two bounces in the spring become uncaptured neutrals in the fall! In fact lots of centers go uncaptured, not for lack of trying tho... we have a fierce amphibious assault as the Egyptian army fails to land on Crete, turned away by the Macedonians... and Sardinia, well, it sits there in the middle of the Western Med, a tranquil oasis with but a lone Roman raft floating towards its shores. Lots of press!

ONE AFTERNOON IN ARMENIAONE AFTERNOON IN ARMENIA
“Hello, dear! I’m home!”
“*Smooch* Hello, darling. Find everything you needed at the shop?”
“Everything and more! You’ll never guess who I bumped into!”
“Shhh, no shouting. We have guests in the parlor.”
“Guests? What guests?
“Oh, just the Scythian Hordes.”
“The Scythian Hordes?”
“Yes. You know, those hairy fellows from the north. We saw that documentary on the telly about them. Anyway, they saw our notice for the room to let, so popped by to inquire.”
“Maggie, we can’t have the Scythian Hordes in the parlor!”
“Oh, George, once they let the room, I suspect they’ll keep to the kitchen. In the meantime, I put the plastic on the good couch.”
“That’s not what I mean! I’ve got the Persians in the front hall!”
“The Persians?”
“Yes, that’s who I ran into at the store. Asked them if they wouldn’t mind swinging around to appraise the new rug.”
“But the new rug’s—-”
“In the living room, yes!”
“Oh, George!”
“Now, don’t panic, Maggie. For all we know the Persians and the Scythians are the oldest of chums.”
“They’re hordes, George! Hordes don’t have chums!”
“You’re right, of course. Oh, what are we to do?”
“You go out in the front hall and tell the Persians I lent the rug to my sister for her tea with the vicar. And I’ll tell the Scythian Hordes that they’ll need to come back next week about the room because of the . . . the . . .”
“The bed bugs!”
“Brilliant, George! The bed bugs! The exterminator can’t come until Tuesday, so to come back after that!”
“Ah, I’m glad I married such a level-headed girl.”
“Oh, George.”
“But what are we to do if they both come back on the same day again?”
“We best stock up on biscuits, shouldn’t we then.”

You say that we've come far enough? That the lands we now occupy are enough. Well, I say that there are lands further on that are rich - just as rich as the lands we now occupy. There are also other powers out there - powers that will attempt to snatch our lands from under our hooves if we so much as turn our back on them.
The lands we now occupy are inhabited by weaklings. We should be able to keep moving into the richer steppes ahead - leaving our tamgas on their livestock, burning their homes, taking their women for ours and Litaking their gold. By spreading the word of the riches and the victories that we are accomplishing there shall be more waves of tribesmen that follow us. I say we do not rest until we have conquered this whole land - from sea to sea.

| dc320 f08 Game-End Draw!! - MrBallgame (Sep 08, 2010, 1:09 pm) |
Harrumph. I believe Turkey's results and performance speaks for itself. 
I am left feeling rather like the Black Knight at the Bridge in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: That would be me, shouting at Austria, "Come back! I'll bite your legs off!"
I consider myself the unintended vicitm of Russia's initial confusion. I DMZed the Black Sea to gain time for an attack north, but that actually delayed my necessary deployment to the Black Sea as an offshore bolster to my home defense. I had hoped to ally with Austria and break out north to take advantage of the Russian confusion, but he recognized sooner that Russia was the lesser threat to him. And only too late did it seem comprehensible to me that Italy could ally with Austria, rather than trade future gains for Greece, which I viewed as just too close to home to let him keep. By then, Russia might have been an ally in spirit, but in no position to do anything about it.
I might have held out for few turns longer, if I hadnt mistaken Bulgaria for the Ardennes forest and foolishly tried a last ditch 'surprise' offense move, instead of holding tight in Constantinople; I also forfeited a strategic positon in E Med to retreat, too soon, into Smyrna. Let me know when you see that French fleet coming over the horizon from the West, will you?
My only other gripe would be to those who ignored me as they were intent on their conquests across the map -- if you have nothing to say or no business with my country, still you could email me, you dont have to promise, ally or threaten, you can even lie to me, or respond with gossip or nonsense to keep the lines open. Towards the end, I only heard the crickets chirp! More than half the fun is staying in touch through the game!
Ted

| dc320 f08 Game-End Draw!! - Wladimir7 (Sep 08, 2010, 11:38 am) |
Fellow players,
What a roller-coaster of a game this was for me. I mean it started slowly ratcheting upwards like the beginning ascent of the coaster (typical gains of Denmark and Holland) only to collapse quickly (losing Denmark with a foreign army in Ruhr) to have a nice satisfying slow ending with my steady growth closing the game.
In the beginning, I wanted to foment war between England and France while keeping my Austrian ally safe from attack. Germany can never succeed without a strong Austria (in my opinion) so I tried to bring peace to my south. France and England eventually began fighting while allowed me to send a strong force east against the quiet Russia alongside an Austrian army. I wanted to gain a corner position on the board and the northeast seemed the easiest to obtain.
This decision didn't look that smart though when England began hammering Scandinavia while eventually gaining the all-important Denmark. This left me with a tough decision of continuing my war in the east at the expense of losing centers closer to my home. I felt like gaining the corner position was more important so I carried on and the builds gained from that campaign were fortunately placed back home protecting the Rhineland just in time.
England correctly sniffed out the Aunchluss early on and no doubt tried to rally the board against us but the eastern powers were subdued before they could do anything about it. The mid-game ended with Austria being the dominant player on the board with a strong Italy and weakened Germany taking on England and France.
Austria then acted in a way that was unfamiliar to me. He did not stab me when I was weak. He left me alone and actually held his forces allowing me to collect myself against a now isolated England with a France fighting for his life against Italy. It was this selfless act that decided my endgame strategy. Germany reached a dominant position in the northeast corner with its eye on the British Isles when peace was reached. Naturally I did consider the prospect of going for the solo but I could not bring myself to stab such a loyal ally. Truthfully, my abilty to survive was directly because of Austria's decision.
Enough of gushy stuff. Everyone played great and I especially enjoyed the successful testing of the Aunchluss. I learned that it is more difficult than the Western Triple or the RT Steamroller but it is very powerful in the mid-game. Plenty of trust is needed since our home centers are so close to one another.
Thanks to everyone for keeping this game going without much delay. Special thanks to Mike for keeping us on pace and for being prompt in the results distribution.

Friends,
This has been a particularly bizarre game. On the one hand, I hate when one nation collapses quickly (Russia), and yet, such things are possible in the real world, so I gotta deal.
Ger and I were allied early and when Fletch missed the build I of course went for Lvp and held it like a knife to Fletch to hit Ger because of the Rus collapse. Things looked good except for that misorder to Spa where I forgot to specify the coast that allowed Italy to get in. I thought I could win it back, and depend on Austrian pressure on the other side of Alfred, but I misordered against Spa AGAIN and Austria wasn't being much help, and when I lost Mar, I knew that front was done, and when Fletch came against me with his righteous fury, well, there wasn't much more to be done.
I will say I think much of this was my fault, as egotistical as that is to say. First, my misorders were sadly clutch, and embarrassingly repeated. Also, Fletch kept alerting me to the central alliance, and I kept insisting it was just coincidence they would move against each other in time. Mmmm, yeah I feel pretty darn stupid about that. I took no interest against the east until it was absolutely too late. But, you know, props to the east for being so stealthy about their grand alliance, which seems to have been well planned....
Ah well. Good job to all and hope to play with you folks again. Esp Theodore. We made some plans but no chance came to make them work. I hope next game together we get to actually interact.
Regards!

Hi all
Well done and many thanks to Mike for running the game, thanks to my allies ah and ger and of course all those players who kept issuing orders etc right to the end.
Some interesting things turned the game for me. I had no plan to go for ah but couldn't get the deal on gre I think is vital to Italy, so I risked early war and threatened tri, it worked and after that we got along fine. The second gamble was to go west, again not in my initial plan, but the missed build in liv let fra in and I feared a fra dominance that I had to curtail, it worked and the balance of power was restored.
The great strength of Italy usually is to be able to wait and see, but this game I didn't feel that was an option.
I think ah had a decent, but not sure chance, to go for a solo, probably when ger were snared up with the last rus unit and I was bogged down with fra. He didn't; fair play to him.
I enjoyed the game and look forward to playing with you all again

Find a new Russia.
Let me know ASAP.

Welcome aboard Jack!
Russia had two retreats that turned to disbands for being
unordered. To be fair I'm giving Jack the chance to retreat those
units:
F Arabian Sea can retreat to East Africa or Yemen or Central Indian
Ocean or Persian Gulf.
A Kazakhstan can retreat to Ekaterinburg or Uzbekistan.
The deadline for these retreats is Monday, October 6th (at) 2359

The dealine for Fall 1913 orders will be Thursday, October 9th (at)

Sorry it's so short, but I'm going out of town Friday morning.

| SV: dc320 f08 Game-End Draw!! - trezdk (Sep 08, 2010, 3:19 am) |
Hey all,
This was a most interesting game.
As Alfred said, from the first go Italy and I didn’t see
quite eye to eye on Greece, but we worked it out and from then we stood by each
other. And I could have gone for the solo and might even have achieved it, but
to what end? I would rather be known as a fair player than a backstabber J
Alfred and I quickly decided that in order for him and me to
survive we needed to take Turkey out, and since France didn’t seem
interested in Italy from the start it would be something we could achieve. On
top of this, Germany went for Russia with a small Austrian assistance so I
could go around the Black Sea.
After the East had been subdued there where really only one way
to go J
But a great game all J

Emne: Re: dc320 f08 Game-End Draw!!
Friends,
This has been a particularly bizarre game. On the one
hand, I hate when one nation collapses quickly (Russia), and yet, such things
are possible in the real world, so I gotta deal.
Ger and I were allied early and when Fletch missed the build
I of course went for Lvp and held it like a knife to Fletch to hit Ger because
of the Rus collapse. Things looked good except for that misorder to Spa
where I forgot to specify the coast that allowed Italy to get in. I
thought I could win it back, and depend on Austrian pressure on the other side
of Alfred, but I misordered against Spa AGAIN and Austria wasn't being much
help, and when I lost Mar, I knew that front was done, and when Fletch came
against me with his righteous fury, well, there wasn't much more to be done.
I will say I think much of this
was my fault, as egotistical as that is to say. First, my misorders were
sadly clutch, and embarrassingly repeated. Also, Fletch kept
alerting me to the central alliance, and I kept insisting it was just
coincidence they would move against each other in time. Mmmm, yeah I feel
pretty darn stupid about that. I took no interest against the east until
it was absolutely too late. But, you know, props to the east for being so
stealthy about their grand alliance, which seems to have been well planned....
Ah well. Good job to all and hope to play with you
folks again. Esp Theodore. We made some plans but no chance came to
make them work. I hope next game together we get to actually interact.
Regards!

Hi all
Well done and many thanks to
Mike for running the game, thanks to my allies ah and ger and of course all
those players who kept issuing orders etc right to the end.
Some interesting things
turned the game for me. I had no plan to go for ah but couldn’t get the
deal on gre I think is vital to Italy, so I risked early war and threatened
tri, it worked and after that we got along fine. The second gamble was to go
west, again not in my initial plan, but the missed build in liv let fra in and
I feared a fra dominance that I had to curtail, it worked and the balance of
power was restored.
The great strength of Italy
usually is to be able to wait and see, but this game I didn’t feel that
was an option.
I think ah had a decent, but
not sure chance, to go for a solo, probably when ger were snared up with the
last rus unit and I was bogged down with fra. He didn’t; fair play to
him.
I enjoyed the game and look
forward to playing with you all again

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know
the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the
way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing
thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when
the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that
stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to
understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in
those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept
going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"

Awesome! What action! I like watching it as a player; it is quite entertaining. Based on the current direction, I am betting that this game has much life left in it.
We do have several retreats and we will have quite a few adjustments after that. Let's do our retreats first:
German F BAL can retreat to Lvn, Pru, Ber or OTBRussian A Ser can retreat to Rum, Alb or OTBItalian F TYS can retreat to Rom, Nap, Tun or OTB
Let's have retreats by Tuesday at 6pm CST. From there we will do Winter adjustments for Thursday the 9th at 6pm CST.
Preliminary adjustment info is:
Austria - no changeEngland - build 1France - build 1Germany - remove 2 unless F BAL retreats OTB (then only remove 1)Italy - no change unless F TYS retreats OTB (then build 1)Russia - build 1 unless A Ser retreats OTB (then build 2)

| dc320 f08 Game-End Draw!! - Blueraider0 (Sep 07, 2010, 10:23 pm) |
Friends,
This has been a particularly bizarre game. On the one hand, I hate when one nation collapses quickly (Russia), and yet, such things are possible in the real world, so I gotta deal.
Ger and I were allied early and when Fletch missed the build I of course went for Lvp and held it like a knife to Fletch to hit Ger because of the Rus collapse. Things looked good except for that misorder to Spa where I forgot to specify the coast that allowed Italy to get in. I thought I could win it back, and depend on Austrian pressure on the other side of Alfred, but I misordered against Spa AGAIN and Austria wasn't being much help, and when I lost Mar, I knew that front was done, and when Fletch came against me with his righteous fury, well, there wasn't much more to be done.
I will say I think much of this was my fault, as egotistical as that is to say. First, my misorders were sadly clutch, and embarrassingly repeated. Also, Fletch kept alerting me to the central alliance, and I kept insisting it was just coincidence they would move against each other in time. Mmmm, yeah I feel pretty darn stupid about that. I took no interest against the east until it was absolutely too late. But, you know, props to the east for being so stealthy about their grand alliance, which seems to have been well planned....
Ah well. Good job to all and hope to play with you folks again. Esp Theodore. We made some plans but no chance came to make them work. I hope next game together we get to actually interact.
Regards!

Hi all
Well done and many thanks to Mike for running the game, thanks to my allies ah and ger and of course all those players who kept issuing orders etc right to
the end.
Some interesting things turned the game for me. I had no plan to go for ah but couldn't get the deal on gre I think is vital to Italy, so I risked early war
and threatened tri, it worked and after that we got along fine. The second gamble was to go west, again not in my initial plan, but the missed build in liv let fra in and I feared a fra dominance that I had to curtail, it worked and the balance of power was
restored.
The great strength of Italy usually is to be able to wait and see, but this game I didn't feel that was an option.
I think ah had a decent, but not sure chance, to go for a solo, probably when ger were snared up with the last rus unit and I was bogged down with fra. He
didn't; fair play to him.
I enjoyed the game and look forward to playing with you all again

England and France squeak by with survivals, and the big 3 declare world peace. Congrats! And so, our summerfest comes to a happy end, right on the day after
Labor Day - the traditional end to summer. Was it fate? EOG's are encouraged from all! It's been a pleasure and see you next game...

With 2 years done, let me take a moment to suggest prelims… I
know a few of you guys are new, but the best Diplomacy habit you can get into
is the habit of using prelims! (that, and talk to every player every
round) When you get results (aka NOW) pick what you think your most likely set,
and turn them in. Immediately. That way you’ve got at least
something turned in. As the turn progresses and you get a chance to talk
to ppl, you can revise as the deadline gets closer. But it’s really
seeming like I get up to the day of the deadline, and at least half of you
don’t have anything turned in! I’ve been a bit lax in this game knowing
it’s got quite a few newcomers – but in a game of regulars you would not
get that leeway!
Now with a 2nd year done, I *am* going to start running
the turns right at the deadlines. I usually do this in every game…
(except when I’m slacking off or late)
Let me also point out that no game is ever lost! Even w a
couple units left… The DC Invitational was won this year by a Turkey who got
stuck on 3 centers for the first 10 years of the game!
GM spiel – OUT!

Hi Everyone,
I think Britain also gets a build for the disbanded unit. Apologies: because I combine the autumn and winter seasons into one adjudication Realpolitik does not give me accurate build orders. I have to do them manually and am not accustomed to looking back for multiple disbands. Sorry.
Let me know what else I've missed!

| dc330: Fa40 Results! - dknemeyer (Sep 07, 2010, 4:44 pm) |
Best season of this game, by far. There are only 3 builds despite many centers changing hands from one end of the continent to the next. Clarity seems to be forming around the end game: will momentum roll toward an inevitable result, or will the human factor take this massive conflict into a different direction?!
As 1940 starts winding to a close we take a moment to look away from the war and consider international affairs:
The indecisive posture of the United States is poignantly illustrated on August 4: General John J. Pershing urges all-out aid to Britain in a nationwide radio broadcast, while Charles Lindbergh is the features speaker at a large isolationist rally in Chicago
On August 21 Leon Trotsky died in Mexico from axe wounds sustained the previous day by an NKVD agent. In light of the present Soviet struggles in the European engagement one wonders if Trotsky's leadership might have made a difference
In September the United States begins converting National Guard Divisions: the newly-formed U.S. Army 45th Infantry Division is activated and ordered into federal service
On September 12, away from military activity, a group of young Frenchmen hiking in Lascaux discover 17,000 year-old cave paintings
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 on September 16, creating the first peacetime draft in U.S. history
On October 16 draft registration begins. It is believed that 16 million men will eventually be so conscripted
Franklin D. Roosevelt is elected to an unprecedented third term as U.S. President on November 5
On December 14 plutonium is first isolated chemically in the laboratory
There are 2 retreats this season; upcoming deadlines at the end of this note:

Hi Everyone,
FYI, I made a mistake on the last adjudication. Since Italy had a disband last year he gets two builds instead of one.
Apologies for any confusion.

Hi Everyone,
I think Britain also gets a build for the disbanded unit. Apologies: because I combine the autumn and winter seasons into one adjudication Realpolitik does not give me accurate build orders. I have to do them manually and am not accustomed to looking back for multiple disbands. Sorry.
Let me know what else I've missed!

Hi all
Well done and many thanks to Mike for running the game, thanks to my allies ah and ger and of course all those players who kept issuing orders etc right to
the end.
Some interesting things turned the game for me. I had no plan to go for ah but couldn’t get the deal on gre I think is vital to Italy, so I risked early war
and threatened tri, it worked and after that we got along fine. The second gamble was to go west, again not in my initial plan, but the missed build in liv let fra in and I feared a fra dominance that I had to curtail, it worked and the balance of power was
restored.
The great strength of Italy usually is to be able to wait and see, but this game I didn’t feel that was an option.
I think ah had a decent, but not sure chance, to go for a solo, probably when ger were snared up with the last rus unit and I was bogged down with fra. He
didn’t; fair play to him.
I enjoyed the game and look forward to playing with you all again

Friends,
This has been a particularly bizarre game. On the one hand, I hate when one nation collapses quickly (Russia), and yet, such things are possible in the real world, so I gotta deal.
Ger and I were allied early and when Fletch missed the build I of course went for Lvp and held it like a knife to Fletch to hit Ger because of the Rus collapse. Things looked good except for that misorder to Spa where I forgot to specify the coast that allowed Italy to get in. I thought I could win it back, and depend on Austrian pressure on the other side of Alfred, but I misordered against Spa AGAIN and Austria wasn't being much help, and when I lost Mar, I knew that front was done, and when Fletch came against me with his righteous fury, well, there wasn't much more to be done.
I will say I think much of this was my fault, as egotistical as that is to say. First, my misorders were sadly clutch, and embarrassingly repeated. Also, Fletch kept alerting me to the central alliance, and I kept insisting it was just coincidence they would move against each other in time. Mmmm, yeah I feel pretty darn stupid about that. I took no interest against the east until it was absolutely too late. But, you know, props to the east for being so stealthy about their grand alliance, which seems to have been well planned....
Ah well. Good job to all and hope to play with you folks again. Esp Theodore. We made some plans but no chance came to make them work. I hope next game together we get to actually interact.
Regards!

Hi all
Well done and many thanks to Mike for running the game, thanks to my allies ah and ger and of course all those players who kept issuing orders etc right to
the end.
Some interesting things turned the game for me. I had no plan to go for ah but couldn't get the deal on gre I think is vital to Italy, so I risked early war
and threatened tri, it worked and after that we got along fine. The second gamble was to go west, again not in my initial plan, but the missed build in liv let fra in and I feared a fra dominance that I had to curtail, it worked and the balance of power was
restored.
The great strength of Italy usually is to be able to wait and see, but this game I didn't feel that was an option.
I think ah had a decent, but not sure chance, to go for a solo, probably when ger were snared up with the last rus unit and I was bogged down with fra. He
didn't; fair play to him.
I enjoyed the game and look forward to playing with you all again

England and France squeak by with survivals, and the big 3 declare world peace. Congrats! And so, our summerfest comes to a happy end, right on the day after
Labor Day - the traditional end to summer. Was it fate? EOG's are encouraged from all! It's been a pleasure and see you next game...

Fellow players,
What a roller-coaster of a game this was for me. I mean it started slowly ratcheting upwards like the beginning ascent of the coaster (typical gains of Denmark and Holland) only to collapse quickly (losing Denmark with a foreign army in Ruhr) to have a nice satisfying slow ending with my steady growth closing the game.
In the beginning, I wanted to foment war between England and France while keeping my Austrian ally safe from attack. Germany can never succeed without a strong Austria (in my opinion) so I tried to bring peace to my south. France and England eventually began fighting while allowed me to send a strong force east against the quiet Russia alongside an Austrian army. I wanted to gain a corner position on the board and the northeast seemed the easiest to obtain.
This decision didn't look that smart though when England began hammering Scandinavia while eventually gaining the all-important Denmark. This left me with a tough decision of continuing my war in the east at the expense of losing centers closer to my home. I felt like gaining the corner position was more important so I carried on and the builds gained from that campaign were fortunately placed back home protecting the Rhineland just in time.
England correctly sniffed out the Aunchluss early on and no doubt tried to rally the board against us but the eastern powers were subdued before they could do anything about it. The mid-game ended with Austria being the dominant player on the board with a strong Italy and weakened Germany taking on England and France.
Austria then acted in a way that was unfamiliar to me. He did not stab me when I was weak. He left me alone and actually held his forces allowing me to collect myself against a now isolated England with a France fighting for his life against Italy. It was this selfless act that decided my endgame strategy. Germany reached a dominant position in the northeast corner with its eye on the British Isles when peace was reached. Naturally I did consider the prospect of going for the solo but I could not bring myself to stab such a loyal ally. Truthfully, my abilty to survive was directly because of Austria's decision.
Enough of gushy stuff. Everyone played great and I especially enjoyed the successful testing of the Aunchluss. I learned that it is more difficult than the Western Triple or the RT Steamroller but it is very powerful in the mid-game. Plenty of trust is needed since our home centers are so close to one another.
Thanks to everyone for keeping this game going without much delay. Special thanks to Mike for keeping us on pace and for being prompt in the results distribution.

Harrumph. I believe Turkey's results and performance speaks for itself.
I am left feeling rather like the Black Knight at the Bridge in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: That would be me, shouting at Austria, "Come back! I'll bite your legs off!"
I consider myself the unintended vicitm of Russia's initial confusion. I DMZed the Black Sea to gain time for an attack north, but that actually delayed my necessary deployment to the Black Sea as an offshore bolster to my home defense. I had hoped to ally with Austria and break out north to take advantage of the Russian confusion, but he recognized sooner that Russia was the lesser threat to him. And only too late did it seem comprehensible to me that Italy could ally with Austria, rather than trade future gains for Greece, which I viewed as just too close to home to let him keep. By then, Russia might have been an ally in spirit, but in no position to do anything about it.
I might have held out for few turns longer, if I hadnt mistaken Bulgaria for the Ardennes forest and foolishly tried a last ditch 'surprise' offense move, instead of holding tight in Constantinople; I also forfeited a strategic positon in E Med to retreat, too soon, into Smyrna. Let me know when you see that French fleet coming over the horizon from the West, will you?
My only other gripe would be to those who ignored me as they were intent on their conquests across the map -- if you have nothing to say or no business with my country, still you could email me, you dont have to promise, ally or threaten, you can even lie to me, or respond with gossip or nonsense to keep the lines open. Towards the end, I only heard the crickets chirp! More than half the fun is staying in touch through the game!
