Hi guys,
sorry for having kept you waiting. It's been a crazy past few days. So,
what's happened this season?
I'm having a slight déjà-vu in that it appears something of an East-West
confrontation is shaping up, something which had long been the prevalent
alliance structure in the other game I'm GMing (a 1648 game), which led to
something like WW1 trench-warfare for a good number of years before a critical
stab utterly changed the European situation. Though of course our game's a far
cry from that extreme situation. Really, I should some day delve into the mail
you kindly CC me and get down to all the nefarious stuff that I trust is
happening. Though unfortunately my schedule will have to relax before I can
indulge in some of that intriguing correspondence-snooping again. In the
meantime, I hope the game's still proving a fun challenge for you lot.
I've scheduled the Summer 1942 Retreats for Saturday, 13
August. The day the wall was built here in Berlin...
Liebe Grüsse,
Charles

| (DC 326) Gumball - Fall 1907 Results - Corrino (Aug 11, 2010, 9:18 pm) |
Go, go, Gumball!
You guys have done it again! Just at the time when most Diplomacy games would be looking at one or two powers starting to dominate the board, you guys are actually becoming MORE evenly balanced. I'm thinking I'd better reconsider my Christmas vacation plans because this game is still going to be playing.
Three powers entered 1907 at three SC. At the end of the year, two of those three are now up to four, and the third is holding his own. Meanwhile, our board leader (Germany) is knocked back to seven dots. I'll have another cup of parity, please!
Highlights of our Lucky 7th year:
Germany and Austria, our two biggest powers with 7 SC each, continue to jostle along their mutual border. Each one forces one of his
opponents units to retreat. Is this a war or a square dance? One step forward, one step back, do-si-do with red and black!
Russia finally convinces England to take Norway away from the Germans. But what's this? It looks like Germany may be trying to make peace with the White Army. Will the Tsar give him a listen or are past injuries still too sore to ignore?Turkey wins the lottery. Okay, not the MEGA-MILLIONS, but certainly the daily numbers. Not only does he outguess the A-I team and take back Smryna, but his lonely fleet in Sevastopol gets to remain unmolested in that port through the coming Winter. Mark that down as +1 for the Sultan.England has a successful turn, too, taking Norway away from the Germans, who no doubt expected one or both of those English fleets to sail to North Sea. That's a nice +1 for the Brits, too.
By the way, it looks like that
German offer to give Belgium to the French is off the table. Losing a dot does tend to cut into one's charitable impulse.Italy can't help but say the naughty words as his dual front war is producing dual doo-doo. No progress in France and going backward in Turkey. I expect there will be some hard questions being asked in Rome this Winter about the direction this war is taking.
And our last note is a doozy. Seriously, you might want to sit down for this one. France moves a unit! No really, he does. Look at F Portugal now out in MAO. It wasn't there before, I'm sure. Better watch out, Europe! Here it comes! Vive La Republique!

Here is the winter adjustment phase for 1902:
------------------
Austria:
Remove F Tyrrhenian Sea
England:
Build waived
Italy:
Build F Naples
Russia:
Build F St Petersburg(nc)
Build A Moscow
Turkey:
Build A Constantinople
Build F Smyrna
DEADLINE:
Spring 1903 in one week, Wednesday August 18, 17:00 MDT.

It seems that our new france has had no trouble settling in, and even gets an early head start in the scavenging of Britain's centers. To the south, Austria finds himself in trouble as the armies of the east continue to push forward. No retreats, so we'll move on to Fall 1905, which will be due on Friday the 13th. If there are any problems, as always, let me know.

GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A WINNER!
Congratulations to Scott Hickey, aka Lequinian, for his solo victory as Turkey in A Stab in the Dark, the inaugural Gunboat Stab! game on the DC site.
Bittersweet congratulations are also in order for our second-place finisher, Paul Russell, who played a heck of a game himself. Paul, as England, just missed derailing the Turkish locomotive that in the early-to-mid-game seemed on track to an easy triumph.
Scott used a ton of skill throughout the game and just enough intuition in the final season to thwart England's final gambit. It was a fifty-fifty proposition in the last Fall season. Turkey had four units in defense against England's four units attacking. Would it be three on Munich and one on Berlin, or two for each? Scott guessed the latter and he guessed correctly, managing to bounce the English attacks in both supply centers and to claim his 18th dot in Munich while Berlin was left open.
Here are the orders that decided it all. (The complete set of orders can be found at the end of this message.)
England:
F Baltic Sea Supports A Kiel - Berlin
A Burgundy - Munich (*Bounce*)
A Kiel - Berlin (*Bounce*)
A Ruhr Supports A Burgundy - Munich
Turkey:
A Bohemia - Munich (*Bounce*)
A Munich - Berlin (*Bounce*)
A Silesia Supports A Munich - Berlin
A Tyrolia Supports A Bohemia - Munich
Tooth and nail to the end, I do believe that we would have had a stalemate if there had been no victory this year. As you can see from the attached maps, Turkey had just filled into Prussia, closing the last small gap in the two players' lines. I'm sure Paul is kicking himself for allowing Turkey to take Munich in the Spring, but hey, he took a calculated risk and it just didn't work. No shame there.

GM's EOG Statement
I was first introduced to Stab! a few years back by a gentleman GM named Stephen Worthy (henceforth SW -- Hi Stephen!) from the Cat23 Diplomacy group. I was completely hooked after one turn. I liked gunboat. I really liked the semi-blind aspect, which let me try to be tricky in the dark and which really engaged my deductive powers trying to figure out where everyone's units were. I did rather well at it, too, which no doubt contributed to my enjoyment.
So, here it is a few years later and I decide that not only is it time I gave back and GM a game, but it's also my chance to revive Stab! on a new forum and find out whether I can get a bunch of new players hooked on it, too. Judging from the quickness with which the game filled up there was clearly strong interest. Not only strong interest, but a very strong group of players. I remember telling Mike Sims that I had a veritable all-star lineup. Even our "new face," Jeff Krauss, was fast proving his worth (just check out his standing in WB10), so I was expecting a great game and I'm very happy to say I wasn't disappointed.
Of course the GM has a uniquely omniscient perspective in a game like Stab! It was great fun to be able to watch each player tackle the problem of how to maneuver about in the dark. Russia and England and France, to name three examples, took advantage of the dark to quickly expand and attack opponents in non-traditional ways. Others were very conservative. Turkey, for instance, was very cautious. He couldn't know this, of course, but he repeatedly spent turns supporting himself in place against imaginary threats. If he had pushed on more boldly, I think there was a good chance he could have won the game easily 4 or 5 years earlier. Scroll through the Realpolitik file and see if you agree.
I don't want to step on the toes of the players' EOGS so I'm not going to speculate too much more on individual play. In general terms, though, it was signficant, I think, that it was our two witches who thrived best. In a somewhat chaotic world, is it a coincidence that it was the two countries considered highest in defensive strength that dominated in this game?
Think about that for a minute, and then check out these statistics. Combining this result with the outcomes from the four games SW has run, these are our outcomes:
CAT23 926: Russian win (year ??)
CAT23 1004: Turkey, England, France draw (year ??)
CAT23 1232: Turkish win (1912, 18 SC)
CAT23 1233: Turkish win (1907, 20 SC)DC 324: Turkish win (1914, 18 SC)
That's three Turkish solos out of five games. I know, I know. It's not a large sample size, but still, it makes you want to look a little closer.
In 1233, Turkey was aided greatly by his neighbors Russia and Austria. The former opened by sending 3 of his 4 units towards Scandinavia, while the latter opened against Italy and Russia, ignoring Serbia and Greece altogether in 1901. Turkey roared out of the gate and was never checked as he rolled to a quick and decisive victory.
The other two Turkish victories were not that kind of win. Both were more typical examples of blind gunboat games, where play is understandably less efficient than in sighted games. However, it still seems fair to me to wonder whether or not that type of game environment might just offer inherent advantages to some countries. I'm sure we could have a wonderful debate on that very topic. (I know because I have.) My current feeling, though, is that rather than debate the topic, I'd like to see more data. I'd like to see more games completed AND ... I'd like to see more games played where the results given above are known ahead of time because, as we all know, we do adjust our games to compensate for the strengths and weaknesses of the various countries according to our knowledge of their past performance. My guess is that if I were to host another game of Stab! on DC within the next few months that Turkey would start the game with a giant bullseye on his back. And you know what? That's okay. If we play enough of these games we'll eventually build up a new set of expectations and strategies to deal with the situation that not all countries are created equal in Stab! land. Heck, they're not equal in standard Dip, so we've no right to complain if Stab! skews the balance in different ways than we're used to. Right?

I know that Germany has already written his EOGS and I hope that more of you will follow suit. I'd love to hear about how you stabbed in the dark and tried to keep from getting stabbed. Comments on the game management (my part) and the game rules are welcome, too. As mentioned some time ago, I intend to expand quite a bit on Stab! entry the DipWiki. I'll need some time to collect all my notes, but when I do I will send them to all of you for your review and comments.
Farewell
I suppose as Diplomacy games go this one played out pretty quickly. Fourteen years in fifteen weeks is certainly no record, but I have to say it felt like longer. I can put out a typically gunboat adjudication in about 30 minutes. The BEST I ever did in Stab! was an hour, and typically it was 1.5 to 2 hours by the time I'd finished.
Rest assured that it was all a labor of love and I'd do it again. Not right away, but again. Thanks to all the players who did a wonderful job of keeping to -- and ahead of, in most cases -- the deadlines. One NMR in 14 years is pretty darn good, in my book. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did hosting.
Cheers,
Chris

| (DC 324) A Stab in the Dark *** GAME OVER *** - Lequinian (Aug 10, 2010, 10:14 pm) |
Whew, that was a long game. Mentally at least - several second and third guessing myself. Thank you Chris for GMing especially considering the hidden nature and multiple prelim order sets from a certain Turkish player.
Good game everyone. Very close Paul, as Chris said 50/50. For what its worth, several turns you outguessed me and in Chris's guessing game a couple turns ago I had you winning with Munich in Fall '13. And a special thanks to the Penguin (France) for tying Paul up so long, and a waggle of the fist at Psychosis (Italy) for giving me fits throughout the middle game.
As to the variant - I think in Stab! the corners have a huge advantage - no press and no visibility means no one is coordinating against them. England especially because F/G need to split their build between fleets and armies.
I especially like the blind nature of this variant, we'll have to see how the next one goes. As Chris mentioned, I played very conservatively, so the non-traditional attacks were way cool to see. Special props for the early Russian attack on Germany.
Much fun, and thanks again for the game everyone.
Scott

Scott used a ton of skill throughout the game and just enough intuition in the final season to thwart England's final gambit. It was a fifty-fifty proposition in the last Fall season. Turkey had four units in defense against England's four units attacking. Would it be three on Munich and one on Berlin, or two for each? Scott guessed the latter and he guessed correctly, managing to bounce the English attacks in both supply centers and to claim his 18th dot in Munich while Berlin was left open.
Here are the orders that decided it all. (The complete set of orders can be found at the end of this message.)
England:
F Baltic Sea Supports A Kiel - Berlin
A Burgundy - Munich (*Bounce*)
A Kiel - Berlin (*Bounce*)
A Ruhr Supports A Burgundy - Munich
Turkey:
A Bohemia - Munich (*Bounce*)
A Munich - Berlin (*Bounce*)
A Silesia Supports A Munich - Berlin
A Tyrolia Supports A Bohemia - Munich
Tooth and nail to the end, I do believe that we would have had a stalemate if there had been no victory this year. As you can see from the attached maps, Turkey had just filled into Prussia, closing the last small gap in the two players' lines. I'm sure Paul is kicking himself for allowing Turkey to take Munich in the Spring, but hey, he took a calculated risk and it just didn't work. No shame there.

GM's EOG Statement
I was first introduced to Stab! a few years back by a gentleman GM named Stephen Worthy (henceforth SW -- Hi Stephen!) from the Cat23 Diplomacy group. I was completely hooked after one turn. I liked gunboat. I really liked the semi-blind aspect, which let me try to be tricky in the dark and which really engaged my deductive powers trying to figure out where everyone's units were. I did rather well at it, too, which no doubt contributed to my enjoyment.
So, here it is a few years later and I decide that not only is it time I gave back and GM a game, but it's also my chance to revive Stab! on a new forum and find out whether I can get a bunch of new players hooked on it, too. Judging from the quickness with which the game filled up there was clearly strong interest. Not only strong interest, but a very strong group of players. I remember telling Mike Sims that I had a veritable all-star lineup. Even our "new face," Jeff Krauss, was fast proving his worth (just check out his standing in WB10), so I was expecting a great game and I'm very happy to say I wasn't disappointed.
Of course the GM has a uniquely omniscient perspective in a game like Stab! It was great fun to be able to watch each player tackle the problem of how to maneuver about in the dark. Russia and England and France, to name three examples, took advantage of the dark to quickly expand and attack opponents in non-traditional ways. Others were very conservative. Turkey, for instance, was very cautious. He couldn't know this, of course, but he repeatedly spent turns supporting himself in place against imaginary threats. If he had pushed on more boldly, I think there was a good chance he could have won the game easily 4 or 5 years earlier. Scroll through the Realpolitik file and see if you agree.
I don't want to step on the toes of the players' EOGS so I'm not going to speculate too much more on individual play. In general terms, though, it was signficant, I think, that it was our two witches who thrived best. In a somewhat chaotic world, is it a coincidence that it was the two countries considered highest in defensive strength that dominated in this game?
Think about that for a minute, and then check out these statistics. Combining this result with the outcomes from the four games SW has run, these are our outcomes:
CAT23 926: Russian win (year ??)
CAT23 1004: Turkey, England, France draw (year ??)
CAT23 1232: Turkish win (1912, 18 SC)
CAT23 1233: Turkish win (1907, 20 SC)DC 324: Turkish win (1914, 18 SC)
That's three Turkish solos out of five games. I know, I know. It's not a large sample size, but still, it makes you want to look a little closer.
In 1233, Turkey was aided greatly by his neighbors Russia and Austria. The former opened by sending 3 of his 4 units towards Scandinavia, while the latter opened against Italy and Russia, ignoring Serbia and Greece altogether in 1901. Turkey roared out of the gate and was never checked as he rolled to a quick and decisive victory.
The other two Turkish victories were not that kind of win. Both were more typical examples of blind gunboat games, where play is understandably less efficient than in sighted games. However, it still seems fair to me to wonder whether or not that type of game environment might just offer inherent advantages to some countries. I'm sure we could have a wonderful debate on that very topic. (I know because I have.) My current feeling, though, is that rather than debate the topic, I'd like to see more data. I'd like to see more games completed AND ... I'd like to see more games played where the results given above are known ahead of time because, as we all know, we do adjust our games to compensate for the strengths and weaknesses of the various countries according to our knowledge of their past performance. My guess is that if I were to host another game of Stab! on DC within the next few months that Turkey would start the game with a giant bullseye on his back. And you know what? That's okay. If we play enough of these games we'll eventually build up a new set of expectations and strategies to deal with the situation that not all countries are created equal in Stab! land. Heck, they're not equal in standard Dip, so we've no right to complain if Stab! skews the balance in different ways than we're used to. Right?
Players EOG Statements
You can post your EOG statements directly to the game forum, or just email to all the people on this list and copy the dc324 forum as I've done on this message. If you choose to just reply to this message, please do us all the favor of deleting this original message text from your entry.
I know that Germany has already written his EOGS and I hope that more of you will follow suit. I'd love to hear about how you stabbed in the dark and tried to keep from getting stabbed. Comments on the game management (my part) and the game rules are welcome, too. As mentioned some time ago, I intend to expand quite a bit on Stab! entry the DipWiki. I'll need some time to collect all my notes, but when I do I will send them to all of you for your review and comments.
Farewell
I suppose as Diplomacy games go this one played out pretty quickly. Fourteen years in fifteen weeks is certainly no record, but I have to say it felt like longer. I can put out a typically gunboat adjudication in about 30 minutes. The BEST I ever did in Stab! was an hour, and typically it was 1.5 to 2 hours by the time I'd finished.
Rest assured that it was all a labor of love and I'd do it again. Not right away, but again. Thanks to all the players who did a wonderful job of keeping to -- and ahead of, in most cases -- the deadlines. One NMR in 14 years is pretty darn good, in my book. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did hosting.
Cheers,
Chris

| dc330: Sp39 Results! - dknemeyer (Aug 10, 2010, 9:54 pm) |
As 1939 dawns and the war rages evermore vicious in Europe, events are happening around the world:
On January 1 the Hewlett-Packard company is founded in California, U.S.A. While this is a generally minor occurrence some commentators speculate these fellow tooling around in their garage just might profoundly change the world of technology.
On January 6 Otto Hahn is publicly confirmed to have achieved nuclear fission.
In February Japanese forces capture Hainan Island, a spot of strategic importance to the British high command
In Bombay India on March 3 a diminutive man named Mohandas Gandhi begins a fast protesting British rule in China. Occupied with their war effort the British government pays him no mind.
In May Japans and the Soviet Union engage in border clashes around the Khalka River. Despite their severe losses back in Europe at the hands of the Poles and Turks, here the Soviets reign victorious.
On May 1 a new comic book super hero named Batman debuts
Pan-American Airways begins trans-Atlantic mail service with the launch of Yankee Clipper from Port Washington New York on May 20
The Polish-Turkey draw fails. There are no retreats so we roll right on to the fall! Upcoming deadlines are at the end of this note.

| DC 335 Spring 1902 Results - fencertim (Aug 10, 2010, 4:03 pm) |
Hey all, thanks again for getting the
orders in on a timely manner.
Couple of things to note:
1. Please label your orders as specified
in the house rules.
2. Writing orders, when ordering support
you need to indicate which unit you are giving support to and what that unit is
doing, for example: Munich support attack Bohemia. The order needs
to indicate who and where the attack is coming from. ESPECIALLY if there happens
to be more than one attack on that spot. In this example let’s say there
is a German unit in SIL, Italian unit in VIE and Russian unit GAL. SIL and GAL
both attack BOH. With the above order which unit is MUN supporting? I cannot
assume that it is supporting SIL to BOH. If it was Germany’s intention to
support SIL to BOH then the order needs to say MUN s SIL-BOH. Ideally I would
like to see A MUN s A SIL-BOH. If Germany decided to support the
Russian unit to BOH then the order would be MUN s GAL-BOH and again Ideally I would
like to see A MUN s RUSSIAN A GAL – BOH. If you have any questions please
let me know…obviously if I am addressing this there was an incident, one
order was determined to be ambiguous and another was poorly written but had
only one meaning.
3. We have a player that will be out of
communication from August 14th until the 22nd and
requested a pause in the action. There are no retreats due (Russian fleet in
the Black Sea was disbanded) so we move on to
Fall 1902 and that deadline will be August 24th at 21:00 GMT. Again,
if I get everyone’s orders marked FINAL before the deadline I will
adjudicate early.
Please check for errors, this one was a
little tricky. DPY and map are attached.

| FLWC f09 - Epic battles... - FuzzyLogic (Aug 10, 2010, 3:23 pm) |
Epic battles are fought at sea this round, focusing on the critical naval zones. After nearly a decade of dominance over the High Seas, we find the Trolls pushed out by the Samurai, aided by some heavy Pirate support... while in the West Mirianic it's the Knights who gain on the Nomads. Overall the Trolls and Knights walk away from this turn with the most to show for it, being up 2 each...
RETREAT!

BTW, still hoping to get Winter out. Somoene did mention they'd be away thru this Fri (on time), so I'm not going to put it out just yet.

Subject: FLWC f09 - Epic battles...
Epic battles are fought at sea this round, focusing on the critical naval zones. After nearly a decade of dominance over the High Seas, we find the Trolls pushed out by the Samurai, aided by some heavy Pirate support... while in the West Mirianic it's the Knights who gain on the Nomads. Overall the Trolls and Knights walk away from this turn with the most to show for it, being up 2 each...
RETREAT!
Troll F HIGH SEAS can retreat to Kahvi or Grendel or Tarsis or Sables Swamp.
