Serbia was among the first of the breakaway Ottoman provinces in
Europe, and emerged independent only to find itself the pawn of
Austrian and Russian influences, who dominated her political arena,
even after the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbia in 1882. Beset
on all sides, Serbia has always been the front line of divide between
East and West in Europe, and this division - extending to her culture,
demographics, religion, and even loyalties - has undermined what was
otherwise a powerful and fiercely independent people.

And so it is with Garry here - fiercely independent, constantly
managing the foreign influences that threaten to destroy him. Though
the Austrians take with one hand (Sarajevo), they give with the other
(cutting support of Ancona). Garry loses Bitola and Beograd, but
gains Ancona and Sofia, a move which seems to have been unexpected by
the Bulgarians. So he ends the season with no losses, against all
odds. The Ottomans repel the invasion of Istanbul, but lose Salonika
to the invading Bulgarian forces. Whether they will be able to hold
it against rapidly advancing Greek forces in the region remains to be
seen.

Only Adam has retreats to order here (Ottoman A Salonika has no
retreats, and is destroyed). A Ancona and A Bologna may both only
retreat to Firenze - so one or both of them must disband. Adam -
please broadcast your retreats to the group as soon as possible
please.

FALL 1862 DEADLINE:

THURSDAY, 25 FEBRUARY 2010, 1700 EST. I will do my level best to
publish results as soon as possible after this deadline - please
remember to turn in prelims as soon as possible after this

on the player negotiations also!

Hallo zusammen,

after four years of pan-European warfare, it is finally time to say goodbye to one player. Germany has lost Hamburg and hence lacks the resources to sustain the last remnants of the once proud Reichswehr. Matt, thanks for guiding the first German republic through dire times. I hope you shall submit an end-game report to me before too long.

I suppose few might have guess that Stalin would remain longer in power than his German counterpart. While the Soviets have lost their Finnish bastion, there remains a route of retreat into Sweden, so survival is as yet an option.

Another power that certainly drew a short straw this fall is France. The loss of her overseas empire and Breton port sorely reduces French resources. And the Tricolore might soon also no longer fly over Switzerland.

That leaves us roughly speaking with Britain owning the North-West, Poland the North-East and Turkey the South-East map quadrants. The South-West remains rather "messy" by comparison.

In another development, the Turks have marched into Kazakhstan. Is that a sign of deteriorating Polish-Turkish relations? Stay tuned...

I ought to remind you guys that Egypt is a bi-coastal province. The Suez Canal merely runs though Suez proper as noted in the variant rules.


Retreats/Adjustments Orders are due no later than Saturday, 6 PM CET. Not sure whether I'll get round to adjucating on Saturday, but definitely can fit it in on Sunday.

Liebe Grüsse,

Charles

Dan,
 
I'm not sure what sort of reaction you were
expecting to get from me.  I am perty sure I have done
nothing that was not in my House Rules . . . except to try
and accomodate all of you.  By all means, the
DiplomaticCorp site is always on the look out for new
GM's, feel free to take a wack at GM'ing
yourself.

 
Best Regards,
             Darryl Good

DC270: German Solo!




All,

I have not heard from Dan (Austria); either in response to
the public vote for a German Solo or with order for the
current season.  However, as Dan has now missed two
deadlines, house rules are that I replace him.  Still, due
to the fact that Germany can occupy two supplies this season
. . . and I see no way a new Austria would be able to change
the out come, I am reluctant to get a replacement just to
end the game the way we all know it will end anyway.


Therefore, I have decided to remove Austria from the game
and call it a unanimous vote for the German Solo. 
Congratulations, Joe on the victory.

At this point it is of interest to hear how the game
developed for each of you in End-of-Game statements.  If
you are not familiar with this, please take the time to
review the game (I have attached the dpy file for your use,
or you can see the progression of the game by using the
slide show feature on the DiplomaticCorp site).  Try to
remember where key actions occurred during the game and
explain why you did what you did . . . when you did it (I
hope that makes sense).  Also, try to view things from the
view of the other players who will be interested in why you
stabbed them when you did . . . or why you did not follow a
particular agreement or another.  If you were with this
game from the beginning, remember that some action you took
early in the game will be of interest to others as well; so,
don't just look at the last few years but all the way
back to the beginning . . . if possible.  If you are a
replacement player, please explain the situation when you
joined the game and what influenced you to play the way you
did . . . or didn't.


Congratulations again to Joe on the German Solo victory and
I look forward to reading your EOG Statements.

Darryl (GM: DC270)

Hey everyone and welcome to this, the three-hundred and fourth game of
Diplomaticcorp Diplomacy! (boy seems like I just put out one of these
starts yesterday)... This is Camel Spotting! Played on the outstanding
Ancient Med map. If you've received this email and you thought you were
signing up for Camel Speaking, that's the next door down. Camel Spitting,
unfortunately, was cancelled for reasons of liability.

Our goal here in this game is to spot camels. Lots of them. Tons. Well,
maybe a few. Ok to be fair, there are no camels to be spotted anywhere in
the game. But we'll still have fun trying. Along the way, we may pick up
or lose some centers here and there and if someone happens to gather 18 -
we'll call them the winner! Sound good?

Ancient Med is one of my favorite maps. It is such a simple design, yet
perfectly balanced in every way. It's got a very neutral start, in that no
particular power is really at a disadvantage like say Italy in the Standard
game... each power faces two neighbors, one to either side, and two other
powers further across the sea.

In most of my games I tend to do completely random assignments, and given
none of you have played this map before I see no reason not to do the same
here! So courtesy of some help from random.org, here we go!

Let's set the first deadline for next Thursday March 4, at 3pm Central US
time (2100 GMT).
That's 1 week from today.

For this first turn, prelims are required. That is, you have to send me
something asap, by early next week at the latest so I get something on file
for you. Most of you will know that I don't send out reminders, and once
we're out of the first year, NMRs will just fall how they do. Expect
adjudications to be timely - no fluffy delays, extensions, grace periods,
etc. Even tho you probly dont know what you want to do yet, just pick your
best guess and send in prelims -every turn- It will save you someday for
when you get stuck in meetings, your internet goes out, or aliens land in
your back yard and steal your camels and you dont get to the game when you
thought you would. In almost every case, it's better to have turned
something in early so your units dont doodle about and hold for the turn.

I think that's about it for now! If you have any questions shout them out,
and feel free to send out an intro or whatever for your country.
Enjoy,
-mike
