Subject: DC-272 Addendum to Rules


Folks,
Seems I forgot a couple of potentially very important arrows on the map. I've just checked the box set, and the following army movement IS allowed:

Between Corsica and Sardinia (the two islands in the NW of the map)
Between Messina and Otranto (Naples home SC in the south of the map)

Sorry about this folks - I'll add arrows to the map soon (hopefully today) and send out a new version.

I offer my congrats to Nathan, a well played game. Sorry about the NMR I thought the game was over in the summer for some reason. At the start of the game I looked for an ally against Scott but could not find one I trusted. I decided to ally with my old foe instead. He was a great ally and I blame our defeat on my not getting a unit past Yellow's lone army. Dark was wise to continually backup that army through out the game and not fall for the tempting open Yellow SC. Great game Jon but you could have lied to me at start of game then stabbed. This was not an open game but two blocks and one power left out in the cold. I wonder how a gunboat version would work out?

With warm regards, Hugh

First and foremost, thanks to Matt for a well-run game, and to everyone who played for their dedication to keeping the game on track.

On a macro level, I agree that the symmetry of the map may make fo a slightly less interesting game. However, working from positions of exactly equal strength and position, with exactly equal opportunity for growth, tactics and diplomacy, seems to focus the experience on the players and their execution of their respective strategies in these areas.

Without the solid alliance with Jon from the outset, the solo would not have occurred. I may owe much to Blue's well-fought stalemate that contained my ally's growth.

Packrat and I dismembered White quickly, which was the plan, and it seemed we were destined for conflict from that point on, though he made several perusasive attempts to get me to turn on Yellow - once I had given (apparently) just enough for him to turn his attention (and units) to helping Blue, the time came for the stab, which was not devastating but gave me the tactical leverage to push things past the tipping point.

As always, Packrat's defense was well played until he chose to discontinue it. I've thoroughly enjoyed the variant and playing with you all, and am very pleased to have earned my first solo on DC.

Nathan

So it's not going to come as a surprise to anyone at this point, but I still offer my hearty congratulations to our Dark player Nathan for pulling off the 12 center solo (one more than required!).

I also want to thank all of you for an almost perfect game in terms of submission of orders and the such; we only had a couple graces used and a couple NMR's (Blue in fact suffered one on this final turn), but in general you guys enabled me to keep this game running smoothly.

I'd love to see EOG statements from each of you including your thoughts on both our individual game and the map in general. Personally I found the map intriguing when I first saw it, which is why I chose to GM this game. However, as the game progressed I found myself a little bored by the map and its symmetry. However, it obviously does do its job of eliminating any complaint about unequal starting positions.

Again congrats to Nathan, and I'm sure I'll see you all in future DC games. You all of course are welcome in any game that I GM; be on the lookout for some sort of gunboat full press game soon!

Matt

Just a thought - since you are getting a replacement why not let him/her
decide what to do with the army in Kiel? It can retreat to DEN. One
thing I've noticed with RP is that if you don't enter moves for a country
RP automatically disbands dislodged units. And since Germany isn't CD'd
then the new German player should be allowed to retreat the unit.

Folks,
I'm sorry to say that Thomas has NMRed again. This means I'm going to put the game up for a replacement Germany. Sorry, Thomas, but I tried to give you a reminder.
I got one no vote and one fail-to-vote, which counts as a no (on top of the NMR vote), so the AI draw fails. We will play on (once I find that replacement.)
Two disbands this season, one due to a lack of retreat options, and one due to Germany's NMR. We'll be able to roll into fall once a replacement joins us.
