France buffs up its navy while Germany and Turkey go with armies;
removals see the disappearance of English troops and Russia abandons
its supply centers.
Spring 1905 is due this Thursday, July 3, at 9 pm eastern.
Mike and Joe: Unless you request otherwise (by replying to this email
saying so), I am going to remove you two from the email list for all
future emails for this game so as to not clutter your inboxes. You
will receive the final adjudication so that you know the outcome of
the game and can submit and end-of-game statement. Thanks for
playing, and hope to see you in future games.

| Winter Blitz - Your Opinions Needed - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Hi players and GMs of the 2008 Winter Blitz!
Many thanks to YOU for participating in and making our first Tournament of this type at Diplomaticorp a resounding success. With the smoke cleared and the battle-wreckage hauled away, we find ourselves already preparing for the Blitz of 2009. Your opinions, as veterans of the first Tourney, are of utmost importance to help us find out what worked, what didn't, and above all - what we can improve for the next round. Any thoughts, comments and especially any criticisms you could share with us would be very gratefully received.
Please do us a favour and complete the following questions so that we can make the next Winter Blitz even better. =)
1. Did you enjoy the Winter Blitz Tournament?
2. Was the style and format of the games what you expected it to be when you signed up to play?
3. Did you find the GMs to be competent and fair?
4. Was the schedule and pacing of the games suitable?
5. What were your overall impressions of the tournament as a whole?
6. If you could change anything about the way the tournament was run, what would it be?
7. Do you have any other thoughts that are not covered by the above questions?
8. Would you consider participating in the 2009 Blitz?
Thanks very much for taking the time to provide us with your thoughts. All of your comments will be taken into account when planning next years Tournament. Thank you once again for participating this year, and we sincerely hope to see you in the WInter Blitz 2009.
Best regards,
The Diplomaticcorp Team[Reply] |

| DC161 Knights Who Say Ni! - Fall 832 - Dead Parrot - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Look my lad, I've had just about enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased. And when I bought it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out after a long squawk.

Hey there guys,
Action all around this round as the Anglo-Saxons complete their conquest of the Bretons home centers only to find their own home centers slowly being annexed in turn. The Swedes land another unit onto the island, and the Scots defiantly repel the Norse invaders.
There were two retreats needed, but both only had one option so I took the liberty. If either the Bretons or Norse would rather retreat OTB, please just let me know and I will adjust. Otherwise, we'll set the Winter 832 deadline for Wednesday, July 2nd (11:59 PM GMT).
Any errors, just let me know. Cheers folks!

Summer adjudication:

Send in your orders asap. I may be able to squeeze in Autumn before I leave...

25 sets of prelim orders in, and that’s great! Thank you to those players… prelim orders make my job easy – but that also means I’m missing 10 sets!
Remember it’s a proven fact that if you turn in prelims often and early that you will do better in school, get more promotions at work, and win the lottery with a higher frequency -- even if you don’t play it. Keep that in mind. Turn in prelims.

| DC191 A Study In Baltic - Spring 1902 - A Case Of... - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
The letter had been announced as from Mr. Holmes and Watson eagerly took it up to see the contents. The writing was in his friends clear, crisp hand, and as usual was direct and straight to the point.
'Watson,
The difficulties you described in acquiring passage to the Baltic were present but easily overcome by a man of my trifling abilities. Forgoing the usual passenger lines, I acquired a cabin in the freighter Calhammer bound for Oslo and leaving on Tuesday. The trick will be in finding passage back, especially with the merry Mrs. Watson in tow. However, as I will be accompanying you I have no doubt that we will find something quite suitable at the time.
Yours,
Holmes.
PS - The news of the latest Polish excursions into southern Russia is quite exhilarating. One has to wonder what face and identity our Polish friends displayed in order to get the good Tsar to trust them to such a degree... '
Watson folded the letter, and sat to write one of his own to his wife - letting her know that they would soon be on their way... With Holmes aide, he was sure that they would be able to spirit her home from the Baltic in no time.

Finland and Russia continue to stymie each other while the Poles mount a daring expedition into Riga. Meanwhile, the Swedes look to their southern border, while at the same time managing to keep eyes in the north as well.
No retreats are required, so we move right on into Fall 1902. With one of our members currently on vacation, we'll set the deadline for a little longer than a week and have all moves in by Tuesday, July 8th (11:59 PM GMT).
Please let me know if you spot any errors. Cheers!

Hi,
Listing the players by country is a feature we've considered putting in place, but are still consdiering the pros and cons of. What do people think of this? Is this an invasion of privacy to allow one to sort for all the players in say Louisiana (and assume they're in or close to NO / BR) and be able to then email them to set up local games?
Would there be an interest to find local players for ftf games, or do most places already have a local gaming club?
Suggestions?[Reply] |

Hi Guys.
It was a pleasure playing this variant with all of you.
Here's what I think I remember, if I haven't got it quite right, forgive me as there's always alot going on at the house of Bristol.
I decided that from the outset I would try to be bold or at least do the unexpected where I could. The map offered equal odds of early loss or early gain depending on what happened to the left or right of each of us (either direction of attack were viable for early gain or stalemate), so I tried to choose whatever course would might fiirst advance my position and widen my options of what centres I could take. Fairly early on that strategy paid off when I was able to steal an Eastern centre early when it appeared I'd settle for an open centre close to home. The centre close to home came directly afterwards and the numbers game started to work in my favour. From then on I decided to "swap" centres whenever it advanced my position to the centre of the map. Not that I was actually swapping with just one power, as long as my centre total and units grew or at least stay the same, I would take advantage of my newly gained position in the centre, causing unexpected problems for each of the other powers. In doing so I gave up centres near home but gained more units as I went along. Giving up centres close to home meant a running cat and mouse battle with the West, but as I grew new units I was able to push him off of more widespread centres than he had units to defend. North and East battled, and as North began to get an upper hand I made sure I captured the undefended North centre on his flank, before I worked on finishing the West - if North finished East too soon he might grow too big for me to handle. Near the end it appeared that some of the other powers were trying to anticipate and support each others move against me. In this gunboat game with it's cutthroat kind of map, it came too little too late and I was able to solo.
Hard to admit this after putting in the time and effort, but the whole game would have been dramatically different if the first moves had turned more southward. I still think the bold style would be key, and may have won it for me - but after a much longer game. I was expecting to conyoy my army at some time to one of the islands, but West never really gave me a chance. Did anybody convoy? Was this supposed to be a convoy crazy variant?
Thanks to Former Trout for running a fast paced game, one of many he always has on the go. I wonder where do you find the time man for so many, but I'm glad you do.
Goodnight Mister and Missus Amurica, and all the ships at sea.
Rob "The Chicken Of Bristol".

Aye, Spongebob be found in the clutches of the South as with the gain of the two Western centers the South Wind declares his Captaincy. For the rest - the grog!! (And not beforetimes, methinks!!)
Yes - my apologies for getting this out a day late. Severe thunderstorms are doing weird, wacky things with our power-grid, and I'm not actually sure I'll be able to get this email completed before it goes out again...

Congratulations to Rob, the Chicken of Bristol for his first DC solo win. Thanks to Garry Bledsoe for coming in and running the helm for the Northern ships. And a hearty 'good game' goes to Jerry Todd of the East and Steve Caponigri of the West.
Cheers everyone. See you in the next one...

First off, Thanks to Trout for running this game.
I started the game off thinking that it would split into two halves, me(west) against South, and North against East. So, I felt my first job would be to contain the South, which I thought I could do if he moved east to get the centers on that island there. I did pretty well, I thought, for the first few turns, but then Rob had a couple turns in a row where he guessed my orders correctly, and so he pushed ahead of me. After that, I mostly tried to be a nuisance to him and slow him down until North could come to my rescue, but because of his slow, and army heavy start, Garry really wasn't in a position to. I did manage to support one of his fleet moves, so that's always exciting in a gunboat game.
Well-played game to Rob, and everyone else too.
Steve-West
