Returned from our brief vacation, we find ourselves living in the post-stab era.

There is one retreat:
Indian A Mongolia may retreat to Kunlun, Tibet, or OTB
In the Winter, India will have two disbands. Indonesia will have two builds. Everybody else chills.
Let's do both on Monday, okay? 10 CST. Then perhaps next Thursday for S1907? Good.

With the whole map standing by and watching, India forces the Arabian Sea. Truly, the whole map was standing by. Siberia bedazzles us with another stunning display of "How to Hold 401: Graduate Level Holding". Unassaulted, Japan's units also go nowhere. The non-ARS Persian and Indian units stand or stand off in various manners...
And then there's Indonesia, who safely orders A Borneo to Honk Kong (note: India failed to submit orders for the Honk Kong army, so it held). Indonesia also entered Laos and Bay of Bengal. Methinks I smell a rat. Mr. Schmidt, are you a rat? Perhaps future turns will tell.
There are two retreats, due tomorrow:
The Persian fleet in Arabian Sea may retreat to Yemen, Eastern African Sea, Red Sea, or OTB.
The Indian army in Hong Kong can retreat to Chongqing, Vietnam, or OTB.

| DC 260: W1905 - AceRimmer (Sep 09, 2009, 11:02 am) |
Alright. I'm back in the saddle, and winter adjustments are here. Japan's body is still warm (in fact, he's still alive), and yet I sense a wolf pack (perhaps with some recruitments and/or expulsions) is on the prowl again in search of fresh blood.
The S1906 deadline will be on Monday the 14th. Summer will be within 24 hours. If you happen to be going out of town from the 14th through the 22nd (just random, hypothetical dates), you may wish to submit conditional retreats...? Then, I think we'll have F1906 on Thursday the 24th if possible. Perhaps not until Friday the 25th.

| DC 260: F1905 - AceRimmer (Sep 04, 2009, 10:16 am) |
It's Kenny Rogers day in DC 260. "You gotta know when to hold 'em..." And hold 'em you do! Siberia divides his units into 4 pairs and orders them to "Hold your partner"... but nobody attacked. And then he moves to Ekaterinburg. Persia and Japan do a lot of holding still and supporting, too. Philippines doesn't hold, and it must disband. Is this a moral?
But not all is idleness. Here is a little game I like to play called "Summary Adjudication", in which I list only units that move. So, here's the shortened version of F1905:
I: F Cel-Phi
F EIO-Sum
J: F Phi dislodged/disbanded
N: A Tib-Kun
A Del-Pak
F Pak-Bom
F Bom-BoB
P: F Egy-EAf
S: A WSb-Eka
There are no retreats, so we move straight ahead to W1905. If I get orders quickly, I can adjudicate today. If not, it will have to wait until Wednesday, when I get back from Chicago (though it could happen sooner if we decide we're too ill to travel, but you don't want all the unpleasant details).
Adjustments:
India: Supp 10 Unit 9 Build 1
Indonesia: Supp 9 Unit 8 Build 1
Japan: Supp 2 Unit 3 Remove 1
Persia: Supp 10 Unit 10 Build 0
Siberia: Supp 9 Unit 9 Build 0

Pile up on the Autobahn? No. It is averted, as Japan chooses his retreat to Yellow Sea, thus allowing the Siberian retreat to Sea of Okhotsk.

Here's one quirk about diplomacy... if you have a whole chain of orders, and the very front order doesn't succeed, neither do all the rest. So, hypothetically, if you support yourself into Kazakhstan, but the defense there is supported, it MAY mean (five moves down the chain) that the Indian fleet in Sri Lanka does not occupy the Arabian Sea. Less dramatically, a small move like A War-Liv can leave Western Siberia shivering in a standstill.
The ongoing partition of Japan seems likely to provide another center to the SIN alliance, as Beijing and Korea are occupied.
There are two retreats and a RealPolitik correction. I need a retreat from Japan. Siberia *may* submit a retreat, but as there is only one option, I only need an order if you intend to retreat OTB. There is a definite error in the AsiaIV.map file, which places Hokkaido adjacent to Bering Sea but not to Honshu. So, if you are duplicating adjudications at home, your RealPolitik will misadjudicate the Japanese F Hok S F Yel-Hon. Therefore, let me be clear: Hokkaido IS adjacent to Honshu. It CAN support F Yel-Hon. Hokkaido IS NOT adjacent to Barents. [Note: you can edit the AsiaIV.map file using Notepad... the format is pretty self-explanatory; just make sure to add an adjacency to Honshu, remove an adjacency from Bering, and change the adjacency in Hokkaido].
Retreats:
Siberian F Honshu to Sea of Okhotsk (unless OTB is requested)
Japanese F East China Sea may retreat to Sea of Okhotsk or Yellow Sea or OTB
The retreats are due tomorrow. F1905 will be on Friday, just before the Labor Day weekend. I will be gone from Sat-Tues, just so you know.

| DC 260: The Butchering of Japan - AceRimmer (Aug 24, 2009, 8:23 am) |
The world converges upon Japan, and there's not much he can do about it. Shanghai is dislodged and must disband. Manchuria is dislodged and may retreat to Korea, Vladivostok, or OTB. Honshu just isn't defended.
Japan, please submit your retreat within 24 hours... better yet, within 2.4 hours (or however soon). Then, we'll have 24 hours for Winter 1904, and hopefully we can have S1905 on Friday.
For those peaking ahead to W1904, expect:
India (9 SCs): 1 build (from Pakistan)
Indonesia ( : 1 build (from Shanghai)
Siberia (9): 2 builds (from Manchuria and Honshu)
Japan (4): 2 disbands (assuming no OTB)
Persia (10): twiddle thumbs and wait for the Spring
I'll accept prelims in advance of the retreat

| DC 260: Reinstatement - AceRimmer (Aug 22, 2009, 11:52 am) |
I have received contact -- and orders -- from Jon Kudlick. So, according to my pronouncement from yesterday... I am reinstating him. Obviously, Jon gets a short-ish kind of tether for awhile. I'm sure he will do the prudent thing and *submit prelims* (prudent not just for him but for everybody).
I will not adjudicate until Monday, because... well, I don't have the Asian variant saved to my home computer. Just my work one. I should fix that...
Regardless, we're back to being five happy campers in a lifeboat built for fewer than that number. Somebody needs to get kicked out.
I have reset the game to 'Active' status on the website (from 'Recruiting', and I need to check with Mike Sims on how to un-abandon the Persian position. For the moment, the site is not letting me do that, and maybe I'm asking it to do something it was designed not to do. We'll figure it out. But for the players, all you need to know is that Persia has been rediscovered, and we're set to get going again on Monday.
Thanks for your patience,
Adam
Igeekfantasybaseball[Reply] |
| DC 260: What's up - AceRimmer (Aug 21, 2009, 2:11 pm) |
The deadline is now over 3 days overdue, and I do not have Persian orders. I did, however, hear from Jon on Tuesday or Wednesday. He informed me of things being chaotic and that he would have orders to me in half an hour. I have not heard from Jon since.
So, following my house rules, I am declaring Persia abandoned and will post the need for a replacement on the diplomaticcorp site.
Given the brief contact from Jon, I will re-accept him (as his own replacement, I suppose), provided he offers sufficient reason justifying that he will be reliable in future turns (really, an earnest, "I'll do better" should be enough).
Or, if somebody else takes over Persia first... they will become the new Shah. If there is a replacement player, I will give the new Persian a full week to infiltrate your alliances and make a diplomatic nest whence Persia can grow and prosper and hopefully even solo.
I appreciate your patience.

So, here's the thing. There's nobody absolutely abusing the system. But it feels like we never quite get a movement adjudication out on time. This time, it's Persia with his first NMR.
The NMR race, if you're curious, goes:
Siberia 0
Japan 1
Persia 1
India 2
Indonesia 2
So, I'll adjudicate when I hear from Persia. Timely orders tend to make for more entertaining games!

| DC 260 S1904 Adjudication - AceRimmer (Aug 11, 2009, 4:15 pm) |
Sucks to be Japan. Or so it would appear. India parries and Indonesia thrusts. And the Japanese fleet in South China Sea has no choice but to seek harbor in the Philippines. Meanwhile, the Persian-Indian frontier becomes all jumbled jivy with Indian units (at least temporarily) in two Persian centers. Only Siberia's true intentions remain shrouded in snow.
Personally, I think it's too early to declare a the new world order, but nobody wasted time creating new hostility in the post-Communist Asian world.
The only retreat was processed without alternatives, as described above (Japanese fleets and the Phillies).
So, we'll have F1904 next Tuesday! 15:00 GMT.

| DC 260: F1903 Mercy Killings - AceRimmer (Aug 05, 2009, 8:12 am) |
In little league baseball, games can end by mercy rule when one team is ahead by ten or more runs. In horse racing, they will shoot the horse if it is hobbled beyond capacity. And in Diplomacy, we eliminate the Communists. Both China and Russia become phantoms of history this season, and I think both eliminations are merciful.
For the rest of you, however, the fun is just beginning. Sure, Persia is slapping himself on the back for having three builds (only two usable on account of that army in Iran). And Siberia is now a vast Arctic Empire. Indonesia? Plus two. And while not growing, neither India nor Japan is a slouch. Yes, gentlemen, it's not always clear when the mid-game has arrived, but it is in this game. Welcome to the mid-game. Pick your friends. Pick your enemies. Time to dance.
I have taken the liberty of adjudicating the three Russia retreats off the board, and I am also taking the liberty of disbanding the Chinese and Russia units for the Winter.
That leaves us with:
India: Supp 8 Unit 8 Build 0
Indonesia: Supp 7 Unit 5 Build 2
Japan: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
Persia: Supp 11 Unit 8 Build 2

| Japan is late. An NMR is duly being assessed. Adjudication will occur once I have orders. Revisions will be accepted up until the point when I sit down to adjudicate. [Reply] |

Personally, I still cannot wrap my brain around the idea of Moscow as a coastal space. Really? Moscow?!? But the Persians make good use of its port, parking an entire armada there and (one fears) fatally weakening the center of the Russian position. What with the Siberian yetis invading Ural, the Czar had better start scrounging around in his Chest of Desperate Measures.
China is ousted from Chongqing, but I'm not sure his position is any worse. Indeed, he may survive into 1904.
Elsewhere, there is a fair amount of repositioning and some curious thrust and parry along the Indian-Persian border. Oh! for a Cyrus the Great to establish an Achaemenid Empire or an Akbar to constitute a New Mughal Empire. It would simplify things.
There are three retreats. One (F Ural) is a disband. The other two have only one viable retreat, so I am adjudicating:
Chinese Army Chongqing - Hong Kong
Indian Fleet Pakistan - Arabian Sea

China and Indonesia are still out wandering the pastures. So, both are getting an NMR, but per usual we won't adjudicate without their orders.
Get them in soon, please!

Just to let folks know, I'll be away Sturday to Saturday, so if I'm not answering your messages, it's because I'm in southern Germany
See you all when I get back, and hopefully I won't find any nasty surprises waiting for me.

It's a double adjudication! Since nobody put any conditions on their adjustments, I will go ahead and adjudicate both fall and winter. There are no surprises, except that Japanese build in Moscow... I didn't realize he could do that until I double-checked the rules...
Anyway, S1903 is on Tuesday at 1000 CST (1500 GMT).
