DC267 First Playtest Observations - pieandmash   (Dec 28, 2009, 4:18 pm)
comment below next to Matts.
Also I enjoyed this map and the freeze rules- I say stick with them as they are, it adds a strategic level of complexity.
As for EOG statement- I was in a position to take down Denmark early and take the lead when USA attacked me and continued to harrass me throughout the game, which tied me up. Very frustrating as the USA barely communicated.
So tied up i was until USA suddenly turned on Russia giving me some room. My team up with Denmark v Russia/norway worked well- and there was a point where i could and should have stabbed Denmark, which would have dragged the game out- hopefully to a draw, but with Christmas coming and the wife with a slipped disk i need this game over!

Otherwise a great bunch of players and well done to all who stuck it out (including USA).
Not forgetting Matt for his hard work- many thanks
Nice one on the solo. Happy days

Subject: DC267 First Playtest Observations

So here's the list of potential changes (with comments).  Feel free to comment on any/all of them, but your input would be especially appreciated on those marked with a *.

1. Name changes because I'm an idiot:
  -It's Sea of Okhotsk not Sea of Okhtosk
  -It's MacKenzie, not McKenzie, and I'm also going to make it MacKenzie Bay instead of        MacKenzie Delta for geographical accuracy

OK

2. Builds:
  It was pointed out that Canada's ability to build in Western Canada puts an unfair burden on the USA to occupy Western Canada just to block the build site.  Also, it's almost impossible for Norway, Denmark, and the USA to put fleets in the other ocean, respectively.  Both of these will be solved by implementing chaos builds (and removing the Canadian build site in Western Canada).

Agree on western canada but only if you have chaos builds. Problem is this means the USA can easily defend its coastal sc.

*3. Russia
      I don't like Russia having a Pacific fleet to start because I think it makes it hard for Russia and the USA to cooperate, which I want to be a viable strategy.  The same is true with respect to Norway in the Atlantic.  Thus my inclination is to give Russia 3 armies.  However, I cannot decide whether to put the third army in Magadan or the Trans-Siberian Railroad, as I think the latter gives more flexibility.  The question is whether it is too much...

it will slow russia expansion and push his focus into the arctic which is good i think, too little of the game was played in the centre- because of the slow pace crossing it.

*4. Time and Ice
  I think having certain territories melt and freeze EVERY season disrupts the flow of the game too much.  I see two options.  I could spread the time out more, so there are the equivalent of 4 standard years per Arctic year; each season would be a month, and therefore territories would remain in the same state for a whole "year."  Alternatively I could keep the time scale and change the freeze rules so that changing territories are frozen for winter and spring and water for summer and fall (no differences within transforming territories).

the latter is my preference.

5. Norwegian Sea
  I think the Norwegian Sea as it stands now is too powerful of a space because it borders all 4 of Norway's most natural centers AND 2 of Denmark's.  I think I'm going to split it into North Norwegian Sea and South Norwegian Sea, with the line running between Greenland Sea and Oslo.  Or Tromso?

hmmmm makes it impossible to defend having 2

6. The Middle
  A couple players commented that the middle of the board takes too long to get across.  So I think I'm going to combine Men, CAP, and AWL into one big permanently frozen space called Central Arctic Ocean.

yep agree

7. Bering Strait
  The five way arrow is going away to be replaced with a normal land bridge.  The net change is the elimination of Sew/EBS and Kam/WBS connections.
yep

*8. The Gulf of Bothnia
  I'm considering adding the Gulf of Bothnia as a space.  I would also add a canal on the Lapland/Europe border, giving Archangel two coasts as well as Lapland.  NAO would also be expanded to border Lapland.

yep

9. More NAO
  I might remove the border between NAO and Nain (Labrador Sea would border the edge of the board).

nah leave it as is. works well

I think that's it.  Again please comment to your hearts content, and also feel free to suggest other things.  The thing I learned most from this playtest is that the variant definitely needs some work.

dc267 Denmark EOG - Lequinian   (Dec 27, 2009, 8:04 pm)
Happy Holidays All, and Matt thanks for running a great game. 

Interesting board as is, but will be happy to see how some of the suggested changes work out.

2) I know you had no stars, but I'm not a fan of chaos builds on such a small map.  Perhaps doing away with Canada's ability and having 2 homes SC per country (Pevek / Magadan, Anchorage / Barrow, Churchill / Yellowknife, Nuuk / Station Nord, Oslo / Tromos) and allowing a pre-first turn build order (that way players can decide armies vs fleets).

3) Trans Siberian would be very strong as a Russian home center.  I think Russia needs a fleet, if only for self defense.

4) The freezing takes a little getting use to.  Whether the time frame is monthly or on/off, I think a unified map would make planning easier.  The constant freezing allowed me to throw away fleets for armies (and armies for fleets) a couple times in the game, which made up for the two unconnected oceans issue.

5/6/8/9) I'd have to see the new map to give any feedback.  NorSea is super strong and Norway has to grab and keep it early.  Splitting just doesn't seem natural, but that may be the amount of time looking at this version of the map - perhaps if TOR became Britain.  MEN/CAP definitely should be combined, but AWL I think is good separate.  An avenue from NAO around to Europe would be a great dynamic for Norway/Denmark.  I think NAO touching Nain is fine, it makes the space hotly contested by 3 powers and was an interesting dynamic through this game.

7) Great idea.

*) Maybe think about renaming Norway to Greenland.

EOG thoughts...

Lots of fun and can't believe I won giving the opening.  Turn one Russia convinced me to sneak stab Norway out of the gate.  If all had gone according to plan, Denmark would have been set for early/mid-game.  Unfortunately, several things conspired against that plan.  First, Russia was manipulating me masterfully and had no intention of helping me against Norway - by the time I realized, I'd already stabbed Norway (doh!).  Second, not wanting to let the cat out of the bag, I was circumspect with Canada, leading to his distrust.  Third, Norway decided (rightfully so) to cover himself from an over-eager Norway.  So by the end of the first year, I was with one build instead of the 3 imagined and two aggravated neighbors.

Spring 2011 was tight and really looked like I would be purple paste between Canada and Norway, but the American push in to Western Canada pulled the Canadian back and Russia's race across the center forced Canada to defend himself.  This allowed some trickery around the NorSea and a constant warring front between Norway and Denmark.  Around this time, Canada, Norway, and I found that we were all being manipulated by Russia, but were unable to get over our initial distrust and several deals fell through at the last minute (to Canada and Norway's credit they fair warned that they would not be following through).

Spring 2012 found Canada losing ground and a cease-fire was negotiated - which allowed us to respond to issues on other borders.  Freed up and no alliance in sight, I renewed the attack on Norway with the intention of getting around him and hitting Russia.  Unfortunately, by the end of the year, Russia had sufficient forces down south to help Norway repel me.

2013 saw Russia turn on Norway, Norway ally himself with me for a survival, and a Russian leadership change.  Russia was in a strong, but vulnerable position and unfortunately, a few NMRs reduced his power and even with another Russia leadership change Russia never recovered.  From there it was a race to the end.

I'd like to thank everyone for a great game, Matt for running it, and especially Micheal for stepping in to a tenuous position (he still stuck it out even though we were unwilling to negotiate an end to the Canada / Denmark / Russia war).  Look me up in another DC game, be happy to play with/against you again!

Scott

DC267 Summer 2015 Results - Danish Solo! - MattTheLesser   (Dec 25, 2009, 1:36 pm)
Well Scott of Denmark looks under the tree this morning to find...a
solo! Though it's not a surprise to anyone at this point, Scott has
finally assimilated his 14th center and thus achieved a very well
deserved solo victory. Congratulations to Scott!

I also want to recognize the sustained efforts of all our other players;
Max of Canada finishes in 2nd place with 9 centers while Jerry of the
USA, Kevin of Norway, and Michael of Russia all tie for 3rd place with 1
center. I find it especially impressive that Jerry and Kevin were able
to survive for so long with one unit, and of course special thanks goes
to Michael for stepping in as a replacement.

As you all know, this was the first playtest of Arctic Diplomacy, and I
thought it went very well. The game definitely slowed down towards the
end, both in terms of on-board action and of progression in real-time,
the latter of which was mostly my fault and for which I apologize
greatly. That said, I learned a lot about the variant from the
playtest, and definitely plan to make some changes for the next
go-round. I will send another email soon (probably tomorrow) listing
all the potential changes and would love it if you all could comment on
any or all of their potential effects in your EOG statements. So once
you all have had a look at that, please do send and EOG commenting not
only on how this game in particular went, but also on the variant as a
whole.

Again thanks for a great playtest, and congrats to Scott for the
well-deserved solo!

Well the inevitable seems upon us now, but we've got one more season to
go. I'll make it a short one and I promise to get the adjudication out
on time if you all promise to send me one last set of orders; I'd hate
to have to record NMR's on the last turn. There are no retreats, so the

DC267 Winter 2014 Retreats/Adjustments - MattTheLesser   (Dec 16, 2009, 1:44 pm)
So the solo proposal was once again voted down - it looks like this one
is going to get played out until the very end. Russia opts not to
retreat to Magadan but heads to Pevek and the Trans-Siberian railroad,
which then results in the disbandment of A Trans-Siberian Railroad and A
Kamchatka. Denmark builds F Nuuk, A Station Nord, and A Torshavn, and
Canada builds A Churchill and A Yellowknife.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is little, if any,
negotiation going on at this point so from this point forward I'm going
to set shorter deadlines and treat all orders as final unless otherwise
specified. The next deadline, for Spring 2015, will be this Friday,
December 18, at 9 pm eastern. If anyone has a problem with this just
let me know.

DC267 Winter 2014 Results - MattTheLesser   (Dec 13, 2009, 12:19 am)
Well it's not over yet, but it's damn close as Denmark is now at 13
centers, one short of a solo. Canada is doing his best to make a push
as he how has 9, and amazingly, our once board leader Russia has
dropped, pending a retreat, all the way to 2. And the Norwegian and
American fleets are still alive...quite the accomplishments in and of
themselves.

There are two retreats, both from Russia. A Laptev Sea may retreat to
East Siberian Sea, Pevek, or OTB, and A Yakutsk may retreat to Magadan,
Pevek, or the Trans-Siberian Railroad.

Also, there is yet again a proposal for a Danish solo. Please send me
your votes for this proposal and, if necessary, your retreats and/or
adjustments (see below adjudication), by this Monday, December 14, at 9
pm eastern. Lately proposals have been failing because people have not
been voting; please make sure to vote this time!

Not my finest adjudication as two more errors to the map have been

in Northwest Greenland is an army, not a fleet. The corrected map is
attached. The deadline for Winter 2014 remains Thursday at 9 pm eastern.

DC267 Fall 2014 Results CORRECTED (dc267) Lequinian Dec 06, 11:55 am

Hey guys,

Two errors on the last adjudication were pointed out to me soon after I sent them.  First, I failed to use the most recent set of Danish orders, so the adjudication and map have been corrected to account for these.  The net result is different locations of a few Danish units and the disbanding of the Russian fleet in Archangel.  Second, another end-game proposal, for a Danish solo, was put forth, so please include your votes for this with your orders for Winter 2014, which will now be due this coming Thursday, December 10, at 9 pm eastern.

Not my finest adjudication as two more errors to the map have been
brought to my attention. There is a Danish fleet in Tromso and the unit
in Northwest Greenland is an army, not a fleet. The corrected map is
attached. The deadline for Winter 2014 remains Thursday at 9 pm eastern.

DC267 Summer 2014 Adjustments - MattTheLesser   (Nov 29, 2009, 11:01 pm)
Sorry this is coming a bit late; I got caught up in the hustle and
bustle of Thanksgiving. In short, Russia retreats F Lapland - Archangel
and A Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge OTB, and then Canada builds F Western
Canada, Denmark builds F Nuuk, and Russia builds A Pevek. The next
deadline, for Fall 2014, is this Thursday, December 3, at 9 pm eastern.

DC267 Summer 2014 Results - MattTheLesser   (Nov 23, 2009, 8:12 pm)
More of the same this season as Denmark continues to push west,
dislodging Russia from Lapland and Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge and claiming
Western Siberia, putting the Danes just three centers short of a solo.
The Canadians and Americans also pick up a center each, although the
latter, with no home centers, will still only have the one fleet with
which to work come the fall. Norway also manages to remain alive after
the Danes decide they prefer the Kara Sea to the Barents Sea.

There are two retreats, both for Russia: Russian F Lapland may retreat
to Anchorage or OTB, and Russian A Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge may retreat to
Arctic Wasteland or OTB. These retreats and the Summer 2014 adjustments
(see below the adjudication) will be due this Wednesday, November 25, at
9 pm eastern.

Also, the two-way draw proposal was voted down and we have a new
proposal for a Danish solo. Votes on this proposal are not due until
the deadline for Fall 2014 (most likely Monday, November 30), but if I
have votes from everyone by Wednesday I will post the results with the
adjustments.

DC267 - A New Russian Leader! - CPT23862   (Nov 16, 2009, 7:31 pm)
Matt,
Absolutely the right call to get a new Russia into place. I apologize to all for my prolonged absence. I was away on business in Romania, and the satellite internet I was promised never worked. So for the past three weeks I have been disconnected, which was unfortunate. I'm stepping back into a heavy workload, with more Romanian partnership ventures in the next month, so I fully support the change.
Best of luck to Michael.
All, sorry for the delay. This is an interesting variant and I will check back later to see how it all ended.

Cheers,
Bill

DC267 More Issues - MattTheLesser   (Nov 15, 2009, 11:27 am)
Hey guys,

So the replacement spot has been up for a few days now and no one seems
to be biting. I've had a suggestion to put Russia in civil disorder so
that we can finish the game, and I am inclined to do this. However,
ultimately this is your game and thus your input is obviously valuable;
please let me know if you have a serious objection to this course of
action. If I have not received any strong objections by tomorrow
evening I will officially put Russia in CD and set the Summer 2014
deadline for this Thursday, November 19, at 9 pm eastern.

DC267 Spring 2014 Results - MattTheLesser   (Nov 05, 2009, 10:43 am)
So, despite my wish for the game to not be affected by NMR's, I can wait
no longer. I never received moves from Russia, and thus all the gray
units hold. Bill, please contact me ASAP to let me know that you are
still in the game by sending me your retreats (see below). If I do not
hear from you by tomorrow I am going to seek another replacement.

Consequently it is a tough year for Russia as he loses one unit to the
melting ice and has two others dislodged. However, Russia's loss is
everyone else's gain, as Canada secures the Yukon, the USA reclaims
Magadan, Norway sails into the White Sea, and Denmark finally gets off
of Novaya Zemlya, setting up camp in the Ural Mountains.

There are, as previously noted, two retreats: Russian F White Sea may
retreat to Archangel, Kara Sea, or OTB, and Russian A Yukon may retreat
to Barrow, Juneau, or OTB. These retreats are due tomorrow, Friday Nov.
6, at 9 pm eastern.

Also, we have another proposal for a Danish solo. Your votes for this
are technically due with your orders for Summer 2014 (most likely
Wednesday), but I will announce the results early if all votes are in.

Guys,

First I must offer my sincerest apologies for this most recent delay; to
be completely honest I do not have a particularly good excuse other than
that I've been very busy and it just slipped my mind. However, I am
still missing orders from one player who has not yet used his 24 hour
grace period as allowed by my house, so I am officially granting that
starting now. Spring 2014 WILL be adjudicated tomorrow night at 10 pm
eastern, with no exceptions.

eastern. I will NOT be adjudicating early unless everyone marks their
adjustments as final; for those of you who have already sent orders I
will use them if I do not hear from you again, but I will not consider
them final unless you tell me they are. Spring 2014 will follow next
Wednesday, October 28, at 9 pm eastern.

Andrew (Russia) has said that he no longer feels he has enough time
to devote adequate attention to the game, and thus has asked for a
replacement. Therefore the game will be paused while a replacement
is sought; I don't expect it to take too long since the DC Light
Brigade is pretty good at filling replacement spots quickly.
