dc384 Autumn 1909 results; Italian solo victory; e... - bschoner   (Sep 05, 2011, 7:48 pm)
Congratulations, Gerry - very well played!
The view from Paris:
As always, I started by communicating with everyone, to get a feel for
the lay of the land and open the diplomatic lines as early as
possible. Grant was the first to respond (in fact, I think he emailed
me first). While he seemed very enthusiastic and friendly, he was also
a bit more aggressive than I've usually seen in email Dip; he seemed
anxious to attack someone - anyone - as long as he could get an ally
to do it with. Gerry was friendly and personable, and seemed quite
experienced (as the war would eventually prove!); we agreed to leave
each other a friendly DMZ, and left open plans for mutual cooperation
in the future that would bear fruit (up to a point). Sean was friendly
enough, and definitely seemed like someone I could work with. Luke,
unfortunately, missed out on the furious first weekend of emails; by
the time I heard back from him, my plans were already pretty much set,
and there wasn't really much he could do to change my mind. To be
honest, though, he would have had a tough job anyway; as France, I
have never seen an alliance with England that didn't end with France
being stabbed, so I was predisposed to take him out as quickly as
possible. Chris and Vinny responded politely, but we didn't have much
to discuss in the early stages.
After getting the lay of the land, my initial plan was to attack
England with the help of Germany and Russia. That would let Grant get
some of his aggression out and remove an immediate threat to me. It
would also let Russia move some units west without unduly alarming
Grant, who (at the time) both Sean and I felt would be a bit of a
loose cannon. Once England was down, Sean and I were planning to take
out Germany, who would hopefully have overextended himself by going
after England.
The first part of the plan went swimmingly. Luke didn't seem to
suspect a thing, and the initial attack on England gained ground
quickly. The attack bogged down after a while, though, and by 1903,
Grant had begun to worry (rightfully) about Russia's advances on his
border. As the situation evolved, it became increasingly apparent that
Grant was willing to follow my lead on tactics, and when Sean had to
drop out of the game and a new Russia took over, I decided to change
my initial plan and side with Germany against Russia. (Note that this
had nothing to do with Matthias personally; he was friendly and a good
negotiator, but the game situation made it clear that Germany was a
better ally for me in the immediate term.) Once England was finally
knocked out in 1904, Grant and I could concentrate our efforts on
Russia (and eventually Austria, who decided to go after some German
SCs himself)...and then I stabbed Grant. I felt quite bad about it,
actually, but I also felt like it was a now or never situation, and if
the stab went well, I could make a reasonable push for a solo or a
strong draw.
To my grateful amazement, Grant not only acknowledged that my stabbing
him was a good move, but agreed to continue to assist me! He agreed to
move his units as I asked in return for my trying to keep him alive,
and he stayed true to that agreement to the end. For what it's worth,
I was doing my best to keep his units around, but the tides of battle
just didn't permit it.
By 1906, Turkey was gone, Germany and Austria were crumbling, and
Russia was being slowly nibbled away at. Gerry and I were in the
driver's seats, and were discussing plans for an F/I draw proposal
(assuming we could get Matthias to accept it). However, Gerry saw the
opportunity for a solo, and (quite rightly) decided to go for it. I
might have been able to beat him to it, or at least slow him down, but
Matthias then gave me an ultimatum - withdraw French units from
Scandinavia, or he would hand his remaining SCs to Italy. I certainly
don't blame him for this approach - desperate times, etc. I might
conceivably have been able to acceded to Matthias' demands and still
manage a solo or draw, but it seemed unlikely at best, and I thought I
might be able to hold Gerry and Matthias off long enough to grab
either enough SCs for a solo or a defensible stalemate line. As it
happens, I was VERY wrong, and the two of them quickly managed to get
Gerry to 18 for the win.
Overall, I was pleased with my performance in the game - I made some
good tactical guesses until the endgame, and most of the game went the
way I hoped it would. I have no regrets about losing to Gerry - he's a
gentleman and a skilled tactician, and played a very smart and
effective game. Thanks to all those who participated, especially those
who made it through without any NMRs. And many, many thanks to Jerome
for a clean, friendly, and personable game!
Here's hoping I see each of you across the virtual board again soon!
Best,
Brian/France

Bonsoir mes amis,

 

Much to my surprise, I've received builds from neither France nor Italy. Therefore, I'm assuming that builds are waived for this turn.

 

The updated map and .dpy files are attached, don't forget
the deadline for Spring 1908 moves - Sunday 14 August, 2000GMT.

Hi all,
Apologies for the late adjudication on builds yesterday, and the lack of updated map. I'm stuck away from home at present having to work an unfeasable amount of overtime due to some work issues, and so haven't been able to use more than my simple email system.
I will be home later this evening and will provide an updated map at that point. This will be around 1900 GMT, or twelve hours after the time stamp on this email.
Thanks for bearing with me,
Jerome
P.s. Gerry, it's nothing to do with still being drunk from the Test Match...!

dc384 - Autumn 1906 adjudication - jerome777   (Jul 24, 2011, 3:00 pm)
"Italian fleet takes Ankara in search for missing cat - Turkish admiral furious at being accused of smuggling the cat on board and scuttles in middle of Black Sea in protest!"

 

"500-year-old Hapsburg empire crumbles - Archduke retires to villa dreaming of attending Munich beer festival in peace in the years to come!"

 

"Heavy fighting continues in central Europe and Scandinavia - several centres change hands!"

 

Press from Turkey: "F Black Sea - Wishes everyone good luck with the rest of the game!"

 

Hi
everyone,

 

Welcome to your Autumn 1906 adjudication. I'm afraid we need to bid a fond farewell to two of our players this turn - Chris and Archer. Thanks for playing guys, and thanks for sticking it out to the end - I hope we'll see you in another exciting game of Diplomacy soon!

 

 

Here's the moves for Autumn 1906:

 

Austria:
A Budapest Supports A Vienna (*Disbanded*)
A Vienna Supports A Budapest (*Dislodged*)

 

France:
A Burgundy - Munich
F English Channel -
Belgium
A Finland - St Petersburg (*Fails*)
F Kiel - Denmark
F Mid-Atlantic Ocean Hold
A Munich - Silesia
F North Sea Supports F Kiel - Denmark
A Norway Supports A Finland - St Petersburg
F Norwegian Sea - Barents Sea
A Piedmont - Tyrolia
A Ruhr - Kiel

 

Germany:
A Berlin Supports A Munich - Silesia
A Sweden Supports F Kiel - Denmark (*Disbanded*)

 

Italy:
F Aegean Sea Supports A Smyrna - Constantinople
F Ankara Supports A Smyrna - Constantinople
F Ionian Sea - Tyrrhenian Sea
A Serbia Supports A Galicia - Budapest
A Smyrna - Constantinople
A Trieste Supports A Tyrolia - Vienna
F Tunis - Western Mediterranean
A Tyrolia - Vienna
A Venice - Piedmont

 

Russia:
F Baltic Sea Supports A Denmark - Sweden
F Bulgaria(ec) - Rumania
A Denmark - Sweden
A Galicia - Budapest
A Livonia Supports F St Petersburg(nc)
F St Petersburg(nc) Hold
A Ukraine - Warsaw
A Warsaw - Prussia

 

Turkey:
F Black Sea Hold


 

There's only one retreat to make - that of Austria's Vienna army - and I've autoadjudicated this to off-the-board as this army would only need to be disbanded during the builds anyway, thus giving an extra day's negotiation before the 1907 moves.

 

 

Adjustments:

 

Austria:   Supp  0 Unit  0 Build  0
England:   Supp  0 Unit  0 Build  0
France:    Supp 14 Unit 11 Build  3
Germany:   Supp  1 Unit  1 Build  0
Italy:     Supp 11 Unit  9 Build  2
Russia:    Supp  8 Unit  8 Build  0
Turkey:    Supp  0 Unit  1 Remove  1


 

The builds for Winter 1906 are due from France and Italy by 2000GMT tomorrow, Monday 25 July. Spring 1907 moves are due by 2000GMT Sunday 31 July.

 

I hope you're all enjoying the fascinating cricket at Lord's - I've only just sobered up from Friday long enough to type this message out without my hands shaking! The game is really finely poised at present, could go either way...*

 

Stay chilled mes braves,

 

Jerome

 

*Does he mean dc384 or does he mean the Test Match? Answers on a postcard to the usual address please...!
