The normal vehicle in the past (when Cat & DW were main recruiting sources along with old Dip1600) was Sail Ho. Not as pretty a game but no-fooling, point-to-point play required. Only 16 folks needed as well which was always easy. People think South has an advantage but that very thought means game usually is played against S so diminishes what I think is a false idea. The place names alone throw some folks at first...

Congrats Steve!
I figured I was too little too late in the end but it is because TheWizardTim was masterful in his defense of Egypt. I honestly predicated everything on being able to capture Egypt both faster and completely and that didn't happen because he was a solid foe. Sorry to John that I had to stab for a few centers but I was hoping I could get some momentum late and overcome Steve. Didn't like doing it but the 08 deadline was a ticking clock in the back of my mind throughout and I didn't have any choice.
That said Steve getting to 15 was impressive. Good luck in Rd 2.
Thanks to Vegas for a nice diversion and an interesting tournament and format. I hope this becomes something annual at DC. I like the idea of a finite timeframe before determining a winner. Certainly makes you act more deliberately.
Best,

Thanks to all for a great game. I do feel the need to apologize, my work load spiked shortly after the game started and I sent a turn without checking it fully. I am willing to bet Persia can tell which turn that was.
Well played and good luck in the future.

That was a mad game – excellent. Many thanks Mike for the hard work, and to the rest of you gents. Not sure how I feel about the time limitation. At the very least lucky I guess, because much longer and Rome would have taken a solo! My EOG? I tried to be friends with Egypt and Egypt went down (the Crete or Cyprus call early on was crucial); I tried to be friends with Carthage and Carthage went down. I am a Jonah.

This was the main 'regulars' game (others spread out) so many of you have met before. All have seen DW & other action. Poul is of course the 1-time Danish champion of DW's Denmarkhaus & has been in games of mine (incl hand-done 1600 maps) since 1999. Steph would be 2nd-longest. They both have some bon mots to deliver back & forth about this 1. Mike Sims should consider a house for DC but maybe a more advanced country like Estonia or maybe the alliterative Haiti House Normal DC points will be assigned (I assume calling topper 'draw' & others survivors works in DC - never sure) & all can wish Jim well in the championship game for a seat in the DC Invitational whenever that happens.

Congrats Steve!
I figured I was too little too late in the end but it is because TheWizardTim was masterful in his defense of Egypt. I honestly predicated everything on being able to capture Egypt both faster and completely and that didn't happen because he was a solid foe. Sorry to John that I had to stab for a few centers but I was hoping I could get some momentum late and overcome Steve. Didn't like doing it but the 08 deadline was a ticking clock in the back of my mind throughout and I didn't have any choice.
That said Steve getting to 15 was impressive. Good luck in Rd 2.
Thanks to Vegas for a nice diversion and an interesting tournament and format. I hope this becomes something annual at DC. I like the idea of a finite timeframe before determining a winner. Certainly makes you act more deliberately.
Best,
Garry

Thanks to all for a great game and thanks to Vegas for GMing.
Congratulations to Steve! Good luck in Round 2.
It was stab or be stabbed I think, Garry, and I waited too long, that’s all.
Good fun!

Thanks to all for a great game. I do feel the need to apologize, my work load spiked shortly after the game started and I sent a turn without checking it fully. I am willing to bet Persia can tell which turn that was.
Well played and good luck in the future.

The normal vehicle in the past (when Cat & DW were main recruiting sources along with old Dip1600) was Sail Ho. Not as pretty a game but no-fooling, point-to-point play required. Only 16 folks needed as well which was always easy. People think South has an advantage but that very thought means game usually is played against S so diminishes what I think is a false idea. The place names alone throw some folks at first...

To be honest this was my first go at the Ancient Med board; I would have preferred the Sail-Ho tournament. This was also my first Dip game in 5 or so years, so I was glad it was gunboat.
My approach to this was fairly simple, and was based more on my strategy for playing Chromatic, which is similar in style -- a board with 5 powers where it's easier to go one way or the other than it is to go across. So I needed Rome to choose to go after Greece, and I had to choose between Egypt and Rome. When it came to the first builds, I chose to go after Egypt, mainly because it was the easier nut to crack. I was hoping that Rome would realize how poorly Greece was defended, and would go after the easier nut there, instead of me. But he didn't.
Losing Saguntum was expected; I figured I'd finish off Egypt and then focus on holding off Rome defensively until either he went after Greece instead or until Greece decided to help me out. What I didn't expect was what I strongly believe to have been the least strategic attack of the game -- Persia forcing me to disband while at the same time being unable to build with the taken centers, and stab which allowed Egypt to survive for another year. I might have respected Persia if he'd gotten the build; after all, he had Greece to deal with, too. But he didn't. It was pointless and useless and all it did was force me to disband. At that point, I knew I couldn't win; I couldn't hold off Rome for long, or Persia if I made a disband on that end of the board, and even Greece might be able to poach a center from my carcass.
At this point, I decided to be kingmaker. I couldn't help Greece. I wouldn't help Persia. So I disbanded most favorably to Rome and hoped he would turn on Greece as soon as possible. His first set of moves at that point seemed to not be helpful to me, so I made sure he couldn't get all my centers. At that point, Greece finally seemed to realize what was happening, but it was too late.
Thanks to Vegas for running the game. It was fun. Wish there were more gunboats on DC. Beyond that, good game, all. Bittersweet Congrats to Rome, Mockingly Villainous Curses to Persia, and Good Luck to all the rest. See y'all around, I'm sure.[Reply] |

That was a mad game – excellent. Many thanks Mike for the hard work, and to the rest of you gents. Not sure how I feel about the time limitation. At the very least lucky I guess, because much longer and Rome would have taken a solo! My EOG? I tried to be friends with Egypt and Egypt went down (the Crete or Cyprus call early on was crucial); I tried to be friends with Carthage and Carthage went down. I am a Jonah.

C,G, & E all headed for the same spots across the south & lower mid board. Is C getting to Lib Sea important? Only 1 turn left. Game 5 has caught up a ton so all should be done reasonably soon. 4 move turns the most left for any game. http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=dc470

R asked for the dpy fle & I unthinkingly sent him 1 that had C's moves on it. R's moves are logical based on moving to Pun last time & take no advantage that they could have(a long known player). Major apology but no sc effect as C just traded 1 for another so no R gain. Just stupidity...G's NOT on there.
E can change ret with adjs. http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=dc473
