You have to download and install it.
 
- Go to www.diplomaticcorp.com
- Click on variants
- Scroll down to SAS
- There is a small RP link to the right of it - click that
- This should pop up a "Run or Save" dialog - Choose Save.  Or, your i.e. may throw up one of the yellow i.e. protection bars (bill g always lookin out for us) so you'll have to click that and say download file, then pick save from the popup.
- Save this file on your Desktop
Now go unzip it...
Dont have Winzip?  Ok have to get that first, from www.sims-family.net/library/winzip81.exe
- Once unzipped, you should have a folder (note, a regular folder - not a zip).
- Cut that folder, and pasted it into your c:\program files\realpolitik\variants folder, next to all the other variants you see there.
 
- Next time you start RP, the new variant should be an option.

I don't seem to have SAS in the variant list for RP.

Subject: Not now, I've got to feed my llama!

Greetings!  And welcome to this, the two-hundred and seventy-third game of diplomaticcorp diplomacy:
 
                                            "Not now, I've got to feed my llama!"
 
We've got a lineup here with some of the best in the hobby - including some new hopefuls, some dc regulars, some old-school vets, and some dinosaurs that have been around forever. 
 
This game will follow in my typical 4-season Diplomacy fashion, that is with autumn retreats and winter builds combined into one season to cut back on the minor turns.  You can always submit your build orders conditional upon the autumn retreat ordrers, if that affects what you would build.  See my house rules online for further info.  Actually, you should read them even if further info isn't really your bag of chips, or even if you dont care for info much at all.  No, even if it would make you grossly ill, you should still read the house rules.  They're that good.  Trust me.
 
For those of you got on the wrong train, you have showed up for South American Supremacy - As the train has now left the station, this is where you're going whether you like it or not - but how could you not?  With a variant created by the legendary Ben Hester, you would have the wisdom of a llama to not want to play in this one.
 
So - without delaying this any further than I already have, let's get a confirmation from all 8 players, including if you like a preference list of countries.  Even if you dont have a preference, you should still reply to me to confirm you're interested, and indicate no preference.
 
With this crowd, I'm not anticipating we'll have any long-term issues with NMRs.  I'll be running this game in my usual way, that is with processing NMR's as they fall.
 
Enjoy!
-mike
