Farsightedness: The Butterfly Effect states that a butterfly that flaps its wings in Malaysia could cause a typhoon in British Columbia. So too could minor variations in one part of the board affect play across the board. The Captain of Watch asesses the board for all possible impacts - both immediate and long-term.

Total nerd question: the Standard Dip map has a waterway thru northern Germany that enable the German player to order from Hel - Kie - Bal (or vice-versa). There is no such waterway in real-life Germany. Did it used to be? Or is it a design conceit to add balance to the game? Anybody familiar with the history of this?

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
