I would recommend Cyberboard (available in downloads). It will allow you to routinely apply a new map over the game board. I've run Seismic twice... it's not easy. The basic process is...

* Move the units (in CBPlay)

* Edit your base map (in something like Paint Shop)

* Apply the new map to the gamebox (in CBDesign)

* Go badk to CBPlay and export the map with units

Note it won't DO the adjudication for you, as Cyberboard is basically a collection of units sitting on a map that you can freely move anywhere. There are no logical provinces like in Realpolitik.

If you understand layers, you could do a similar thing w/o using an adjudicator program at all, just say, Paint Shop. Put the units on one layer and move them around, keep the map on the base layer so you can edit it as needed for Seismic activity. The benefit of Cyberboard is it keeps the units as objects so they're easy to move, add, delete, etc.

Does anyone know of a program for adjudication of the Seismic variant?

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.
