Fortuitous: To be good is to be lucky. No victory can come without good fortune smiling on your efforts. The Nobleman rolls with the punches, capitalizes on his lucky breaks and makes contingency plans for when fate is not so kind.

England apparently believes it has developed airships. I received this order: "F Den C A Tyr-Mun". While Tyr is not a good abbreviation (can refer to Tyrolia or the tyrrhenian sea), I felt Tyrolia was clearly intended by the army designation. However, it is an invalid move for three reasons. Denmark does not touch munich. It does not touch Tyrolia. And fleets in coastal provinces can not convoy, denmark being such a province. Just wanted to explain what's going on there.

As a further explanation, I play most of my Diplomacy on the Judges, and a lot of Judge Diplomacy games are NoPress/Gunboat, so Judge player have established a system of false Convoys and Supports to send signals and communicate with their opponents. In this case Den C Tyl-Mun means, "Hey Italy, grab some German Centers before Russia gets them all." Wink

Hey all!

You've mostly all done round one, so you know how this dance goes. I'll keep it simple. For Blitz games I use the DC House rules, though I do have final say in all matters, and may potentially overrule those house rules. I'm pretty much a by-the-book kind of fellow though, so what the house rules say is pretty much what you get. My games do have notoriously early deadlines: 8:00 AM CST (which I believe is 13:00 GMT, but I'm awful at time zone conversion). So PLEASE send prelims in. If you have any questions about how I handle anything, I'll be happy to address it, but I figure you all know the basic drill. So... Happy stabbing, and see you on Monday, April 9th at 8:00 AM CST (13:00 GMT). Country assignments are below. They were semi-random. In the blitz we try to give players a different kind of country than they had in round one (center countries get edge countries, etc). That's tough to arrange, but I feel like I did the best I could. And I always liek hearing what the players are thinking, so please feel free to make comments or insights to me with your moves! Have fun!

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.
