On the basis that only one unit was able to move this turn, Ger A Swe - Den, I am declaring this the first turn of stalemate apparently being reached. As I pointed out to you in the message I sent earlier this week, I draw your attention to the DC website house rules, 'End-Game Proposals, section 5', which states:


"If a game appears to be stalemated, the GM may choose to declare the
game a DIAS if there appears to be no substantial change to the board
dynamics for 4 consecutive turns (2 years). This rule is most likely to
apply where some power(s) have demonstrated a stalemate line that cannot
be broken given a fixed set of defensive orders. If the No Substantial
Change rule is to be invoked, the GM will notify the players after the
2nd season (1 year in) of effect, allowing them at least one full year
to consider the implications of a potential stalemate. Any declared
stalemate will be a DIAS where all players in control of at least 1
supply center will share equally in a draw. Some things that may break a
stalemate are:
The capture of a supply centerDislodging a unitPlayer request, with explanation of why the game is not stalemated"If there are three more consecutive turns of stalemate, I shall declare this game a DIAS.
There are two end-game proposals to be voted on for this WINTER TURN:A 6-way DIASA two-way France-Austria drawI need six 'yes' votes to carry either of these two EGPs. If they both pass, the DIAS wins.

There are no adjustments to make to any power this turn, so I'm just looking for votes for the EGPs. The deadline is 2100GMT tomorrow, Friday 8 March.Best,Jerome
