=================================================================    Rule Review and Oceania DC508\FALL/2007 Player Press!
=================================================================    3 Winter Proposals: Vote with your Spring and Fall moves!        I/F draw:        A/M/N/J/U draw:        DIAS :=================================================================    GM: Maj and Smi are one of those strange places connected by arrows you can move between
these two spots even though 2 seas separate them.
    Kwa can move to, or support the chain island of smi, as they have a common sea boarder WEM. So number 4 is correct. The rule is badly written but the word Chain can refer to a part of multi attached Islands as well as to a whole group of attached Islands. The precedent was set two games ago in my adjudicator and so stands. The need for commonalty of rules rather than rules with exceptions was the deciding factor. Armies can move directly from one chain island to another if they border the same sea province is the common rule.        '3. The most important feature is that armies can move   
 directly from one island chain to another ("island hopping"     as long as both chains (independent of being multi-spaced or     single-spaced) border the same sea province.'        10.Marshalls to USA.USA.USA: The message before wasn`t from me. Can you support Kir-Smi.    9.Marshalls to USA.USA.USA: There are a lot people talking as Marshalls.    USA to Indonesia: I suggest mutual support F smi S U A maj xxx, A maj S I F smi xxx. Please note that maj and smi belong to different island chains. I also request your order F NAS - kir to cut possible
support.    7) USA to Marshall: The author of press no. 4 does not know the rules of the game. A kwa - smi is not possible. The rules state clearly that "armies can move _directly_ from one island chain to another". kwa and smi, however, do not belong to different island chains.     6) USA: I think the best way is I support you into Smi.    5) Marshall Islands applauds the writer of press no 4.    4) Marshalls to USA.USA.USA: Can you support Kwa-Smi    3) Why is Indonesia wasting time going to wmi and pmo?  It was time for the stab!  Don't wish to even TRY for the WIN?        2) France to NZ: Please join me in the attempt to stop Australia, no use in attacking me
and let Australia win.        1) Nobody has ever won this variant but Japan.  Looks like our current fearless leaders want a draw and keep Japan's record intact.=================================================================
