DIPLOMATICCORP DC210 - GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
1958 ORIGINAL GAME, 1958 ORIGINAL MAP, 3-SEASON GAME YEAR
ADJUDICATION FALL 1915 (TURN 5)
SATURDAY 25th OCTOBER 2008
[u:2de38f3ddc]PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS ADJUDICATION[/u:2de38f3ddc]
GM Comment:
'Plucky little Belgium' gets plucked again - this time by the Kaiser's boys, but the French console themselves for its loss by oppressing the last free nation in Europe - Portugal.
The Royal Navy regains the North Sea following the offloading of its army (they've been on board a long time - but now stretching their legs in Yorkshire). Notice that disembarking doesn't take a whole move if both units are in place. Also notice the crossed through 'B' (on the 'moves' map) denoting a disembarking operation.
Austria-Hungary takes up position on its Galicia frontier as the Russians decide to attack the proposed German support than the actual advance. The Austro-Hungarian Adriatic fleet is supported (with its 2nd international support) big-time into the Ionian Sea, only to find that it is not opposed.
The former hot spot of the Balkans goes quiet as the Great Powers consolidate their gains, except in Rumania which sees the Ottoman Turks hoisting their flag in Bucharest. Their flag comes down in Athens as the Austro-Hungarians impose regime change in Greece.
The Russian loss of Rumania seems compensated for by occupying Erzerum.
All in all, an interesting turn. No dislodgements; so no retreats.
Remember to submit your adjustment orders for next turn. Read Annex C of the House Rules CAREFULLY. Remember, you can't just build in any old home centre.

A complete map history for the game (in the form of a slideshow) can be found at http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/slideshow.php?game_id=dc210
I've had a word with Mike Sims at Diplomaticcorp and although the slideshow has been implemented on the site, it can't as yet handle more than one map per turn. However, this is definitely on the 'things to do' list.
In the meantime, I've decided to reinstate the slideshow on my web site http://sforza.50webs.com/DC210.html as it can handle more than one map per turn.
Cheers,
Paolo.
