PREV  Spring 1936 Adjudication:  NEXT    


Hi guys,

there's always this special thrill to a game's very first season. Who's going to hit the ground running and who shall face a first wake-up call? How ought one react to shifts in the balance of power and emerging alliances? In a good game of Diplomacy, every power shall at one point face setbacks. Will those players who do face such ones early on rise to the challenge? In any case, the game is never lost or won in the first season. It's only the starting-shot in a long Marathon.

Looking at the map, the first shots of the Spanish Civil War have proven indecisive. Neither Britain or France have chosen to directly intervene in the conflict. And the Portuguese have equally kept aloof of Spanish quarrels and chose to instead renew the centuries-old friendship with Great Britain at the expense of France. The Grand Nation itself might well be feeling the chill of diplomatic isolation insofar as Britain, Italy and Turkey all appear to have designs on French territory. Nor has fortune favoured the Président in his Helvetian schemes as German influence now reigns supreme in Bern.

Remarkably enough, among the minor powers only Switzerland and Bulgaria have been penetrated by great power influence. Similar Italian designs in Dalmatia or those of Poland in both Lithuania and Rumania have been thwarted. Over in the Low Countries, the Belgians have even made a point of standing in solidarity together with their Dutch neighbours.

Okay, I'll leave it at that. Fall 1936 prelims are due on Monday!

Happy dipping,

Charles
