Avalon Hill's Diplomacy

[Flatlander Fox]

Hope it doesn't hurt your eyes too much (Tried to shrink it with mixed results)

Perhaps you can do better?

If not, butt out.

 

[Flatlander Fox]

Swiss News Report:

Today it was reported that the French took the nearby city of Munich. As we are all powerful and all seeing we are not worried too much, but the rest of Europe better look out!

A Russian garrison in Budapest was wiped out today by a daring Turkish and Italian attack. During the attack it was discovered that the Italians had moved their fleets off of the coast of Smyrna.

Who are the allies? Who are the enemies? Who knows?

The deadline has passed anyway, so just send the orders to Magnus, he will adjudicate the next season's moves.

 

[Richard III]

????? Deadline? Who said anything about deadlines?

 

[Magnus]

I am going to be a very kindly temp-GM in that I won't become a ***** until I get 3/4 of the orders in and since I have NONE, I will just sit back and relax and watch the paint dry in Munich....

 

[TrailblazingScot]

***EXTRA EXTRA***

The bloody war in Europe continued as the French liberated the British Isles from the Russians. The Russians, however stormed their navy into the North Sea and could soon threaten many of the French held ports in the region.. Meanwhile, in the East, the Italians plowed back into Budapest, as the Russians and Turks traded mighty blows all over the shores of the Black Sea and Anatolia, the end result of Constantinople again falling to the Russians, and a Turkish army cut off defending the new capital of Ankara. The snows of winter are now settling in, giving the warring countries time to breath a bit and renew with a vengeance their battle for supremacy in the Old World.

NOTES

Turkish A Ankara can retreat to Armenia.

The French mistakenly thought they still had a Fleet in Clyde and the Turks mistakenly thought the Russian army in Smyrna had Yellow Uniforms. map to follow. (hopefully!)

 

[Magnus]

PHANTOM BRITISH FLEET IN CLYDE CAUSES BOTTLENECK IN NORTH SEA OPERATIONS!

FRENCH MARCH INTO BERLIN UNCONTESTED!

HUGE BATTLES RAGE OVER BULGARIA AND RUMANIA - AND WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS... NOTHING CHANGES!

TURKS PUSHED OUT OF ANKARA WHILE AWAITING ORDERS FROM HIGH COMMAND THAT NEVER CAME!

Hopefully FlatlanderFox will have returned before the next moves are due - I shall set a tentative date of Tuesday, 7 May for the Fall moves. Toasty you can either retreat to Armenia or disband the army in Ankara.

[TrailblazingScot]

God damn it!

And my army in Silesia did me no favours either...

You're only prolonging the agony Russia!



P.S 3 things bug me:

1. I'm pretty sure on most e-mails of my orders I ask to be informed of errors.

2. It is such a daft error...unlike me.

3. What order did I give my fleet in Clyde...presumably to support the fleet English Channel to North Sea

 

[Flatlander Fox]

Magnus will be permanently assuming the role of GM in the original CivDip game.

I will begin to focus on the NEXT CivDip game, and on recruiting new members to play.

[Magnus]

Amid fears that the citizens of Italy and Turkey were on the verge of civil disorder due to war weariness, the Great War in Europe dragged on for its 8th year! (begun when France sneak-attacked Italy, if you all recall )

And here are the top stories:

French push Russian Fleet out of the North Sea:fish:and force the Russians back from their garrisons in Sweden.

Russians furiously scramble to defend their homeland from the mishievous Italian Livonian army.:soldier:

Bulgaria AGAIN a scene of mass destruction, yet SOMEHOW the Turks remain, dug in their seemingly indestructible forts and lines of trenches. Meanwhile the Turkish army in Armenia does an 'end around' and captures the Russian port of Sevastopol! The Turk fight for survival is reaching legendary status.

Italian amphibious assault successful in Southern Anatolia. Also the French Med fleet and the Italian Western fleet meet for some fine port and cheese in Sardinia.

**********

We have 2 retreats (or disbands - both Russian):

Russian F North Sea can retreat to Yorkshire, Norwegian Sea, Skagerrak or Helgoland Bight.

Russian A Sweden can retreat to Finland.

Once I get the retreats (its fine if you post them here, Ollie) I will give the builds/disbands deadline.

[TrailblazingScot]

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE GOVERNMENTS OF RUSSIA, ITALY AND TURKEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE.


We are announcing terms upon which peace in Europe can be made...if opposed we will enforce these terms.

Russia will consist of:

St.Petersburg, Livonia, Ukraine, Moscow, Sevastopole, Warsaw, Rumania

Turkey will consist of:
Syria, Armenia, Ankara, Constantanople, Smyrna, Bulgaria.

Italy will consist of:
Vienna, Budapest, Trieste, Venice, Galicia Piedmont, Tuscany, Rome, Appalachia, Albania, Greece, Bohemia.

The rest of Europe will be the domain of the French Empire!

This is an honourable peace which restores Turkish and Russian lands to their rightful owners. All nations who will sign the "treaty of unity" will have gained from the last 8 years of war.

Take this opportunity to surrender to the French Nation on good terms.


NB: The Nation of Italy has already made clear she is willing to surrender to the French Nation...I have presented here fair terms for Italy to do so.

 

[Richard III]

Wow, I even get part of Kentucky! I can make bourbon now! Sign me up!

 

[Magnus]

Hey Serbia is unclaimed! think I can have that for the ruins of Austria-Hungary?

Prince Metternich - in - exile (but now GM? hmmmm.....)
