Might I actually see an Austria survive beyond the initial stages of the game? I confess I have not seen such a thing before.

 

[Dachs]

You haven't played a whole lot of Diplomacy, have you?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Nope. Maybe 10 games or so.

 

[qoou]

Oy immac, you only have two options to choose from: retreat that fleet to NAfr or disband it .

 

[Immaculate]

If i disband can i rebuild it at one of MY SCs?

Yup , but not until winter (which is a whole season away).

Personally I'd disband it solely for the style points, but that's just me. Other players might care less about style and more about practicality.


Edit:
And just in case you're wondering, North Africa does not border Spain.

Edit2:
Although due to Thlayli's ambitious retreat phase orders, it's certainly possible for North Africa to juke itself into the Mid-Atlantic.

Edit3:
Or maybe it'll choose to just sit there and look scary o.O.

Edit4:
Omagawd the possibilities are endless!!!

 

[Immaculate]

k- north africa it is. lets continue to be a thorn in france's side.

I've just noticed a tricky situation could potentially come up this turn. Just to clarify:

- Support is cut if the unit giving support is attacked from any province except the one where support is being given.

A (foo) cannot cut A (bar)'s support, if A (bar) is supporting an attack into foo.

- Support is cut if the unit giving support is dislodged.

A (foo) can cut A (bar)'s support if it successfully dislodges A (bar), regardless of whether A (bar) is supporting an attack into foo or not.


Also, a unit can still bounce/cut support/etc with its move, even if it is dislodged at the end of the turn, but that's much clearer and more common knowledge.

This is (very) inopportune. I am all but certain that I will not be able to send orders tomorrow, and would request an extension of the deadline by another 24 hours. At current, I do not have reliable Internet access and don't expect to have it for the next 48 hours.

Done.

pretend you are germany in the following game; what do you do?

Turkey and Russia had a steamroller going for most of the game- i was able to avoid it while i picked on France (NAP with russia). But now the two superpowers are at war with one another. Both promise a pact (you can do that in this game and share the win for less points) but they presumably already had an agreement and broke it.

I say kill them all! Pacts are for .

Invalid attachment. Try imgur. Can't really give good advice without a map.

In general, though, I vote for "kill them as fast as you can", regardless of whether they're falling out. Aside from the fact that alliances suck and you should play for the win, it will be much easier to fight Russia if the Russians are worried about the Turks, and if they kiss and make up, the Juggernaut's existence must be prevented at all costs by a unified assault on the part of all European powers anyway.

3 hours left and many orders missing. If they're not all in by the deadline, I'll be unable to get back on and update for a day or so :/.

 

[Immaculate]

If i have a fleet in clyde and one in liverpool, can i support clyde to eindborough with liverpool?

 

[Dachs]

No, because Fleet Liverpool cannot attack Edinburgh. Army Liverpool could.

 

[Immaculate]

K, thanks.

 

[qoou]

Right, apologies about that, I'm back among the living now.

Originally I was waiting on Thlayli's and Eko's orders; Eko's out of NESing for a while though, it seems.

Can I get a headcount of who's still around and interested? And can anyone take over Eko? (Eltain has first priority)



Also, in the future, deadlines are strict. You need to ask beforehand to extend them. (unless your computer blows up or something and then we're back on that slippery slope...)

 

[Immaculate]

In and interested. You have orders?
