Okay folks, a generic question for you all. Given a fleet on the SOUTH coast of Spain how would you, as a GM, rule on each of the following orders: 1. F Spain...
Sorry Scott - All valid (if a bit confusing to read) - However:- F SPAIN (North Coast) supports F MAO to GAS would be invalid. The only time I would consider...
... I'd allow the first two, not the third as he is directing a unit that does not exist and is therefore ambiguous. Send instant messages to your online...
I'm not seeing any reason to invalidate any of them really. Regardless of which coast the fleet is on, support for Wme to Mao is valid. Therefore it all comes...
... I require correct coastal designations at all times for fleets already in or moving to a multi-coastal province. Therefore, in my games, only the first of...
If house rules overrule one or more of the standard dip rules, doesn't that make the game a variant rather than a standard one? Cheers, Deepak ... From: "Adam...
Well, in this case, the rulebook is not especially clear, but you do raise a valid general question. At what point does a house rule become "strong" enough to...
... Following this logic, then, should games using the 1976 rulebook, e.g., be considered "variants"? I think this is splitting hairs. The purpose of house...
I happen to agree with you on the third case. As I have stated elsewhere, giving *wrong* information is qualitatively worse than giving less than the normal...
As the GM whose ruling started this controversy, this is my last word on the "coastal" issue. Those who wish to disagree are free to do so, but I would prefer...
I find myself on your side of the arguement. I don't subscribe 'what if they want misorder on purpose' argument. I feel GM's sometimes spend all their energy...
... Well, I am a strict constructionist and I don't see how that is contrary to the rules. I do admit, however, that part of the reason I strictly construe is...
... I am not strongly committed to that position, to be honest, although I still do favor it very slightly. It is mostly to promote consistency. I want...
... Thus the label as a pedantic distinction. I still think that players should always use correct coasts, and should never bark at the GM if they fail to do...
Additional comments below prefaced with "MDA:". Regards to all, Mike A. ... MDA: There can be no ambiguity, since it is not possible to have fleets on both the...
... Hardly. There can only be one unit in Spain. If I am ordering my unit in Spain then I either specify the coast it is on, or no coast since it is my unit...
Hello all, We fall upon this discussion again and again and yet there are many different opinions on how to interpet orders and how to run games in general....
Gregory, Thank you for your comments. You make some very valid points. I have some problem with one practice you describe, however. I do not ask for...
I have to agree here with Michael. Unless it is a newbies game, I do not ask for corrections to orders. Even then, it would be stated in advance in my house...
I've got a question that I should probably know the answer too but I figured I'd run this by an unbiased group. Given: a game where: England has been...
Scott, I take the same view as with the wrong coast designation from your previous question. - There can only be one unit in MAO, therefore this order applies...
Depends on you a GM and how strict you wish to be. Me, I hold that all that is meaningfull if that there is a fleet in Mao and someone is supporting it from...
I'd allow it unless you have a stable hard-nose line, e.g. if you would disallow A(Rome) - Naoles then you have a case here too :) On 25 Apr 2005 at 8:28,...
I would certainly allow it. The poor chap - almost certainly a diplo user - is clearly a tad colour blind, and cannot tell his blues and greens apart. Cheers, ...
... Either position is defensible. If you're a stickler in other ways, disallow it. If you have a tendency towards leniency, allow it. As you know by now, I...
I've had a few people reply with agreement on ending the agony on this one with a DIAS. Some email addys are 'bouncing', and still others are unresponsive. ...
