Harry, would it be possible to put in your Turn 1 Argument before you go- it is hard for a new player to submit an Argument on a day's notice. If that is...
Great, that's the immediate crisis taken care of. I still need a new Allied player, however, to deal with the longer term problem. Marcus ... From: Harry...
Harry, Have a good trip. We'll try to keep the allied cause afloat without you. Marcus, I think we still are short one allied argument even after Harry submits...
I am willing to step in as Harry's temporary replacement till he gets back from South Africa. But as you who have seen me play in Marcus's games in the past...
Do you also want to play as Harry's substitute in the World Masters Diplomacy Tournament during his absence? He leaves a gaping hole in our team, the...
Before setting sail for Lemnos and his destiny Sir Hamilton contacts
Kitchener. He requests that the following units be earmarked for the
attack and Occupation...
Thanks Chris for stepping into the breach. I now have John's Argument and Harry's Argument for Turn 1. Mike has failed to submit an Argument. In order to get...
It's a classic Avalon Hill boardgame. 7 players, the Great Powers on the eve of WWI. You start with three centres (eg. London, Edinburgh and Liverpool) and...
Sorry. I got badly sidetracked yesterday. Here is the final allied thrust. We will do a better job in future turns. European newspapers are abuzz with the...
So it's Diplomacy. I didn't know it had been renamed. While I like Diplomacy I probably shouldn't jump into it. Terri has too much puppet stuff lined up and...
Here are the British Turn 1 results. I would like the Ottoman Arguments (1 per player) submitted by next Wednesday, if possible. Marcus Turn 1 March 1915 ...
... I was trying to figure out exactly where that line fell. Glad to see the thrust fell inside it. We are now prepared to accept Ottoman surrender. John...
Er, didn't I say Diplomacy? It hasn't been renamed, not since I started playing it twenty years ago! I wonder if an MG version of Diplomacy would ever take...
At one stage there was a rather bizarre proposal to play an MG modelling players playing a game of diplomacy- so not exactly an MG version of diplomacy, but an...
Signals to your email did not arrive?? I'm astounded! The man will be shot! Shot I tell you! The ANZACS have arrived sir and await off the coast-out of gunnery...
Where? Eygpt? The Barbary Coast? Bognor??? --- Mike ... ___________________________________________________________ Moving house? Beach bar in Thailand? New...
Yes well ahem I was referring to MY arrival back here-Matrixgammer2-due to taxing workloads and Christmas madness...to be more exact Alexandria ...pitching...
I don't know about Dylan playing Germany, but what might make an interesting Diplomacy MG would be a game between the great fictional detectives: Father Brown...
I find this quite an interesting concept. I assume that Lord Peter Wimsey refused to play by reason of his residual shellshock from WWI- after all he took up...
Not a problem at all. We never expect our commonwealth compatriots to be up to British standards of punctuality and efficiency. :) Glad you are on station...
For those of you who are new to the group, the argument about the correspondence would be completely okay in an Engle Matrix Game. Thrust and Parry narrows its...
Only with a Matrix Game could you have a game about playing a game and have any chance of it being at all interesting. It would all be about second guessing...
... New York yes, but not a heavy one, otherwise us people out here in the Midwest wouldn't be able to understand. One of my professors in college (a New...
And a little heavy on the English writers (yes, they invented the genre, but still...) There's Inspector Maigret (Georges Simenon, France), Judge Dee/Di Renjie...
