Diplomacy 3 - Gameplay

Diplomacy is a strategic board game. Its main distinction from most board wargames is negotiation: Players spend much of their time forming (and betraying) alliances with other players. Set in Europe just before the beginning of World War I , Diplomacy is played by seven players, each controlling the armed forces of a major European power.

Or Grim can post her prior to the deadline, who he has moves from and who is lacking. I like the checks and balance option.

Ok, it is (for me as a GM) a trial and error thing - I like the improvement suggestions you made. We have two options.
a) I give you an answer that I have received the post.
b) I have a look at the posts when the deadline comes and then pm anyone who is missing giving them a day to post.

And by the way: OK, I will use the orders Melvyst has sent me. It does not change much...

Sorry for all the inconvenience - perhaps I am just doing things wrong... will try to do better in the future: You will get a short reply pm once I get your orders. Deadlines must still be observed. Is that agreeable?

Map: The program forced me to disband one Austrian unit, I disbanded the Fleet. Amaris you still can choose which Unit to disband - pm me which one goes away. And it is not colored - you will get a new one when I get all the builds.
