Smid's Diplomacy Game Thread #3

The moves for Spring 1908 were:



France
A Gascony - Paris (*Fails*)
F Marseilles Supports F Spain (sc)
A Ruhr - Belgium (*Fails*)

Russia
F Baltic Sea - Livonia
A Berlin Supports A Silesia - Munich
A Sevastopol - Ukraine (*Bounce*)

F Western Mediterranean - North Africa (*Disbanded*)

Following the moves, the map appears thus:



The German Army in Denmark was NMR and therefore disbanded instead of retreats. The Italian Fleet in the Mid-Atlantic Ocean is forced to retreat.

Following the Italian Fleet's retreat to the North Atlantic, the map appears thus:

sorry for the shameless plugin here Smid, but I'd link to link everyone who may be playing/watching here to the new variant game I'm starting. Have a look

Not a worry!

Moves for Fall 1908 were:



France
A Gascony - Brest (*Bounce*)
F Marseilles Supports F Spain (sc)
A Ruhr - Belgium (*Fails*)

Russia
A Berlin - Kiel
F Livonia - Baltic Sea
A Munich Supports A Berlin - Kiel
A Sevastopol Holds
A Vienna Supports A Bohemia - Tyrolia (*Dislodged*)
A Warsaw - Silesia

Italy
F Ionian Sea - Tyrrhenian Sea
F North Atlantic Ocean - Liverpool
F Spain (sc) Supports F Western Mediterranean (*Disbanded*)
A Trieste Supports F North Atlantic Ocean - Liverpool (*Fails*)
F Tuscany - Gulf of Lyon
F Western Mediterranean Supports F Tunis - North Africa

F Gulf of Lyon - Spain (sc)
F Mid-Atlantic Ocean Supports F Gulf of Lyon - Spain (sc)
A Paris - Brest (*Bounce*)
F Portugal Supports F Gulf of Lyon - Spain (sc)
F Sweden - Denmark (*Fails*)

The map therefore appears thus:



A retreat is required for the Russian Army in Vienna, however I believe there is only one place it can retreat to, which won't affect builds.

Builds will be:

France Remove 2
Russia Build 1
Italy Build 1
Germany Build 0
Austira-Hungary N/A
Turkey Build 1
England Build 2

[Smid]

Vienna shall prefer to dissolve into thin air.

I had neglected to think of that possibility! In that case, you have two builds!

[Smid]

You didn't list the English orders. From the map I presume they are:

A bel H
F den -> kie Failed.
F eng -> bre Bounced (1 against 1).
F lyo -> spa(sc)
F mao S F lyo -> spa(sc)
A par -> bre Bounced (1 against 1).
F por S F lyo -> spa(sc)
F swe -> den Failed because F den -> kie failed..

Cheers for pointing that out for me!

[Smid]

Builds for Winter 1908 were:

France
Disband A Gascony
Disband A Ruhr

Russia
Build A Warsaw
Build A St Petersburg

Italy
Build A Venice

Germany
N/A

Austria-Hungary
N/A

Turkey
Build A Ankara

England

Retreats are required for:

English Fleets in Sweden and the Mid-Atlantic Ocean, and the Russian Army in Sevastopol.

Everyone got their orders in very promptly this week!

[Smid]

Retreating to Moscow, as previously announced via the orders pm.

I expected that (and indeed, I think no other province would have been legal) but I figured I'd give you the chance to change your mind if you wished.

[Smid]

The two English retreats are to the English Channel and to the Gulf of Bothnia. I'll update the maps tonight once I get home.

Builds will be:

F No Change
R Build 1
I No Change
G No Change
A No Change
T No Change
E Remove 1

[Smid]

     England re-captured Liverpool, though, so I think your numbers are...slightly in error.

They are, too! My apologies, Mikado, I had misread the dotted lines for Spain. Fixed both England and Italy's build numbers.

[Smid]

Retreats resulted in the following:



England to the Gulf of Bothnia (from Sweden) and to the English Channel (from Mid-Atlantic Ocean).

Russia to Moscow (from Sevastopol).

Builds were:

England Disbands F English Channel
Russia Builds A St Petersburg.

France exits the game... Sorry Gustaf...

[Smid]

France exits the game... Sorry Gustaf...

Actually, I realised France doesn't technically exit the game until after the Fall turn. If Italy continued through Marseilles, France would have one supply centre and no units and be entitled to a build in Winter. Can't see that happening, though.

[Smid]

    Epic order on Russia's part.

I get a chuckle from a few players most turns...

Anyway, here is the map following the retreats (Germany to Prussia, Turkey to Brest)

[Smid]

Ownership of supply centers:

England   Belgium, Brest, Denmark, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Paris, Portugal. (
Germany   Holland. (1)

Russia    Berlin, Kiel, Moscow, Munich, Norway, St Petersburg, Sweden, Warsaw. (
Turkey    Ankara, Budapest, Bulgaria, Constantinople, Greece, Rumania, Sevastopol, Smyrna, Vienna. (9)

[Smid]

Smid, aren't both Moscow and Kiel now in English hands and not in Russian?

Copied straight from the Realpolitik update thing (I learnt how to "Save Status" as a txt file, which halved the time it took me to do my update). I'm guessing the programme updates after the retreats.

[Smid]

England's fleet in the Mid-Atlantic Ocean retreats to the Irish Sea and Germany's army in Munich retreats to the Ruhr and the German army in Kiel retreats to Berlin.

I believe this will lead to Italy receiving two builds and England receiving one, while the Russians are faced with two disbands.

I'll update the map once I get home from work this evening, people can get back to me with their builds as soon as is convenient.

[Smid]

Cheers, PiT, for updating the map for me!

In addition to Mikado's build of a Fleet in London, Germany Russia is disbanding the Armies in Ruhr and Berlin, and Italy is building Armies in Rome and Venice.

Did you mean non-supply-center units?

Yes. Sorry.

No worries.

[Smid]

Following retreats, the map appears thus:



I have heard disbands from England and Russia... just waiting on builds from Turkey and Italy (two each).
