FOFC Diplomacy

[Radii]

Using the extremely scientific method of pulling names out of a hat, I have assigned everyone a country and we are ready to begin.

Turkey - CastleRock
Russia - TargetPractice6
France - Skydog
Germany - Warhammer
England - Celeval
Austria/Hungary - PackerFanatic
Italy - Tredwel


I will be sending out an e-mail to everyone shortly. Contact each other however you prefer. I will provide an e-mail address for each player, and of course we have PMs here.

Since pre-game planning, espicially over e-mail, can take some time, we're going to go ahead and take a week for the first turn. That should give everyone enough time to plan out initial alliances, and for the newbies to see what its all about.

FIRST ORDERS DUE MONDAY, AUGUST 22nd, 3pm EST


EDIT: The official site and game map are now up.

Go SkyDog! You're my boy! :D

[Coffee Warlord]

I believe we'll be backing the Mob this game. Ave Italia! Ava Italia!

[Warhammer]

Kaiser Bill would like to let everyone know that he just wants a piece of Europe!

[Radii]

I have e-mailed all of the players. If you didn't get this e-mail please let me know :)

[PackerFanatic]

I may be a n00b, but I won't go down without a fight! Good luck everyone!

[Ben E Lou]

I may be a n00b, but I won't go down without a fight! Good luck everyone!Noobs can *win* at this game. The mechanics of battle really aren't that difficult. Good luck.

[Ben E Lou]

Had to go out of town overnight. I'm back now. If you wrote me any time after yesterday mornign, sorry I haven't responded yet. Hope to get back to you later today.

I have orders from everyone. I intend to run this at 3pm but I have a meeting scheduled from 10am-3pm, so we'll see how that goes, it will definitely be run before I leave the office today.

Spring 1901 Moves

HEADLINES
-- FRANCE AND GERMANY TUSSLE OVER BURGUNDY
-- ENGLISH CHANNEL REMAINS VACANT
-- BLACK SEA DOES NOT
-- BALKAN STATES PREPARE FOR MAJOR BATTLE
-- FRANCE MOVES ON IBERIAN PENINSULA, OCCUPIES SPAIN


We had one set of orders bounced in Spring of 1901. France and Germany tried to move armies into Burgundy from Paris and Munich, respectively. All other orders succeed. Of note, Russia occupies the Black Sea, while Russia, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and potentially Italy align themselves to fight over the four key Balkan supply centers. France and England appear to have maximized their ability to branch out by agreeing to leave the English Channel as a neutral zone, allowing France to take both Iberian supply centers easily, while England can fully pressure Scandanavia.


Great to see everyone get all their orders in!!


Spring 1901 movement map can be found: http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/s1901m-o.html

[fantastic flying froggies]

Burgondy is without a doubt French and will be taken as soon as possible. Where will we build our Maginot line in the 30s if we don't have Burgondy?

[Warhammer]

Wow, interesting turn.

[Tekneek]

So, are non-players allowed to comment about the moves in this?

[Ben E Lou]

So, are non-players allowed to comment about the moves in this?I would sure think so (and hope that y'all would!)

[Tekneek]

Alrighty. Austria seems awfully trusting of Italy. I'm not sure if that faith is warranted, especially with the way the Venice Army held. The temptation to stab might be too much, even this early in the game. Sorry if I am going to make those negotiations difficult between you guys. :) Taking Trieste away will deprive Austria of a second build (assuming they take Greece in the Fall). Of course, Army Budapest could make this bounce, but they might have visions of taking Rumania.

Turkey also must have Russia completely on their side, else they could be in a real pinch in short order. A Russian/Austrian alliance, that somehow managed to keep Italy in check, could put Turkey under quickly. Best hope for Turkey is for Italy to go after Austria and somehow keep Russia from taking a center from them next turn.

[Radii]

Speaking as an observer(which I will do as long as I don't become privy to alliance discussion whether by accident or on purpose, if that happens I'll keep my mouth shut)... I wonder about the Black Sea and if there is a Turkish/Russian alliance or if there was an agreement to DMZ the Black Sea and Russia went against it.

I also wonder what caused a bounce in Burgundy, whether that was dumb luck or if one of those two powers found out that the other had a trick up their sleeve.

England/France is always great to watch, who dives into the Enlgish Channel first :)

[Tekneek]

I also wonder what caused a bounce in Burgundy, whether that was dumb luck or if one of those two powers found out that the other had a trick up their sleeve.

Or they *want* us to think something is up... ;)

[Alf]

Initial alliance probabilities

- France and England
- Rusia and Turkey
- Italy and Germany
- Austria : I don't see an alliance yet

(interesting guys, I just love this game !)

[Alf]

dola, when are next orders due so that we observers can watch and comment !

[PackerFanatic]

Next orders are due Thursday.

And I think you will see where my alliance lies after that :)

[Radii]

Ah yeah, I only sent that out via e-mail.

Fall 1901: Thursday 3pm EST
Retreats if applicable: Friday 3pm EST
Builds: Friday or Monday 3pm EST pending Retreat turn.

[Radii]

preliminary orders are in from everyone, though of course changes can occur between now and 3pm. I hope to run this one on time, though I am scheduled to have my PC upgraded at an unknown time this week *crosses fingers*

[Alf]

Just run them now if you have everybody moves :) in case of PC crash.

[Radii]

Processing now. Results shortly :)

FALL 1901 Moves

http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html (updated, it was cached for me from Monday still, you might have to refresh the main page and the Fall 1901 page to get the orders/moves to show up).

Headlines
--RUSSIA, GERMANY CALL IT A DRAW IN THE BATTLE FOR SWEDEN
--ITALIANS INVADE AFRICA, CLAIM TUNIS FOR HOMELAND.

--ENGLISH ARMY LANDS IN MAINLAND EUROPE, CONTROLS BELGIUM


Our only bounce this turn is in Sweden, between Germany and Russia. The Balkans are efficiently gobbled up, leaving Sweden as the only unowned supply center in the game.

We have no retreats today so we move directly to the build phase for tomorrow.

[Warhammer]

Wow, that army in Galicia is a threat to Vie and to Bud. Wonder which way Russia will go. Could a JUGGERNAUT be in the works?

Sorry, just couldn't resist!

[Tekneek]

As far as Turkey is concerned, that should be in the works! :)

Losing Black Sea is not too good for Turkey. Without some slick diplomacy, their days could be numbered.

The website has been updated(http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html) and you can see the builds and the map going into Spring 1902.


Spring 1902 orders are due Wednesday at 3pm.

[Radii]

I can't wait to see how Spring 1902 plays out. Major alliances should become obvious everywhere on the map. The only truly interesting thing,I think, from the build phase, is where Russia chose to put its one new army. A sign of non-agression? Placement anywhere but Moscow would have likely showed what Russia's immediate plans are.

[PackerFanatic]

I could be majorly screwed...

[Radii]

I could be majorly screwed...

With the right alliances right now, anyone in the game could be majorly screwed :)

[Warhammer]

[Ben E Lou]

[PackerFanatic]

Very...heh.

[Ben E Lou]

Germany is on the ropes, and the juggernaut moves forward.

[Radii]

Cool! This turn ought to be interesting.


That could be quite an understatement.

Spring 1902 Movement Complete


--GERMAN ARMY DISLODGED FROM RUHR THANKS TO FRANCO-ENGLISH ALLIANCE
--ENGLISH SUPPORT ALLOWS RUSSIA TO OVERTAKE SWEDEN
--RUSSIA MOVES TOWARDS WESTERN EUROPE, SUPPORTS TURKISH HOLDINGS IN BULGARIA
--ITALIANS THWARTED IN MOVE TO DOMINATE SOUTHEASTERN WATERWAYS
--AUTRIA INEXPLICABLY VACATES GREECE, MOVES NAVAL RESOURCES TO ALBANIA

There appears to be a major convergance towards Germany, and one must wonder if the Germans have any friends at all.

No changes occur this turn in the Balkan supply centers, though there may now be a huge opening in greece for someone.



Germany's only retreat option is into Kiel, though Germany is allowed to choose to disband the unit instead, which would allow a fleet to be built next year assuming Germany doesn't lose any supply centers. Germany has until 3pm Thursday to issue the retreat order(though I will process it as soon as I see it and get the updated map out.

All Spring 1902 orders listed above.

[Warhammer]

Yeah, I think I would rather go out to a juggernaut than a F/E.

I think it is long term suicide for England to aid Russia. France I can understand, Russia no.

Note to self, never take the center position when other people know others better than they know you...

Note to self, never take the center position when other people know others better than they know you...To some degree, my allegiances were up in the air. What tipped the scales in favor of the direction I've chosen was the decision to bounce Russia in Sweden, combined with England getting two builds in '01. An F/G against a 5-center England holds very little hope for advancing when germany has to deal with a fight with Russia. I'm usually more of a pragmatist than anything else.

[Radii]

It was interesting to see France and England obviously working together but at the same time bouncing each other in the English Channel.

Actually, that can work very well. England could have been stopped from getting 5 builds had you not suggested the Burgundy bump. I had been planning going to Ruhr, still should have done it in hindsight.

Germany could have survived a fight with Russia, I was pondering moving to the Baltic, and even had I not moved there, I was still in a position to fend off Russia. Germany was not in bad shape until everyone moved in. Russia is the big enemy of Germany and England. England could have VERY easily moved to St. Pete, and had they done so, Russia would have been declawed. England SHOULD have made the move anyway seeing the Turkey and Russia cooperation.

As I said before, I should have volunteered for one of the side powers, not a central power. Oh well.

I assumed that, and I've seen that strategy used often before where england/france agree just to bounce each other there for some time. It does make life easier for some time.

Spring 1902 Retreat

Germany has pulled its dislodged army back into Kiel.


I will update the game map tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I'm not going to say too much, but I cannot believe the lack of communication going on in this game. Regardless of whether or not you are going to work with someone, you should still talk in Diplomacy. It's just not happening in this game.

I am pretty much dead with no hope of surviving at this point. I am just absolutely positively amazed at how SkyDog is playing the board. I would have loved to have taken him out early, but no one was willing to talk. Just amazing.

[Radii]

The german fleet in Denmark has disbanded.

Build orders are up next, they are due Thursday 3pm. I am out of town Friday-Sunday and one of our players is also out of town this weekend, so our deadline for Spring 1903 movement is going to be next Tuesday at 3pm.

Spring 1903 orders are due Tuesday at 3pm.

It wouldn't be any fun if everyone was quiet. The beauty of the game is when you and an ally are about to eliminate a power, but that weakened power keeps talking to you until they finally convince you to stab your ally. I really love those moments. That is when you find out who the real players are.

[Radii]

a quick note... this has been delayed until Thursday at 3pm at the request of a number of the players. I would always rather see a delay than see people send in orders w/o finishing negotiations, or some country not have any orders at all. :)

all orders are in and I am working on this now.

Spring 1903 Movement


--GERMANY TAKES BELGIUM, FRENCH FORCED TO RETREAT
--FRENCH NAVY LANDS ON ENGLISH MAINLAND, BUT FOR HOW LONG?
--AUSTRAIN FLEET SECURES GREECE
--RUSSIA PRESENTS STRONG DEFENSE AGAINST AUSTRIAN/ITALIAN ALLIANCE


A lot of standoffs this turn, espicially in the southeastern portion of the map, Austria, Turkey, Italy, and Russia is about to get extremely interesting, while England/France/Germany and possibly Russia started to get interesting in the last couple of turns and the positioning and conflict in the western part of the map is continuing to ramp up.

Game Map: http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html

FALL 1903

--TURKEY CONTROLS SOUTHEASTERN SEAS, DRIVES ITALY OUT OF IONIAN
--GERMANY HOLDS BELGIUM, GAINS STRENGTH DURING THE WINTER
--FRANCE VACATES LIVERPOOL
--RUSSIA STRENGHTENS DEFENSES, FORCES AUSTRIAN ARMY OUT OF GALACIA


Game Map is updated: http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html


FALL Retreat orders due next.

Austrian Army in Galacia will retreat to Vienna(if they chose to disband their only build option would be... an army in Vienna, so there is no point offering this option).

Italy, however, has a decision to make:

Italy: Fleet Ionian Sea can retreat to Adriatic Sea or Albania or Apulia or Naples

Or that fleet may disband, allowing Italy to build something else in the Winter if they choose.


Italy has until Thursday to make this decision, though sooner would be nice :)


After Italy's decision is made and announced, France will have to remove one unit, while Germany gets a build, which must be in Berlin, and may be either an army or a fleet.

SPRING 1904 MOVEMENT

--AUSTRIAN RADIO FAILURE ALLOWS TURKEY TO TAKE OVER GREECE, AUSTRIAN ARMY ROUTED
--FRENCH ARMY RECLAIMS BELGIUM FROM GERMANS, GERMAN UNIT DISLODGED
--FRENCH AND ENGLISH NAVIES MAKE CONCERTED PUSH TO THE SOUTH

This one is a pretty exciting turn. Austria unfortunately sent in a couple of invalid support orders, causing most of his moves to simply be holds(the 'radio failure' mentioned above). A couple of supply centers change hands in Greece and Belgium, while there is some major re-positioning that appears to be taking place by Italy, France and England. In order to progress, a couple of countries have now found it necessary to leave their back doors wide open to allies, the ultimate sign of trust.


Game Map is updated: http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html


NOTE: The first game map I put up I screwed up Germany's orders(if anyone happened to see that early on). If you click on the wrong place on the map when inputting orders you end up issuing a support order instead of a move. I had to roll that back and fix it. The map should now be correct.

[Radii]

All of the orders for this turn:

[Radii]

Germany has to retreat out of Belgium. They may either retreat to Holland or disband.

[Radii]

Germany has retreated to Holland and we are ready for Fall 1904 Movement to begin. These orders are due 3pm on Friday.

The game map has been updated with the retreat move:

[TargetPractice6]

And Austria cracks under the pressure of the mighty Russo-Turk force. :D

[PackerFanatic]

Looks like I am going to be the first to go...damn newbie...heh.

[Radii]

I'm not counting anyone out yet. It's hard to totally wipe someone out in this game.

[Radii]

All orders are in, I am working on this now. This is going to be a very very interesting turn in multiple places.

[Radii]

Fall 1904


--NATIONAL HOLIDAY DECLARED IN LONDON, ENGLISH CELEBRATE SPOILS OF WAR AS THEY TAKE HOLLAND, KIEL, AND PORTUGAL DURING THE FALL MONTHS
--GERMAN ARMY DECIMATED, LOSES FOOTHOLD IN HOLLAND AND KIEL TO ENGLISH
--ITALIANS LOSE FOOTHOLD IN SOUTHERN SEAS
--FRENCH GAIN EDGE IN MEDITERRANEAN BUT GIVES UP PORTUGAL
--RUSSIA GAINS STRENGTH, ADVANCING INTO SERBIA
--AUSTRIA/HUNGARY LOSES ALL PREVIOUS GAINS



Daaaaammmmmmnnnnnn...

Only Italy and Turkey stayed static this turn in terms of supply centers(this *turn*, not this year), everyone else either gained or lost something on this turn. Turkey does hold on to Greece to earn a build.

Austria and Germany have been severely beaten back and both appear to be on their last legs.

England had one of those incredible turns where everything went perfectly.

Angband is down at the moment it appears, I'll get the site up in an alternate location momentarily.

[Radii]

Temporarily, we will have the website here: http://fbcb-fofc.com/fofc/index.html


I'll update angband when it comes back up.

[Radii]

We have 4 retreats(!!!) that will be due on Monday. Remember that each may retreat or disband, and remember to consider your build orders in that decision:

Russia: Army Galicia can retreat to Bohemia or Ukraine or Warsaw
Germany: Fleet Kiel can retreat to Helgoland Bight
Austria: Army Serbia can retreat to Budapest
Italy: Fleet Tyrrhenian Sea can retreat to Naples or Rome or Tuscany

[Radii]

Assuming everyone retreats instead of disbanding units, here is what builds everyone would have, and the total supply centers owned after 1904:


Austria: Removes 1 unit
England: Builds 3 units
Germany: Removes 2 units
Russia: Builds 1 unit
Turkey: Builds 1 unit

Centers

Austria: 3
England: 8
France: 5
Germany: 2
Italy: 4
Russia: 7
Turkey: 5

[TargetPractice6]

Wow, I'm impressed that England pulled off that move in Holland. Well done!

[Warhammer]

Actually it wasn't all that impressive, he knew what I was doing. Whether that was my fault or not, he has France by the balls and I think basically said, you help me, or you're out. I was offering to split France up with Paris and Marseilles for me, and the rest going to him in exchange for Denmark.

Can't say I blame him if SD signed on board with him. The thing that sucks, is right out of the box I was slammed by a three way, and there was nothing I could really do about it since Russia and England are so tight. That is what is really driving the game right now.

[Celeval]

That is what is really driving the game right now.
We both know you're going to pay me back when Telluride rolls all over the Gridlock on monday. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I wish that would happen, my luck in IHOF has been terrible this year!

[Radii]

Spring 1905 Movement

--English allow French to occupy Holland
--Italy advances westward towards France, loses Tunis and Naples
--Russia occupies Berlin

given the fireworks of Fall 1905, this turn went with a whimper, a lot of positioning and setting things up for the fall. Italy appears to be in quite a bit of trouble, as is Germany, of course. Russia, France and Turkey for now have made gains at the expense of England, Italy and Germany.

Game map is updated: http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html

Italy was dislodged from Tunis and may retreat into the Ionian, North Africa, or disband.

I'll process Italy's retreat whenever I get it, and we have a bit longer between turns for the Fall. Fall 1905 is due next Thursday. WSUCougar is temporarily running Turkey as CastleRock is going out of town for a bit over a week, while another country is out of town through the weekend.

[Radii]

Italy has retreated from Tunis to the Ionian Sea. Game map is updated with this.

http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html

Fall 1905 orders are officially due Wednesday.

[WSUCougar]

I await final instructions from the Great Pasha before he sails on his brief voyage, but I, his humble servant, am open for business if you wish to speak to Turkey. I already have some thoughts in mind, which I will convey to the respective leaders soon enough.

[Radii]

Fall 1905 orders are officially due Wednesday.


And by Wednesday, clearly, I mean Friday.


Fall 1905 Movement


--Turkey becomes full fledged power in the South and East in Europe
--English army in Liverpool spends months at sea, lands in Spain
--Austria crushed, surrender inevitable
--Germans see that the end is near


Turkey ends up with gains in Naples, Serbia, and Trieste in 1905. Italy takes a French homeland center in Marsailles, but loses its own foothold in Naples, and also loses Tunis. France gains Tunis and Holland to remain even. Russia gains Berlin. Austria and Germany will both start Spring 1906 with one unit.


Game map is updated here: http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/f1905m-o.html


There is one retreat. Austria can retreat from Trieste to Tyrolia. But if they retreat, they will have to disband a unit, either the one in Tyrolia or Vienna, and they can choose to simply disband the unit now instead of retreating.


Upcoming Winter Builds

After the retreat:

Germany will have to remove one unit
Italy will have to remove one unit
Russia will earn 1 build
Turkey will earn 3 builds

England/France stay the same.


Retreats are due Monday 3pm but will be processed as soon as received. Builds will be due Tuesday 3pm but again, processed as soon as received following the retreat.

[Ben E Lou]

Anyone else having problems accessing the game board right now?

[Radii]

For those interested here, angband appears to be down and has been down most of the day I think, so people haven't had access to the game map. I've put up a mirror here:

http://fbcb-fofc.com/fofc/index.html

and we've extended things to Wednesday.

Spring 1906

--Germany, Austria each pushed out of last remaining supply center
--Italy loses Marsailles, fails to secure Rome
--Major powers remain quiet, presumably positioning themselves for Fall.

[Radii]

We have 3 retreats:

Italy: Fleet Marseilles can retreat to Piedmont
Germany: Army Munich can retreat to Bohemia or Ruhr or Tyrolia
Austria: Army Vienna can retreat to Bohemia or Tyrolia


These will be due tomorrow and then we'll push on into the fall of 1906!

[Radii]

Austria: Army Vienna DISBAND
Germany: Army Munich → Tyrolia
Italy: Fleet Marseilles → Piedmont

Austria has decided to bow out peacefully, while Germany's retreat was made via the "pull a territory out of a hat" method.

Game map is updated: http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html

[Radii]

I was pointed to a section of the rulebook that I was not aware of that states "if a player fails to order a retreat when necessary, that unit is disbanded"

Based on that Rule, Germany's army in Munich is disbanded, instead of retreating to Tyrolia. This has been updated on the game map.

[Radii]

Fall 1906

Holy crap!

-- Austria, Germany officially surrender
-- England makes landfall... everywhere. France to make last stand in Marsailles
-- Turkey takes Tunis, loses Trieste and Serbia
-- Russia takes over entire former Austrian Empire, threatens Turkey in Armenia

France is down to 1 supply center. Italy 2. This is essentially a 3 man contest now. On that last turn England took 4 French supply centers. While I'm sure they could have taken some in the spring and some in the fall, that was pretty impressive.


Game map is updated: http://www.angband.org/~radii/dip/fofc/index.html


Turkey has to retreat from Serbia. They may retreat to greece or disband. If they retreat, they will have to remove a unit.


After that retreat we will have the following builds:

Russia: Builds 4 units
France: Removes 3 units
Italy: Removes 1 unit
Turkey: Removes 1 unit(pending retreat/disband order)

Only those Turkish fools stand between the Czar and complete domination of Eastern Europe!

[PackerFanatic]

I am curious...did this game just putter out after I left?

[Celeval]

Essentially.. I think we have orders in for the next turn, but there hasn't been any processing.

[Radii]

essentially, i'm a jackass! I sent this stuff home but seem to always get distracted by something else and forget. Work is totally dead right now, and I've e-mailed the latest stuff back to work. This will run tomororw for sure! I'm really sorry I let it slide.

[biological warrior]

Updates pls.

[PackerFanatic]

I've been wondering too, heh...

[TargetPractice6]

The Russian winter is pretty harsh. I thought I'd give the troops a break and resume the invasion when it warms up.

[Celeval]

S'alright, the English are enjoying their vacations in Spain.

And Germany.

And France.
