Hi everyone!

Thought I'd finally join you all. Don't think I'll play a game for a while, but I wanted to reserve my username.

Would it be possible for a dialogue to come up for unsaved orders when you exit/switch to a different country's chat as it does with an unsaved message?

WW2 Is Broken

After playing a recent game, I'm convinced WW2 doesn't work:

The problem I saw as Britain is Libya and Turkey have too many SCs. Aside from how they're incredibly unrealistic, they give Italy too many fleets to control the Med, and Russia too much incentive to press southward. Also, the lack of connectivity between Red Sea and the Atlantic makes it a pain for Britain to support the Eastern Med. Instead, it gets stuck behind France's success or failure in the Western Med.

The implication is focusing on squishing out Britain while the rest of the map boils down to a stalemate. I'd like to see more SCs on the Eastern Front as well, and more subdivision of the territories. It'd be nice to see an actual race between the German blitz and Russian industrialization.

As for the West, I don't see much reason for France to even be a playable country. It has hardly any SCs to expand into, and becomes completely dependent on British support.

Lastly, I'd like to see some convoy supply centers like how the Axis and Allies Europe map works: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/172151/axis-allies-europe?size=large

Those are some interesting suggestions, Argo. After your finished creating this new Variant, let me know. I would happily help you play test it!

Or is this brilliant! This variant forces very quickly other countries to work together to stop a solo. Put history aside and think diplomacy. You need 45 sc to win and getting 20-30 can be easy but it usually relies on some implosion or team up to go further.

France and Britain are kinda stuck with each other, best friends or bitter enemies. France has the worst position needing a sugar daddy to support it.
Germany gets boged down on the way to Russia.
Russia overruns Europe if left to it's own devices.
While Italy if free to dominant the med but will have a tough time breaking into europe.

Caerus, I'm not really sure how to design maps on this. If I did, I would.

It seems like there should be an intuitive map design program where you just draw boxes, fill them in with color, slap labels on them, and click and drag what types of movement should be available, but that's not how it works.

Strider, I don't really mind the cooperation aspect. The map executes the balance between the Axis and Allies very well.

The problem is the map gets jammed up. Everyone rushes to their borders, and nothing happens. The ME gets squished out because it's the path of least resistance on the board with only 2 SCs deploying units while having a ton of ground to cover.

I've looked at other games played besides mine, and I've seen that many times, the only reason the map doesn't lock up is because someone goes AWOL.

Looking for VDip old timers for a project

Hi folks

Got an idea I wouldn't mind bouncing off a few VDip old timers. If your blood doesn't go red hot when you see a posting under my handle and you have maybe a couple of extra hours to give back to the Dip community each fortnight or month, I wouldn't mind starting a PM dialogue with you. If my subsequent PM discussion interests you, that's fantastic. If not, I won't stress either.

I feel like playing against someone, and someone good. I can't stomach the thought of playing one more game of diplomacy and wasting any more of my precious breath. You pick the variant : g/i, f/a, fg/rt, g/r I don't care as long as it's you versus me. Bring a lunch!

Is "Throwing" a Game Allowed?

I'm playing a game where one player has admitted to throwing a game to another because he's in a difficult position and isn't willing to play it out.

This game is becoming critically turned around because of this, so I'm wondering if it's possible to get the game cancelled because of it. I don't really want to do this since it's a neutral throwing the game to my ally who's been cooperating with me since the beginning, but it seems like the right thing to do.

Rinascimento Bets

I know that Rinascimento already divides PPSC pots based on relative strength. Is there a way to mod it so that the initial bet reflects the faction played? For example, Pisa would have a bet 1/4 the size of Venezia.
