Smid's Diplomacy Game Thread #3

[Gustaf]

Italy's moves seem to be particularly bold, especially for a country not known to make big moves early on.

interesting to try and guess who's aligned with whom off of the opening moves.  I'm sure the players at least have some idea, hopefully interacted with some of their neighbors and being rebuffed/well received

Is my alliance with Verin that obvious?

[Gustaf]

If you all agree I'm willing to end this carnage now as a win on points for France.

[Gustaf]

I apologize for disrupting the game everyone, but I basically had some wild nights in Berlin and didn't have any internet access.

Can I still turn in orders for the next round?

[Gustaf]

You recieved mine, right?

Official Communiqué

The Government of Italy delivers its profound sympathies to the Government of France following Operation Catapult (II). This Operation was deemed necessary to more firmly and powerfully engage with the enemies of the Kingdom of Italy.

We acknowledge and greatly appreciate the previous standing goodwill of the French Republic, and so offer the honorable Mr Gustaf exile in Italy, until such time as he can be established once again in the Élysée.

Rome
Summer 1910

I intend to encourage a resistance movement and then betray it for left-overs at the dinner table in Rome. (and, yes, I mean actual left-overs)

No hard feelings here, I'm beginning to think that I play with too high volatility in these games.

[Gustaf]

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

[Gustaf]

Cheers, PiT, for updating the map for me!

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

Russia!

Why would you draw it? There is a decent chance of someone outsmarting the others for a win.
