Re: Gobsmack - A Germany gunboat journal
LINK TO REFERENCED GAME: https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=387345 1905 & 1906 Spring 1905 As I suspected, Austria maintained AUTRIAN A (Tyr) and disbanded F (Tri). This is awkward, but by no means fatal to my position. Russia built F (St. P) (nc) and A (Mos), which is very favorable, and a ...

LINK TO REFERENCED GAME: https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=387345 1903 & 1904 Spring 1903 Man, 1902 was a slog. Fortunately for you and I both, I happen to be pressed for time, so these next few entries will be brief. :) England’s position is horrendous for offense, but not so bad for defen...

LINK TO REFERENCED GAME https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=387345 ^There's the link again to the game, for ease of reference. Alright, heading into 1902. Are you ready? *cracks knuckles* This was a year of tremendous indecision for me, so get ready for a slog. :) Spring 1902 England built F ...

The Home SC Theory
As I’ve deepened in Diplomacy experience and developed my play style, I’ve come to appreciate that, although each supply center on the board grants one unit, not all supply centers are of *equal value.* The positioning of supply centers on the board in relation to your country also matters, and shou...

Re: Normalize Killing Turkey Easily in Gunboat
Been playing a lot of gunboat lately. I have seen Turkey eliminated in only two, one on my way to an Austrian solo. https://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=381574#gamePanel In this gunboat game where Turkey was defeated, Russia/Italy had an unusually strong alliance: https://webdiplomacy.net/board...

Re: Criticism of the Lepanto
@eddy Richard Sharp calls that opening the “Key Lepanto.” :) I agree Italy ought not be the one to suggest a “friendly” Spring occupation of Trieste. Austria might propose this risky opening ***if*** he thinks that R/T are firmly allied from the get-go, and/or that Italy is hell-bent on an Austrian ...

Juggernaut panic
Another orthodoxy I remember from first learning Diplomacy is the dreaded "Juggernaut" alliance of R/T. The idea of these two nations teaming up is allegedly so threatening that it demands the full and immediate attention of all 5 remaining nations, and airtight coordination among them. I've been in...

Criticism of the Lepanto
I see a lot of Italy players defaulting into the "Lepanto" opening (i.e. army convoys to Tunis in F01, coupled with an attempt in F02 to convoy the Tunis army to Syria or Smyrna). When I was first learning Diplomacy, I remember the Lepanto being pushed as one of the standard openings. This however s...
