I might be up for one, but I also have no points. I had a bad experience with my one and only gunboat (It seemed awfully like metagaming/talking, but I didn't say anything) and wouldn't mind getting a good experience. :-)

I've had a few good experiences in Gunboats, but always wondered: How would one identify a stalemate, and go to a draw in one?

gunboat is fun, but it is more luck based (how people move) and guess work.

When I've got some points, I'd be happy to play in one, although I'd need 48 hr+ (to allow for having a life at the weekends)
Ursa (1617 D)
16 Jun 09 UTC
I'm interested too but for same reason as Pete U a phase length around 30 hours or more would come in handy.
airborne (154 D)

Ok I'll make the game Friday to give people some time to get some points.
48 hours, PPSC, 5/10 buy-in.

It's going to take me a bit longer than Friday....

Gunboat diplomacy means a Dip game without the press. Press between player is strictly forbidden and sometimes some chatlike meta-press is allowed in global (or oif anyone wants to draw or pause). The game drives only on entering orders. Intentions toward other players must be made clear in subtle ways, by bouncing and/or supports.


I once played a game called 'Gunboat with a diary', a very funny variant in which each player keeps record of his motives, thoughts and frustrations about the game and shares them afterwards.
Ursa (1617 D)
16 Jun 09 UTC
Actually I think I am going to keep a diary and share it afterwards with you guys. It would be like an EOG-statement that way, and writing about the game really helps me to focus and see possibilities.

Cool. Count me in please.
texasdeluxe (516 D(B))

Ok so this thread is so everyoen can call me stupid...
but is it really stupid to not expect and army to be able to Retreat into one of your own territories? I had no idea someone could use a retreat move offensively! instead of retreating to their their own territory they can retreat to my supply centre?

i'm sure somewhere on the full gaem site it will tell me that's ok but seriously I think i'm quiting a game over this...

Sitter needed.
Sorry to ask for a sitter again so soon, but I'm leaving for about ten days, and I won't have a scrap of technology where I'm going. I'm only in three games, one a gunboat, the other two are in the final stages of the game, and won't really require much negotiation, I just need someone to finish them out for me. My email is in my profile, please let me know if you are interested, I leave in about 36 hours.

Is it okay to "donate" your supply centres to you ally
Personally I would never do this but I would interested to hear what other player think.
Imagine a player who realizes that he can't win, rather than see his enemy take his supply centers he gives them to his ally, including supporting his ally's movement into his SCs. Ethical or not ethical?

Queston about gameplay?
If I move my troops onto an undefended territory, I will automatically gain control, correct?

The reason I ask is that the rules never mentioned anything about capturing territory.
