Me too.

can you set up a game with a password and PM me and anyone else who wishes to join?

Ok i will do that later, now i am at work with my mobile and it is not very easy to use :)

yeah send me a PM as well

Me too!

Same here. It'd be interesting. =) I've seen these before but I was always too late to join. Send me a PM! =)

I'm interested, if there's still room.

One spot left, onar included :)

What's the bet?

Please make it low enough so I can join!

Im confused. How does it work? Allies are set and maintained? The game ends in a draw for the winning alliance? I would play.

Does Italy have to stay static for first year like the rules state in the board game or are they free to move around.then decide which side to join.
I've played this in person and it is fun.
If there is a spot open I would like to join send me a password and I'm in.

In board game a coin flip is used to determine which side Italy joins.

I say do it the same way as real life: Italy decides which team gives him the better offer.

I'll post the set of complete rules in one hour - one and half - when i'll be at home. Well, there are a lot of people.. We might start 2 games :) anyway, italy can choose the side anytime, but once decided, it can not swap. And it should not collide with anyone before choosing the side

I've played exactly this twice. Whichever side Italy chooses wins. It's fun, but there's really no way to keep the side Italy picks from winning, especially if it joins the Allies.

Now, if the alliances were broken after the other side was destroyed, that would be interesting. An Anglo-French war in 1919?

I'll note your suggestion down invictus :)

Hm, I wrote rules on a fixed alliance variant some months ago. I believe they are posted on Baron Samedi's profile?

if there's room- I'd play. sounds pretty intense

sorry pals i had some extra work, i delay this project to tomorrow (i am in italy, it is night right now :) )
bye all!

Alright. Whenever. Just make sure I can join. : P

Me too!!! I WANNA JOIN I WANNA JOIN!!!! Lol. ;-)

i'm in too set it up

Sounds good... Surely Italy would keep switching sides when it suites him? I'd enjoy being Italy!
Doesn't Russia just lose very quickly?

I'll play if all alliances dissolve after a certain time (either when the enemy is defeat is after a set number of years)

1905 Japan beats Imperial Russia in the far east, curbing the Russian empires expansion efforts and making Japans industrialisation noticable to the world.

This is the first time a European nation has lost a war to a non-european nation in almost three hundred years (counting the US as European/Western) This fact did not go unnoticed, however Russia was considered backward by European standards.

You can't simulate this in dip, but try hearts of Iron 3, i assume it supports multiplayer.

"This is the first time a European nation has lost a war to a non-european nation in almost three hundred years."
Actually before that war Italy was defeated by Ethiopia 1895-1896 this is very important because it confirms Italy's military weakness prior to WWI and it lead to the second I-E war in 1935-1946.

I would assume that it'd be England, France and Russia?
v
AH, Germany and Turkey?

with Italy neutral/able to choose sides?
I have played like this on another site, and sadly, Russia is always eliminated by AH, G and T.

Has anyone got another idea?
maybe....

EFR v AGI?

T is neutral/able to choose a side?

ok:
Here is the link to one i have created- PM me and i will give password, else leave ur name here.
Countries yet to be sorted, but we've a day to do so
