2 Retreats are due!
Greek F Athens
Roman F Ausonian
Note there were lots of bounces, so be sure you order a retreat to a legit space, and if 2 units retreat to the same space, they both disband!
NEXT: Summer retreats due Tuesday 6/23, tho I’ll send out whenever I get the two sets.
That’s it!

I completely missed some orders, sorry folks! Egyptian orders are corrected below.
What this means:
Greek Army Miletus is dislodged, and may retreat to Byz, Gal, or Isa.
Rome: Build 3
Carthage: Build 1
Persia: Build 3
Greece: Build 0 (build 1 if Mil OTB)
Egypt: Build 1
Because of the mixup, I’ll make Winter (and the Autumn retreat) due Tuesday 5/19, 10am Pacific.
(if I have them all Monday I’ll still run it Monday evening)

Builds are out! There seems to be a balanced approach all around, those who could do so took a mix of armies and fleets… and of course it just wouldn’t be the Ancient Med without a bit of ancient press…
"The Roman Senate wish to give notice to our friends in Greece and Egypt that a Roman Fleet has not entered Cretan territorial waters"
(I guess this turned up on Cretian shores in the form of a stone tablet – in a bottle – the question of course remains how they got it in there)

The tension and battles right off the bat are fantastic! Only Carthage and Rome manage a peaceful turn, while the east is full of early conflict – Roman and Persian armies clash over Chersonesus, while Egyptian fleets have a tussle with the Roman navy over Crete. What’s this leave us? A nice statistical distribution of builds:
Rome: Build 3
Carthage: Build 3
Persia: Build 2
Greece: Build 1
Egypt: Build 2
BUILDS will be due Friday May 1, 10pm Central US time. This is just to knock them out by the weekend. If someone is late w the short turn, I won’t run an NBR till Monday.

As all of you know, turn in prelims, prelims, prelims. I don’t expect any issue w NMR’s etc w this group, but still turning in a set of orders, right off, after each set of results means you can sit back and relax… sleeping soundly w the knowledge that if something does come up, you’ve at least got something in. You can always change your orders later, so just pick a prelim set and submit those, even if you’re not really sure what you want to do yet.

Subject: dc252 - A Lovers Quarrel - Pre Start
Greetings to you all, and welcome to dc252, A Lovers Quarrel.
There should be no surprises in this one, as I’ve played or GM’d with all of you before, and I believe most of you have played in games together. Normally I send out for confirmations in games before taking a number, but since I know you all personally, I can skip that step.
A bit about the title… Ancient Med is one of my favorite variants – it is an intimate and tactical game, with more subtle strategies than what we see in standard. It has been played 5 times in dc, so it’s one of the more heavily explored variants…
To read up on the stats, see:
http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/country_stats.php?map=Ancient%20Med.
Each player faces a dilemma from the start, and will have insufficient units to cover all the necessary frontiers… do you take to the seas and control the center of the action, or do you fortify the perimeter with armies? This is primarily a naval game, in which convoys are key – they can move units around the edge much faster than by marching on foot – yet an unexpected army move can get troops behind the defenses and turn your empire to rubble. Be aware of the center of the map, in which all 4 sea zones border each other, even via the diagonal corners. Advancing across this center in any direction is one of the keys to winning.
The game only has 5 players – yet still 34 centers just like in Standard. This makes the first year pretty easy in the sense that most players should be able to come out of it with 2 or 3 centers of growth. But after that, someone is going to get cut out of the future spoils quite quickly.
Email: Add this email address to your contacts! mike-at-fuzzylogicllc-dot-net, this is not my old address for games. For those of you playing in two of my games, yes, you’ll have a different email to send each game to! I’m finishing off the old games at the old address.
Next – Countries… I believe this map is completely balanced, and no one power affords an edge over any other… countries will be assigned randomly. However pls let me know if you’ve played the game before, if you have I’ll extend the courtesy to ensure you get a country you haven’t played last time. I don’t see that any of you have played this variant here before, so I’m guessing not.
So get back to me by Friday, and I’ll get the game started w countries as soon as I’ve heard from everyone – at the right email address.
Enjoy,

Greetings to you all, and welcome to dc252, A Lovers Quarrel.
There should be no surprises in this one, as I’ve played or GM’d with all of you before, and I believe most of you have played in games together. Normally I send out for confirmations in games before taking a number, but since I know you all personally, I can skip that step.
A bit about the title… Ancient Med is one of my favorite variants – it is an intimate and tactical game, with more subtle strategies than what we see in standard. It has been played 5 times in dc, so it’s one of the more heavily explored variants…
To read up on the stats, see:
http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/country_stats.php?map=Ancient%20Med.
Each player faces a dilemma from the start, and will have insufficient units to cover all the necessary frontiers… do you take to the seas and control the center of the action, or do you fortify the perimeter with armies? This is primarily a naval game, in which convoys are key – they can move units around the edge much faster than by marching on foot – yet an unexpected army move can get troops behind the defenses and turn your empire to rubble. Be aware of the center of the map, in which all 4 sea zones border each other, even via the diagonal corners. Advancing across this center in any direction is one of the keys to winning.
The game only has 5 players – yet still 34 centers just like in Standard. This makes the first year pretty easy in the sense that most players should be able to come out of it with 2 or 3 centers of growth. But after that, someone is going to get cut out of the future spoils quite quickly.
Email: Add this email address to your contacts! mike-at-fuzzylogicllc-dot-net, this is not my old address for games. For those of you playing in two of my games, yes, you’ll have a different email to send each game to! I’m finishing off the old games at the old address.
Next – Countries… I believe this map is completely balanced, and no one power affords an edge over any other… countries will be assigned randomly. However pls let me know if you’ve played the game before, if you have I’ll extend the courtesy to ensure you get a country you haven’t played last time. I don’t see that any of you have played this variant here before, so I’m guessing not.
So get back to me by Friday, and I’ll get the game started w countries as soon as I’ve heard from everyone – at the right email address.
Enjoy,
-mike[Reply] |
