| Dc159 - Possible GM extension - deathblade_penguin (Mar 18, 2008, 4:35 am) |
I am granting an up to 24 hours extension for this winter's builds. There are 3 players who i wish to clarify their winter builds (and I have just emailed all of you)... as soon as I have clarification from them, I'm running the winter turn. If i reach Wednesday 9pm, Australian EST -i'm adjudicating anyway.
Note:
1) If France chooses to build a fleet in MAR, Harry can build it on the west coast (gascony side) or east coast (Gulf of lyon side).
2) If Italy choose to build a fleet in ROME, Garry can build on the west coast (Tyrenhian sea) or the east coast (venice side).
3) Fleets can now be built in Paris and Moscow.

| Dc159 - More deluge Rules - deathblade_penguin (Mar 18, 2008, 4:01 am) |
Dc159
Dear Players. It seems that our players are much more thorough in looking at the rules. Two situations have been asked of me that now require clarification. (Trout - can you please add the clarified rules to the deluge wiki site).
The main one of this is the A/F rules. It seems that when you are moving an army across one sea space you cannot create an a/F; you must convoy (or fast ferry). Given this new information, In fall 1901 Italy fleet in the ION was seen to CONVOY the army to Greece. My decision on that matter is final. POINT 2 G now applies from the start of Spring 1902.
**********************************************************
1. Creation of coasts. When a land space sinks at the end of a winter, coastal provinces may be created. If there are ANY fleets BUILT in these territories that will have multi coasts, the player must decide during the current WINTER which coast the fleet will be on. For established fleets, the GM will assign a coast based on the previous fall move.
Eg at the end of winter 1901, venice sinks creating 2 coasts in ROME, Piedmont and Tuscany.
if Italy builds a fleet in Rome, he must declare a coast.
If France had move a fleet to piedmont, it would be placed on the gulf of lyon coast side.
If a fleet had been moved to Tuscany, it would be placed on the gulf of lyon coast side.
2. Convoy (also know as fast Ferry in some versions of the game)
A fleet that carries an army over one sea space is convoying or fast ferrying. That is classified as it's move. If a CONVOY fails, then an A/F is created.
3. Army- Fleet Rules.
a) An A/F may only consist of two units belonging to the same country. IF a resulting move would see a creation of a multi-country A/F then the Army is returned to space it embarked from.
b) An A/F has the same "combat factor" as a single fleet; it may attack, support or be supported.
c) An A/F cannot convoy another army.
d) An Army cannot board an A/F.
e) An A/F can only exist in a sea space - it cannot be ordered to a coastal province as an entity - but it may support some other unit into a coastal province.
f) If an army is ordered to board a fleet, and the A/F is prevented from moving to another sea space the A/F remains intact.
g) If an army is ordered to board a fleet, and the fleet is attacked from another sea space, or if the fleet is ordered to support another unit, the army is considered to have failed to board and it remains in its land province. This is true even if the fleet successfully defends itself against attack.
h) A fleet which lands an army in a coastal province, before making a move, may then support that army to land as its move, or it may move elsewhere. If an army's disembarkation fails, the A/F remains intact and any orders for fleet movement will not be carried out.
i) A fleet may not simultaneously land one army and pick up another.
j) If an A/F is annihilated, then both units are removed from the board.
k) An A/F can be ordered to HOLD. (ie A Lon embarks F Nth, a/F nth Holds)
l) Retreats, Dislodgements and Annihilation. If an A/F is dislodged whilst trying to disembark its A, this move fails and the A and F must retreat together. If an A/F is dislodged and can only retreat to a land space (no suitable sea space being available), the F may retreat but the A is destroyed.
m)Where an A disembarks from the F, and the F then moves away without supporting the A; if the now vacated sea space is then occupied by another unsupported F or A/F, the A disembarkation succeeds; if the second occupation is supported, the disembarkation fails and the A continues with the F.
SO - Now you are completly confused.
CORRECT MOVES
A(Lon) E F(ENG); A/F(ENG) - MAO; A(MAO) D Por.
A/F(ENG); A(ENG) D Bre; F(ENG) - NTH.
A/F(ENG); F(ENG) S A(ENG) D Bre.
F(ENG) convoys A(Lon) - Bre.
INCORRECT MOVES
A(Lon) E F(ENG); F(ENG) S A(Lon) - Bre.

Additionally, I am seeking a replacement for France, however I will not be stalling the game at the present time. If we have no replacement france by the next deadline, france's units will still be considered in cd. If we get a replacement france a suitable amoutn of time will be allowed for negotiations and change of orders.

| DC159 Russian EOG Statement - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Hi folks,
Well, thanks to Penger for an excellent game as always. Also thanks to all my fellow players for joining in. It was kindof a quiet game, but one that I really enjoyed. I have to admit that I did spend quite a bit of time looking at the maps to see which provinces would soon be submerged and planning out how to move the troops.
Things started out fairly well - I managed to have good relations with all the powers - most importantly managing to secure a peace with England in the north and a neutral border with Germany. Fairly confident that the West would be duking it out, I hooked up with Nick and initiated the R/T Steamroller. It worked with smashing success.
The thing is, this whole game is a simple race to the middle of the board. Its one of the only variants I know that the middle powers have the advantage - they are already in position to win. The outer powers need to first smash their way through the central defenses before being able to gain high ground in Switzerland.
Weirdly though, the strategy articles for Deluge suggest that Russia should attack Turkey and take the Turkish high-grounds that last till near the end of the game. This didn't really strike me as a good idea - as Turkey is always a tough nut to crack. Getting involved in a turf war that would last several years would do nothing but impede Russia's chances of getting to the middle of the board in time.
Nontheless, I did try to convince folks that I'd be going for Turkey. It was a nasty trick on my part, but happily it worked out for me. =P
By 1904 I believe I had over half the remaining centers on the board. At that point, IF France, Italy and Turkey had banded together they MIGHT have had a chance to stop me.. But as I told Penger, there's a reason why most variants declare the winning condition to be half + one. I felt the key province to the puzzle was Tyrolia, and did what I could to protect it. In the meantime I allowed France to be first into Switzerland before knocking him out and pretended that I was interested in a Russian / Turkish draw to Nick in an attempt to keep him onside. (Sorry Nick, have to admit that the only thing I was interested in in this game was a solo... Hope you can forgive me there..)
So once again, my thanks to my valiant opponents. Congratulations to Penger for running yet another fun and successful game, and kudos to Nick for being with me there all the way to the end and surviving the flood. =P
Cheers everyone. See you all on the next board - where I totally expect to be creamed. *grin*

| Dc159 As expected - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Dc159
Nick, Trout
As somewhat expected the Russian SOLO that was proposed has passed so this game officially end at Spring 1906.
Although it was a difficult game, I (and others) definately gained some insights in the variant of deluge and how it could best be run. I am going to run a second run of deluge - as straight gunboat game in the next couple of weeks. If you have any feedback on the game - please dont hesitate to let me know.
End of Game Statements can be published in the DC 189 forum.
Final Standings
Russia - SOLO - Trout 7 SC
Turkey - Survivial - Nick 5 SC
France - Survivial - (in CD) 1 SC

England - Eliminated 1904 - Andy
Austria - Eliminated 1904 - Glenn
