Hey, I think there is a naming error in the board. There are two Tyrs, Tyrolia and the Tyrrehenian sea. I checked other maps and it seems the sea should be TYS.

Hm, yes your right. But I don't think its a very urgent error, as there is no possible way for the two to get confused on a set of orders.

Yes, there are. But I can't think of any situation where it would be a problem.

Russia still has the Solovetsky Islands and France still has the Balearic Islands. Good to see our heritage survive.

I've been referring to it as Tyrh, so not an issue here.

A few minor Russian princes fled to the Solevetsky's, and most of the French government lives in the Balearics along with the rest of their military.

The Ottoman Army in Budapest is dislodged. With no viable avenue of retreat, the army surrenders, and is disbanded by force.

The British Fleet patrolling the North Sea is dislodged by an attacking German armada and is forced to retreat in disarray to Edinborough, the only available avenue of retreat.

Well, actually I'm wrong, since I think two (?) countries had units force-disbanded we'll have to have a Winter. Damn.

I also feel I should apologise for my poor performance as GM of this game. I have done poorly and reduced the fun of the game by bungling updates and GM decisions repeatedly, and I shall endeavour to do a better job in future.

No worries, Taii. Diplo has deceptively simple rules and can easily trip up even very experienced players.

There's actually legal set of moves that creates an irresolvable paradox...though it's very hard to pull off.

I thought the only paradox in the game stemmed from the convoy order, and it was fixed, but that later variants such as Colonial Diplomacy introduced paradoxes through the Suez Canal, or Trans-Siberian Railway?

Also I don't believe I've had any reason to complain about Tai's GMing of this game, just personally.

Those bastards!

I always thought the possibility of an irresolvable paradox added a delightful touch of the absurd.

I also play with the house rule that if you can convoy an army from Syria to St. Petersburg (or vis-a-versa) in a single turn you win the game.
