Practice Game Diplomacy 1600--DipAE02

Originally posted by morticia what is and how do you "blitz"?

a1) linebackers and defensive backs charge through the offensive line

a2) when you think you can sack the quarterback

b1) heavy armoured divisions rush forward with tactical air support without waiting for the infantry

b2) when you have sufficient armour and air superiority.

What either of those have to do with Diplomacy I have no idea

The Tzar demands the inmediate retreat of the Swedish forces in Ingria. We have to build there our Winter Palace, else three centuries from now, the peasants won't be able to take it, found the Soviet Union, etc. We appeal to Our cousin of Stockholm to consider the unpredictable consequences that this unprovoked agression will have in the space-time continuum. What will happen if the Soviet Union is founded in Swedish lands. Maybe the USA will be in Norway (hence changing its name to USN) and the Cold War will be even colder and Ho Chi Min will be born in Lappland and all may end with Santa Claus having to emigrate to Jamaica and herding igoanas instead of rheins.

Do you imagine a Rastafarian Santa?!

We need Ingria to build Our Winter Palace and restore coherence to future history. We hope that Our Swedish cousin understands the seriousness and trascendence of this issue and retreats promtly from Our province of Ingria.

In exchange we will gift Alaska to Sweden as soon as we have reached it, in the hope that the distortion of the future will be smaller in this case, due to the lack of any Winter Palace in that faraway territory. Though it may affect a sitcom or two.

More news:

I got a message from morticia saying that he will not be able to make this turn, due to some circumstances that make it very difficult to get online.

I am hoping that he will be able to join us back soon.

In the mean time, please submit orders for Sweden for the next turn.

Polish intelligence reports that heads are rolling among the Russian general staff after the confusion that resulted in the failure of Russian armies to advance on Poland. Morale in the armies is reported to be at a low level as a result.

Meanwhile the Polish High Command reassures the people of the eastern regions that they are confident of their ability to considerably reinforce  local garrisons in the near future.

Ehm... Tula is Russian territory, do not start making any unfounded claims in our land now, please. We were making a defensive maneouvre and some military exercesises to stretch our muscles. You know that of Red and Blue and let's see who takes the hill using only fake ammo. Both armies were so efficient that it eneded up in a tie with red blue and Russian flag waving proudly side by side on top of the hill.

For the fall, we have planned some more realistic exercises in the south, where Tatars are becoming a public order problem that must be solved.

You may always use 'it' but then someone might smite you to dust... or laugh as hell.

I am so glad that you can participate again, Morticia!
