Good news is that Maju will continue GMing via e-mail...
Here is the Winter 1936 adjudication.
Deadline for Spring 1936: Thu. May 4 at 22:00 GMT
Please, make sure to copy and paste this adjudication in the AE topic, as I won't do it. This is particularly important as some players are haveing trouble recieving images at their computers. You will have to save the image and upload it. Thanks.
Britain: Build A Edinburgh
Germany: Build A Hamburg
USSR: Remove A Pripet
New map (Spring 1936):

Happy and struggling May 1st!

We gave up your happiness
Your hope would be enough;
we couldn't find neither;
we made up sorrows for ourselves;
we couldn't be consoled;

SPRING 1936 Adjudication:
The New York Times
Totendanz in Central Europe: One German army annihilated in Bohemia, another badly mauled in Austria. Nazis take Munich and Zurich without opposition though. Secret pact Molotov-Ciano unveiled when the Red Army captures Stettin by night.
In other developements: British marines "liberate" Portugal. Turkish army enters Belgrade without opposition. Rome's Il Corriere mocks Turkish disorganization but Rome remains undefended. Istambul's Cumhurriyet also mocks Italian disorganization.
I need two retreats inmediately:
- German A Austria can retreat to Piedmont, Croatia or OTB
- Italian F Portugal can retreat to Madrid or Navarre
Important note: if RL affects your abilty to play/diplomate this or that turn, you should ask for an extension.. Extensions are normally granted without problems. Better to delay the game a couple of days than having an NMR - don't you think?
Adjudication:
Britain: A Edinburgh Hold F Mid Atlantic Ocean Supports F Straits of Gibraltar - Portugal F North Sea - Norwegian Sea F Norwegian Sea - Barents Sea F Oslo Hold F Straits of Gibraltar - Portugal
Germany: A Austria Supports A Burgundy - Switzerland (*Cut and dislodged*) A Burgundy - Switzerland F Denmark Supports F Skagerrak A Hamburg - Munich A Krakow Supports A Silesia A Marseilles Supports A Burgundy - Switzerland (*Cut*) A Prague Supports A Austria (*Cut, dislodged and disbanded*) A Silesia Supports A Hamburg - Munich F Skagerrak Supports F Denmark F West Baltic Sea Supports F Denmark (*Cut*)
Italy: F Adriatic Sea - Trieste F Beograd - Adriatic Sea F Gulf of Lyon - Marseilles (*Fails*) A Hungary Supports A Switzerland - Austria A Munich - Prague F Portugal, no move received >> Hold (*Dislodged*) A Switzerland - Austria A Transylvania, no move received >> Hold F Tunis - Mediterranean Sea(Corrected later on)
USSR: F Bucharest Hold A Danzig - Prussia F East Baltic Sea - West Baltic Sea (*Fails*) A Galicia - Pripet F Gulf of Bothnia Supports A Sweden F Lappland Hold A Leningrad - Finland A Slovakia Supports A Munich - Prague A Sweden Supports F Lappland A Warsaw Hold
Turkey: A Albania - Naples (*Fails*) F Armenia Hold F Athens - Albania (*Fails*) A Bulgaria Supports A Galicia - Transylvania (*Void*) F Ionian Sea Convoys A Albania - Naples A Libya - Tunis (*Fails*) F Naples Hold A Thessaly - Beograd
As always, check for any possible errors. :-)

The newspaper copies were collected from sale and burnt by the Nazi government...
Because the foreign minister is in search of a cease-fire with their old long-term ally, Soviet Union

Now that wasn't very diplomatic of you. I thought for sure I'd get some great diplomatic gesture, from the great diplomat.
How funny is that, why wouldn't I be concerned with the past? After all
it tells us how your going to react in the future does it not? It's as
if you're suggesting I shouldn't try to learn from your past actions.
In a histroy forum you say this, how ironic is that?

Winter deadline: MONDAY 15 at 23:59 GMT

Ownership:
Britain: Brest, Edinburgh, Ireland, Liverpool, London, Oslo, Portugal.
Germany: Austria, Belgium, Berlin, Denmark, Hamburg, Holland,
Marseilles, Munich, Paris, Switzerland.
Italy: Beograd, Madrid, Prague, Rome, Trieste, Tunis.
USSR: Bucharest, Danzig, Finland, Hungary, Kiev, Krakow,
Leningrad, Lithuania, Moscow, Sevastopol, Sweden, Warsaw.
Turkey: Ankara, Athens, Bulgaria, Constantinople, Egypt, Naples,
Smyrna, Syria.
Adjustments:
Britain: Supp 7 Unit 6 Build 1
Germany: Supp 10 Unit 9 Build 1

I'd say that Italy has been mauled severely this last turn. Yet it's
not far behind Britain or Turkey, so guess it still has some good
chances. Stalin and Hitler are clearly leading though.

Hello all. I periodically search around for references to my variants on the net (and history is a hobby of mine as well, so I find this site rather interesting), and evidently Maju has been touting some of mine. I understand that Maju is no longer active in this forum, so a P.M. would not do me any good, but I am wondering if someone might pass along my email address: zendip18 AT optonline DOT net.
P.S. By the way two Diplomacy variants of mine, Western World 901 and Conquest of the Americas, are recruiting for players. Contact me if you are interested. The variant maps and rules can be found at my website: http://diplomiscellany.tripod.com/ .

Hi, David,
So far, I have been enjoying your variant. I liked the minor powers element, but some other thought that it was too easy for the owner of a power to take over the country right at the time when they were about to lose it in a vote.
But again, I enjoyed that very much
I will check out your site.
Hugo

Actually, Versailles *isn't* mine, but rather Martin Kennedy's, who I 'know' in an internettish way. The Hobby community isn't all that large, and the Dip variant design community is smaller than that.
Versailles *is* a nice variant though, to my mind both for playability and realism, though of course, realism is a relative thing. I mean realistic for a Dip variant. Diplomacy is meant to be evocative, not a simulation.
