AEDip04: Versailles Diplomacy

Originally posted by Maju Also as I said before if I invest in Rumania in 1928, what kind of effect will it have in 1936? Obviously it is not the same that investing in 1935. At most the value of the old investments would be depreciated by half each year, which is even more work for the GM, because it involves complex maths (fractions! ) and serious accountance.

Not necessarily, because at the beginning of the game the ip's are distributed evenly so three ip points is almost the most anyone can vote with. But after the game progresses and we start having super powers in play they will have the ablity to vote with six or seven ip's per turn. This makes the initial three point investments seem small in comparison, and this alone has an inflationary effect. For a small power to have control over a minor he would need to invest fully over time.

We could also make all territories to have ip points. Even the ones that have no supply centers. This would give the game an even bigger inflationary effect.

Please wait until January the 2. for the checking.

Winter 1928 Adjudication (Corrected!):

Here is the result of your IP allocations. Remeber that the major powers controlling each minor power will have that control for the full year of 1929 and will get an extra automatic 1/2 vote next year for those allies.

The results are as follow:

• Sweden signs alliance with the Soviet Union, despite rumors about its neutrality.
  
• Spain signs alliance with Italy
• Czechoslovakia signs alliance with Poland
• Yugoslavia signs alliance with Turkey
• Rumania signs alliance with the Soviet Union
• Greece remains unalligned
• Egypt signs alliance with Turkey

The map remains the same (Spring 1929):


Let's the rough verb of weapons talk now, alongside the sweet speech of ambassadors.

Btw, here there is a map showing the known alliances and the territory they control (updated!):

Everyone sent in their votes. Can't say anything more.  

I could not really understand...So interesting IP results came out.

And of course, as nobody knows who had done what, there are some blamings,assumptions,but nothing is certain.

But some have great guesses too. Anyways, wasn't Morocco French too? And France is with the second largest territory after Russia.

Hmm, hard to decipher just exactly what is going on.....

My guess is Russia, pardon, the USSR blackmailed Poland into giving him his IPs in exchange for not attacking.  My case is similar, but not through blackmail.  I simply handed one to help Turkey.  Now Italy is knocking.

I really like this variant, the dynamics of the map and the IP's make it very interesting.

Well, the map is not very accurat historically. Turkey wasn't any great power, nor was Poland either. Tunis and Syria were French and Egypt was "de facto" a British protectorate, as was Palestine-Transjordan. I just tried to make it seem closer to real by coloring Algeria, Lybia and Cyprus.

Morocco though wasn't wholly French. Spain had a protectorate over some areas too.
