Diplomacy has always been one of my favorite wargames and over the years when I visited Halifax, my friends asked me to consider running a PBM game for our mutual amusement. I ran the first game by email and decided to start blogging the second. This allowed me to cease sending out numerous photo attachments but also opened the game up to a worldwide viewing audience. Please feel free to add your comments about the moves or even follow this blog.
