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.

NEWS of The World
Dateline London
The House of Lancaster (Rob) has been replaced by the House of York (Pat). It a seamless coup the former Royal Family has been eliminated from the national stage and a new regime has returned from exile in France. The King is Dead, Vive Le Roi, I mean Long Live the King!!!
Rob has decided to bow out of the game and in order to keep it more interesting I offered Pat the option to change countries since France had one remaining piece. The offer was made and accepted after I had already received France's orders. Mike was in touch with Rob and already knew that Rob had left the game. He contacted me offside to suggest I make the same offer to Pat.
Pat being the trooper he is, offered to continue to play France if we could find another player interested in taking over England. I had no one in line. As a result of knowing Pat was going to take over, I have ruled that the Army Ruhr is retreated to Holland (die roll 1-3 and not Burgundy 4-6) instead of being destroyed according to Rule XIV Miscellaneous Subsection 3 Civil Disorder. I hope all are in accord.
Rob Thank you for taking part in this experiment.
