The United States

@de:

The French position in A&A is starting to remind me of Colonial Diplomacy.

That was the best Diplomacy variant

There were other official ones?

How do you like the world war 1 varient of regular dip for 2 players

@calvinhobbesliker:

When you download it(have you?), it’s supposed to be its own program

I know, but something went wrong and the map files are also not saving right, like my laptop is the real douche.

I say that the next game needs Canada, special neutral rules for Finland, and vichy french rules (and, depending on the time period, poland as well). Why be picky and only make a few improvements?  :-D

Hm interesting because both my wife and I read the rule book, and both interpreted that part the same way.  Guess we need to read it again.

Yes, the second.  Mechanized infantry can move through friendly territories all on their own.

I have heard people say they use major and minor IC’s in house rules. They just use 2 IC’s (maybe glue together) for major, and 1 IC for minor. We all have extra pieces to do it.

I will offer up a rationale for the tac/tank combo. Think about Panzers and Stukas for a moment. The Panzers are used to pin down the enemy in known locations. Then Stukas are sent in to finish off enemy defensive positions before the Panzers blitz the line. If it weren’t for the Panzers pinning the enemy units, they would be harder for the Stukas to hit.

I may be talking out my a$$ though…
