REGULARS GAME [3 WEEK]
Hi guys - sorry there was a bit of a hold-up while we sorted out players but we are there now. The game is named after the battle of Clontarf where Brian Boru defeated the Vikings (and assorted others) but died himself. A little running theme of my game names.

Please (if you have not already done so) make sure that you get a copy of the house-rules off the Diplomacy 2000 site. For those of you not familiar with the British / European convention, note well that this game will run on 2 game years. In other words I need conditional retreat orders for all units for which a retreat is possible for each season. In the Autumn season, I need disband and build orders. Build orders can be conditional on the location of other units but not on other players' builds.
Please try to send me a provisional set of orders for Spring 1901 as soon as possible - apart from being a sound practice anyway, it confirms to me that you want to play. Orders can be changed at any time up until the deadline. I will normally confirm back receipt of orders to you so that you know they have arrived. However I will be on holiday from Friday 27th July until Friday 3rd August, so you will not get a response from me until after then.
The deadline for Spring 1901 orders will be Friday 5th October 2001 at 6.00 PM GMT. Although I will accept late orders up until the time when I adjudicate you would be very unwise to rely on this as I will be dealing with the game on Friday nights on most occasions.
You may commit any sort of horrible act upon each other but DECEPTION OF THE GM is totally forbidden. Have a good game
Brian Frew
