Hi chaps, and welcome to your new gamestart . As you will doubtless have guessed, the game is named after the famous Bob Dylan song, “Desolation Row”. Plenty of scope for further game names on that theme I guess.
Country allocations were not easy, as a lot of you wanted similar things, however all negative preferences have been adhered to. Thus we have…
Austria: Darrell Blue - grafvonblau@cogeco.ca
England: Mark Porter - mark@porter-home.com
France: Steve Foister - stevef@snail.co.uk
Germany: Robert Dane - robertjohndane@btopenworld.com
Italy: Peter Evans - peterwevans@optusnet.com.au
Russia: John Yates - jryates@devon.gov.uk
Turkey: Frank De Vocht - frankiegdev@hotmail.com
You are all experienced chaps but, if you have not already done so, I would strongly recommend you to familiarise yourselves with the advice and guidance on the Diplomacy 2000 website. It contains lots of very helpful stuff, even for knowledgeable players.
Please send me a provisional set of orders for Spring 1901 as soon as possible - this 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.
The deadline for Spring 1901 orders will be Friday 5th March at 6.00 PM GMT. Thereafter we will be running to 2 week deadlines. 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 of deceit upon each other but DECEPTION OF THE GM is totally forbidden.
Have a good game and above all, enjoy yourselves.
