2P Diplomacy 1 - Sparhawk vs. Mikko (Fall 2003)

[Mikko]

I have again done the mistake of signing up for more things than I have time for

Since I consider Sparhawk's position to be clearly better than mine, and with only two players I can't get any outside help, I think it's best if I just resign.

Fair enough.

Feedback? I thought it was a very interesting game, myself. I'd be interested in seeing this one run again (whether by myself or someone else with me playing ).

[Sparhawk]

Okay with me. It is hard to turn down a win. I found this interesting. My basic plan in this game was to push toward Mikko quickly and try to leave empty SCs behind me. The theory was that if I could get a line established on his half of the board then I could grab the SCs behind my lines later to win.

I would like to see more of these symetric games played too. I am curious as to how well they play a second or third time.

For completeness" sake:

Is 'mor' Mordor? 'mon' Monkey? What about cro, mai, mot and wha??

PS I"d like to accept your challange. Since it"s one-on-one i can accept if you"d like to mod (i trust you won"t read mz emails until you"ve made your moves) if we wouldn"t find a third party moderator.

Mon is Monkey, yes. Mor is Morat, from "The Player of Games" by Iain M. Banks. Cro, Mot, Mai are Crone, Mother, Maiden (a reference to the Fates; I was reading a comic called The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman, when I made that map).

Oh, and was that to me or Sparhawk? I'd be happy to play you, if someone wants to mod, or if you trust me, whichever.
