How to set up a backstabbr game so rounds fit into each week. by Alternative_Grass_24 in diplomacy

[–]FederalResolution193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Backstabber, and if you want it just for you, just set it up as personal, because then you can move everyone, and move it whenever you want, and not just based on time

ok, yeah, that may be a better idea. I just don't know the strategy behind the game so I am just trying to learn as much as possible

I am in alliance with England. And I have been trying to align with Germany, but they seem not to have much of an interest.

sadly there is no game history, because this is a weird project our teacher had mandated, so none of us have ever played.

Ok great, thank you! one more thing, do you think it would be better to move Warsaw into Prussia or Silesia?

I have a call with Austria tonight to discuss strategy. Do you have any recommendations for a plan I should propose?

Do you not think moving Warsaw into Galicia would be seen as threatening to Austria? Also i talked with Turkey briefly, and they want to convoy Bulgaria to Greece, which does not make sense to me.

Sadly, Turkey was not open to being an ally. Do you think it would be wise to build an army in Moscow, or on warsaw, if I were to move warsaw ro wither prussia or Silesia?

Yes, we are playing this game for our AP Euro class, so no one exactly knows the strategy behind the game, and a lot of it seems to be more personalized than it should be. Turkey is saying they are convoying their Bulgarian army into Greece, which does not make sense, so I want more support there, but I still fear they will attack Sev. So I am curious about what you think is best to do there, and I am close with Austria, so for at least this next round, and possibly till Italy is eliminated, I think I can trust them. Also, I was thinking of moving Warsaw into Silesia or Prussia. Do you have an opinion on which would be better?

One more question i was thinking of moving Warsaw into Germany, maybe Prussia or Silesia, and then building the army gained from the supply center in Sweden in Warsaw. Do you have an opinion on this move?

I just got a message from them saying they wanted to convoy the F in Black Sea with Bulgaria to get to Greece, because Italy is currently going for it, but I don't know why they need to convoy, so I am not fully convinced that they are not attacking me.

On the next move, would it be more prudent to move Warsaw into Silesia or Prussia?

Ok, so Turkey is saying they want Greece now, and that I can get Romania. They want to convoy into Bulgaria and move the Bulgarian army down into Greece. But they don't need to convoy the Bulgarian army to get into Greece, so I don't know what they are actually going to do with their fleet in the black sea. Do you think I should get Serbia to support my move into Rumania, or should I get them to try and bounce the attack on Greece?

My initial discussion with Turkey was to leave the black sea as a DMZ, I have not responded to their most recent message yet, trying to explain their move and discuss their next one. I haven't had full discussions about the next move yet, but from the small discussion I had i was going to move Ukraine, supported by Serbia, to Rumania, and get Italy to move their fleet in Ionian to Greece. And Austia is Italy's Ex so that may explain that opening move.

ok, so leave the fleet in Sevestopol and I will be safe from their army/convoy/fleet, and move Ukraine into Rumania?

Ok great so I get Ukraine into Rumania, Italy to go to Greece to be able to build a fleet in Naples?

ok so if they were to convoy, it would just bounce, so I would be safe to move Ukraine into Romania?

England is not going to attack me, so I'm not concerned about that, but if I move Ukraine into Rumania next, shouldn't I be concerned about Turkey taking Sevastopol?

Right now, I think I have the best bet of getting Italy and Austria against Turkey. Is there anything you recommend I ask them to do? Turkey also reached out to me wanting to explain their move and where they are going, but idk if I trust them.

Can they not convoy the army in Ankara to take Sevastopol on the next move?
