Spring, 1901: Should I head for the Baltic Sea or Sweden? |

Spring, 1901: I see you're new to Vdip, what's the story? |

Autumn, 1901: One of the guys in class at my college was playing it, and I like reading books about old military strat so I had to give it a try |

Spring, 1902: Unfortunately I missed my orders for F01. Let's see if I can pull it around |

Spring, 1903: The reason your support for Silesia didn't work is that Berlin doesn't border Warsaw. You supported my unit to attack yours. |
25 Feb 19 UTC |
Spring, 1903: That sounds like the exact opposite of what I was trying to do lol. Still trying to figure out the UI. |
25 Feb 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1903: Yeah you have to be careful with support move to and from. To being the target country and From being your unit (or an allies' unit) to attack. |

Spring, 1904: The big way you could have put me on my back foot this game was to move Denmark to Sweden. I NMRed so that would have given you great position. Even if I moved, you would have bounced me. |

Spring, 1904: I'd recommend you listen to the Diplomacy Games podcast with CaptainMeme. He's one of the top 1v1 players on the site and he really explains the strategy well. |

Autumn, 1904: I'll definitely check that out... I love playing risk-type games so after I get the general tactics down this seems like it's got a lot of potential. |
25 Feb 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1904: The tactics are definitely important but 1v1 is very different than a classic 7 player game. I love both types but 1v1 is an entirely different strategy. |

Autumn, 1904: Like have you noticed my fleet in the Med. I skipped Constantinople and Ankara because the tempo of Smyrna and Greece is higher. I can get to Tunis this fall and Spain in fall 05. |

Spring, 1905: I'm down for a rematch if you want to do France vs Austria. That's traditionally thought of as more balanced than G vs R. Quite hard for Germany to hold the center when Russia gets 4 units to start. |
25 Feb 19 UTC |
Spring, 1905: Sure, I'm down. Just need to reread the strategy guide first. It seems like this game is a good bit about attrition. |
25 Feb 19 UTC |
I looked for a G vs R openings guide and didn't see one. Russia can make so many lanes it's hard to fill all of them. |

I'll make a FvA game, call it Weird Western Front and I have a few links that might be helpful. |
