F*ck people! Ankara crescent does not have nukes! Unless you're playing some odd Dip33 variant or something. Its like none of you have played classic Ankara crescent before!

In the meantime, F MAO - Tunis via amphibious assault.

I park my Tardis in Vienna for reinforcement.

Really Dip? Doctor Who?

Sorry but by the Combined Rules, nukes are allowed.

They were allowed by the '93 St. Petersburg convention yes, but removed again in the '94se Tokyo finals after they realized how ridiculous they made the game. Maps were blowing up all over the place. Nukes have no place in a good game of Ankara Crescent.

drano please don't attempt to metagame by sending PMs, that's clearly against *any* rule book.
In any case, Something Hidden moves to Trieste via land.

Well gobbles, if you knew how to play, I wouldn't have to explain the rules via PM! :p

Anyways, there's no FOW in Ankara Crescent, 'somethin hidden' is cheating. Breaking the rules yet again gobbles!

All the Balkan wa supported to hold by the stationed armies, you are all bounced, sorry.
In the meantime I occupied Bombay from Trieste, and nuked Malaga just for fun...

All your SCs are belong to us.

fun-spoiler drano. I'm going to move to eliminate you then. F Eng - MAO, F Iri s Eng - MAO, F NAO s Eng - MAO, F Bre s Eng - MAO, F Gas s Eng - MAO, F Por s Eng - MAO, F Spa (nc) s Eng - MAO, F WMS s NAf. Something Hidden surfaces in Tunis with support from NAf to bounce you.

Congrats gobbles. You just took this from silly variants that don't follow the rules to 'makebe up your own game'. Well done sir. If anyone wants to play a real game of ankara crescent, let me know.

I agree with Drano, Gobbles is taking the vaugeness of the rules a little to far.

Sort of how Adalephat was a few days ago.

I launch Sputnik 700 to the moon with from Apulia (the world Space Capital) with an emissary for the communist moon nation.

The rules for Ankara Crescent are hardly vauge.

The September 1972 Avalon Hill Game Commission on Rules for Ankara Crescent consolidated rulings from the previous 16 meetings that year and published them in a supplement to The General of which only six copies survive today. The fact that none of these copies agrees with any other copy was resolved in 1997 through a series of 27 different email chains that are available to anyone who was subscribed to the AnkCre-listserv@TAHGCW.org at the time.

Regardless, I enter this fray with Fleet Falkland Islands S Fleet SAO convoying Army Tierra del Fuego to St. Helena with designs on the Canary Islands.

I will initiate operation Reverse-Red Dawn, sending army of Paratroopers in Alaska to Kamchatka with support from the fleet in the North Pacfic

Okay, now that I am in MAO, with support from 6 units, I can finally do something fun.
Mid-Atlantic convoy the surfaced unit in Tunis to Brest, awaiting further orders.

I dig a tunnel under EC and move London straight into Picardy.

Surfaced Unit in Brest move to Picardy to attack the army that just arrived

oops sorry I was looking for the restroom. could someone tell me where that is?

New Zealand, but you can only get there by Air Transport on Tuesdays.. Can you hold it for the next 5 days?

oh gee i dont know....cant Gobbley use his fleets to convoy me there a little more quickly?

I would cut to convoy if he tried

hm...
Ambassador, this tunnel you dug, does it have rest stops? it is quite a long trip from London to Picardy..

Well, mongoose, are you near London? Because Picardy is under attack right now and you could not possibly enter from that end.

'Goose it was built by the same dwarves who constructed the tunnels to the Underworld in Haven. We all know those dwarves have horrendously small bladders and need constant releaving. As a result there's a rest stop every hundred yards.

Great! I'm afraid I was expecting entry from picardy so I was waiting in Belgium... can anyone get me to London?

I can. I have a Tardis in vienna remember.

Well your units aren't quite.... sanitary dip...
anyone in the north sea?

I am! My army is there.
