I have been digging around the net for a while and (unfortunately) been
unable to come up with a couple of questions, so, I shall as them here; I
apologise if these are frequent or otherwise answered questions.
1) Is there anyway to get full information on the games played via DPjudge
or any other medium? (I'm curious as to how civil disorder can skew
perception of power and play balance in standard vs gunboat varieties, among
other things; I see statistics quoted frequently but I know of no link to
the 'raw' source) or need I generate my own?
2) Has anyone ever tried a simple rule/map variant to chane Switzerland
from being impassible to being a neutral supply center? (My curiousity was
provoked by reading the Gamer's Guide to 1900, though I have never played
that variant) If anyone has tried, is there any data/what was the general
'feel' of it? If not, would it be inapproprate to alter a map and the
neccissary files and submit it to DPjudge simply out of curiousity of how it
might play and would there (possibly) be interest?
