Hi,
Here is an idea for a variant game.
Your comments or criticisms of this variant idea are
welcome: for instance, if it will result in a game that
is not fun to play, or if it will have other bad side-effects,
please let me know. And, if it might open up interesting
fun play, please talk about that also.
If this variant idea is already known and has a name,
please let me know the name of this variant.
Assume that a standard game of Diplomacy will be played.
Now for the variant.
1. The game begins with no armies or fleets on the board.
A diplomatic session begins. After this initial meeting,
the first step of the game is to write out the complete builds
for all countries in their homelands. For example, Italy might
build two fleets and one army, or instead Italy might build
three fleets; England might build three fleets, or England
might build three armies, and so forth for all the major
powers.
2. Then, play proceeds as normal with the next phase being
the diplomatic phase.
Thanks
