Game Notes:
1) I still have not heard a word from Karl Schuetz (this includes trying to call him), so I must delay the game. If I have orders from everyone for the next deadline, since I had to delay another game, I will run Fall then. If I do NOT have some word from Karl by that deadline, I will replace him with David Partridge and go to the September deadline. I'm really sorry for the slow start, but as a bonus, you get a map of the current position, courtesy of David Partridge's drawing skills. I think this map has all of the connections corrected, but I expect my map experts like Robert Stimmel will inform me if it is wrong. I really hope we'll get this running on track after this!!!
2) Heath Gardner has yet ANOTHER new E-Mail address. He says this one will be IT for awhile!
Press:
(MAP QUESTION): Looking at the map it appears that Hudson Bay reaches the Bering Strait. I find this to be historically inaccurate, does it stretch from the Grand Bank to Bering Strait? ((I imagine for playability, the ``Northwest Passage" is fully in play. If it were not, it would really block up the movement across North America. Any comments from others? In any case, the answer is: yes, that is the way the map is.))
(BUILD QUESTION): For builds, where can we build? In the initial starting center, or any supply center? ((You always will have the centers that you own which you can build in noted in capital letters in the Supply Center Chart. In Colonial Dip and in Modern Dip, I have found it necessary to do that both for me and for the players. I don't bother to do this with regular Dip games since everyone pretty much has the home centers memorized, but I probably should. To answer your question, colony centers generally can be built in by any power and certain centers are building centers only for specified powers. Didn't you keep that first issue where I printed those rules?? I'm trying to keep down the reprinting of things I've printed before, especially when back issues can be consulted on the World Wide Web. This is one of those cases where you do have access to that information. Off hand, anyone recall what issue that was?? I would guess about 216 or 217.))
(ENG-NETH): Still no response. Are you still having trouble with my e-mail address? Try snail-mail. ((Does he have an E-mail address? If so, I don't know it. More of this no response doesn't help the comfort level of the GM!))
(PARIS): The Tour de FRANCE finished recently in the capital. American Colonists did remarkably well. Lets here it for the colonies. Hip Hip Hooray! (Of course since it is only 1751 neither the bicycle or the Arc de Triumph exist yet, technicalities).
(MONTREAL): Marcel and Marceau are doing remarkable well and expect to be in the Ohio valley for winter. The should be able to continue their exploration by early spring. Local natives are being very helpful. One trapper by the name of Frank Andrieu has been a God send leading the canoes up many hazardous streams.
(PAMPLONA): Since the town of Pamplona was under French control this year the annual running of the bulls was cancelled. The French leaders stated that letting wild bulls loose in the streets to trample the citizens was barbaric and utterly stupid. The also remarked with disgust that there will be no more "Bull Fights" in northern Spain while we are in control.
