Harem Scarem

September 28, 2002:
This game of the Colonia VII-B Diplomacy variant is a demonstration version, Gunboat with white broadcast press, for three players. After some debate about the alliances, it was decided that the most playable would be the ones listed below. Ottoman/China/Russia would have a stranglehold on Asia, and Ottoman/Russia/Austria would have a common central point from which to expand.

Given that there are only three players, it seemed appropriate that the game be named after a Three Stooges short feature. 8-)


The Players

France/Austria/Russia: Konrad Baumeister
Ottoman/Netherlands/England: Dave Partridge
China/Spain/Portugal: Paul Rauterberg

These brave gentlemen volunteered to help me debug my move and mapping software (done in MapInfo) and get ready for the Colonia-VIIB game that I will be GM-ing in The Abyssinian Prince some time in the future.
