Assigned reading: 1900

The next press game I GM (which will be at least a few weeks off) is going to be on the 1900 map, is an attempt to make the game a bit more historically accurate, as well as more balanced. Italy is a lot better, and more fun, and France and Russia are a bit weaker, for example.

Anyhow, your assigned reading is the various basics, notes and essays on 1900, as linked below.

I noticed the colon was still there and the tags were before the colon and after about, but only with about and colon and not one or the other. I am sure we are talking about the about and about the colon, and not about the about, and not about the colon, but simply about about and colon together.

Everybody has read this by now, right? :D (All 3 of you that regularly browse this forum that is, heh!)

The first time I browsed it, I was put off by the Suez Canal rule. MAO to Egypt? wtf? But really, I like that he has made communication between ALL powers a high priority from the start. The increased interaction will be welcome, imo!

I have been GMing a 1900 game for a few months now, and I am very impressed by the way the game has played out. One of the players is an extremely experienced diplomacy player, 2 of them have moderate experience, and the rest are new to the game, but this is the first time playing online for all of them. Before they started, Baron Powell, the guy who created the 1900, spoke with them and gave them a little advice on the game.

Check out the game:
