Did anybody send their orders to the main GM yet? If you already did, thank you.  I recommend that you titled your PMs with something like "1812 Dippy [your countries pair names] Orders" (And no, don't send it to me. I'm merely the assistant GM here.) |

Having a load of PMs labeled "Dip", "Diplomacy", or "Diplomacy orders" is no fun. |

Two minor mistakes (didn't see any other ones) but no major issues: Chi should be annotated as Chl, probably a typo on the player's part and it's understood clearly and there's no confusion anyway. *pokes Europyrealm* And from my understanding, Santa Anna, that nobody is being dislodged so there's no retreats, right? I don't think the next phase would be summer but in the fall instead. |

I hate to bother you a second time after I already spoken once but this is related to the results of the map which I hadn't seen until just now.
It's up to you how you color the map, but as a general rule of thumb, I never change the colors in the insides of the circles (the SCs) during a spring phase, only the fall. In the spring results, those circles would be same from whatever they were before.
The reason is: I like to indicate that the inside of the circle is representative of whose SC it is owned by at that moment. The outside space would be basically the occupation (but not necessarily the ownership) of that said space.
It's not exactly a requirement that you must follow that style. (I don't even bother posting the units onto the spaces! I simply leave unoccupied spaces completely white and occupied spaces as colored.) So feel free to do what you want.
I wanted to make sure you were aware of Wla, Sav, Tor, etc were sort of marked as if they've changed ownership to the current occupiers.

I only did that because that's how the SCs were colored in the first place. But if it can potentially confuse people, I'll try and alter it in later spring phases. |

The way you use the icons is pretty neat too, actually. I would discolor the empty, non-SC provinces in any case, though (even though this works in my favor as well, haha) |

The SCs weren't being occupied by someone else than the original owner at the starting positions anyhow. That's why you would never see the SC dot being colored differently from the surrounding space in a starting point. And well... I am just pointing out stuff like you asked all of us (I'm assuming you would want my help after all!  ). It's possibly that in the end nobody got confused anyhow, which means it's a moot issue. You don't have to alter it for later spring seasons if it's getting too much of a hassle in your workload as the main GM. Right now, I honestly think you're doing a beautiful job in doing your best. Keep it up. |

Hi everyone, I'm Alex Ronke, the creator of the variant. I have a number of example games posted if you would like to see how I've colored the maps in the past. There are four sessions posted on the PlayDiplomacy forums. I GM'd all but one of them. www.playdiplomacy.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=838Note that there were changes made to the rules and setup between forum Game 1 and forum Game 2. There are a few other sessions' albums I can share from prior game versions. |
