Sounds cool.
So what sort of map will we be using? Or is it usually from a set of pre-made Europe based maps?
Will there be rebel/independent territories that any faction can attempt to take over, or will all territories be owned by a participating party at the start of the game?

Tasunke - if you want to learn more, you can always read my Dip1 thread here, where I tried to aim it towards newer players a bit:

I didn't survive, but I illustrated a lot of the tactical planning and such so that you can get an idea of the thought process that goes into a turn. I'm no expert at the game (that was my first game in years!), but I know how it works.

its pre WW1 Europe, Tasunke. The age of diplomacy, so to speak. (or the age of Bismark, if you will).
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

Tasunke did sign up. I can ded-lurk with him if he will be posting. Or even follow the main game thread and just send meaningless advice if that is possible.
I'll survive, got a civIV adventure to rule, a world full of tanks to blow up and some demons to slay (only just past act 2 normal)

I wouldn't mind a ded-lurker, if there are any interested in this game but not willing to commit to be a primary player. It'll be easier for me to keep up w/ updates if I know someone is reading it  .

oh, and you owe me double, as I had to take out the guy he was hanging out with too. There was no way arround it.
Diplomacy sounds like a cool game - reminds me a bit of Axis and Allies, which I loved to play. Reading up on your Dip1 thread scooter, thanks!

its a mix of WW and A&A, I guess 
really A&A is just a more complex risk, diplomacy isn't much like it. there's no dice in diplomacy (much less luck involved), and with only 2 real "sides" in A&A there isn't really any diplomacy (except for when bad Russia and America players don't coordinate well). But diplomacy is more fun if you like social games (like WW).
I miss A&A actually - my buddy I used to play it with in college won't touch it since he found Age of Napoleon :/
