Declaration of War I: Central-Eastern Europe (Abandoned)

in plz

I want in but i do have a couple questions question.

In your complex example with 3 players. Players B and C combined have 3 countries and all three countries attack Germany (A).
(A) has 2 countries and supports Germany with Austria, however (A)did not make an action with Germany, his other country.
Why did Germany not take an action? Where (A)'s options with Germany not to attack a player of his choosing OR support any of his other bordering countries?

I think I'll change that in the example to clarify. I didn't include Germany's action, because I wanted to use the example to show what will be the resulting battles over Germany. Germany's action is irrelavant for what battles will take place there (since he can't support himself).

An example using 2 players. A-Germany and Nethrlands. B-France and Belgium

Player A attacks France with Germany and Netherlands.
Player B attacks Germany with Belgium
Player B supports Belgium with France.

In this scenario player I understand that there will be two battles in France and one in Germany. However because France decided to support Belgium his action is lost correct? Also because France decided to support Belgium, does this mean that because France was attacked it is automaticlly defeated?

Sorry for this being a long question, but I really do want to play this tourney, I just want to understand it first. Thanks

Yes, France's support of Belgium means that his attack force is "lost" during that round (i.e. won't be involved in any battles).

France is not automatically defeated, it will be:
Battle of France: Germany vs. France & Netherlands vs. France (two 1v1 games).

I hope that answers your questions, otherwise just ask again.

Just need one more (plus some reserves in case someone bails)

[YUT]

I'll try this out - sounds fun yet complicated. always good.

[Krissan]

Good!

The tournament is now full, but I want a couple of reserves before applying for privileges.

[Krissan]

I'm going to give this 24 more hours. If I don't get reserves by then, I'll ask for privileges anyway and just hope for the best.

[taxmanjle]

I'll take a reserve spot

[Krissan]

I've requested privileges for the tournament. I'm still taking reserves though.

Going to hit the bed now, been working all night long and I hardly know my own name. Hopefully I'll send out the first round info later tonight.

I'm posting the Round 1 message here too:

Welcome to the Declaration of War I tournament! The tournament starts now, and I want your round 1 declarations within 24 hours from sending this PM. In future rounds, missing the deadline will simply mean that you don't get to make attacks during that round, but for the first round, you risk being replaced if you don't send any declarations.

Tournament thread, in case you need a reminder about the rules: viewtopic.php?f=91&t=121493

PLEASE NOTE: Publicly stating your war declarations or intentions before the declaration phase is over is strictly forbidden, as is any type of alliance hinting.

I've used random.org to assign starting countries for alla participants:

France - benga
Netherlands - sonicsteve
Hungary - Jobiwan
Germany - Yojimbo28
Estonia - rishark1969
Czech Republic - ETROPAL
Italy - DJ Teflon

Please send your war declarations by PM only, and only to me (simply replying to this PM should be fine).

Please use country names, not player names, when making the attacks (since in future rounds, players might have more than one country).

General questions can be sent either as PM or posted in the thread (only use PM if it's a question about a specific attack scenario).

Good luck everyone!

Invites to all round 1 games have been sent. Good luck everybody!
