Bowel Movements.

A question was asked on the last post about Fleet movements. I will exhaust the possibilities. A Fleet in Spain SC, can move to the Gulf of Lyon, the West Med, or the Mid Atlantic Ocean. As far as land movements, Portugal and Marseilles are options too. Any territory bordering the South Coast is fair game, except of course the North Coast. Let us look at some other options.

Constantinople allows Fleets to traverse through it as does Denmark. St Petersburg is another special case. The only adjacent territories in the SC is Finland, Gulf of Bothnia, or Livonia. In the North a Fleet could only travel to the Barents or Norway. Although the countries are adjacent Finland and the North Coast of St Petersburg do not share a coastline, which means a fleet cannot go from Finland to the North Coast or visa versa.

Finally we mention Bulgaria. It has an East Coast and a South Coast, or EC and SC. I know I have beat this to death but a Bulgaria SC cannot go to the Black Sea, but can go to Constantinople, Greece or the Aegean Sea.

Another special note is the countries of Constantinople and Kiel. They both have extensive waterways and therefore do not need to specify a coastline. You will notice the little squiggle in Kiel, well that represents a canal, connecting it to both the Baltic and that long named Bight I will not spell properly. You may move to either territory just like you could move to either side of Constantinople, in the Black Sea or the Aegean; without ever specifying a coast.

Another note. You may NOT convoy through a coastal city, including Constantinople or Kiel or Denmark. I have included a link for the rules. We at Diplomacy Central will use the 1992 version of the rules. You may want to skim through it. Included is also a full set of official abbreviations for each country. One day, with hours of study we may be able to be as good as Psam!!!!! Riiiiiiiiiiight. I will also provide a link under the Strategy and Rules heading. (left)

I hope this clarifies a few points and that it is not too long winded.

Mr X has provided some drama. There has been no attempts at e mail espionage but if it does occur please send me a letter ASAP at chankslee@gmail.com I have a feeling Mr X altered the title after I published this "Movements" draft.
