Many thanks to Jim Grosch for suggesting it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The response to the publishing of Gil Neiger's analysis of S'01 has been good, and I will continue publishing his analyses as long as he wants to continue writing them. Lest they have too great an impact on the game in progress, however, I am going to delay their release by a season; hence, no analysis in this MAH. Have no fear, next issue brings Gil's analysis of F-W'01, which I have already received... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have just (June 14) acquired a Boardman Number for the game. For those who are mystified, postal Diplomacy games may, at the request of their gamesmaster, garner "official" status by getting assigned a number by the Boardman Number Custodian, who collects game statistics on games to which he has distributed BNs. Our number is 1982CK. This makes no difference however, in game procedure -- the outside Diplomacy world simply knows that we're playing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1982CK -- Spring '02 AUSTRIA: A BUD S RUSSIAN A Ukr - Rum A SER S A Bud A Trl - VIE F Tri - ALB ENGLAND: A Yor - BEL *F NRG - Nwy* F NTH C A Yor - Bel FRANCE: A BUR [u] A Par - PIC A MAR [u] A Spa - GAS F Por - MID GERMANY: A Ber - MUN A HOL S A Mun - Ruh A Mun - RUH F Den - SKA F Kie - DEN ITALY: A ROM S A Ven A VEN H F Ion - TUN RUSSIA: A STP S F Swe - Nwy A Ukr - RUM A War - UKR *F SEV S A Ukr - Rum* F Swe - NWY TURKEY: *A ARM - Sev* *A Rum H (and prays)* [r-BUL] F Ank - BLA F CON S F Ank - Bla ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In case it's needed, my phone number has changed. It is now: (507) 645-4692 My roommates are still trained and know how to take messages, if necessary. My USPS address remains unchanged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For further information: Steve Knight ihnss!ihps3!stolaf!knight harpo!stolaf!knight
