	After reading this newsgroup for a while, I decided I had to
go out and get a Diplomacy set. Well, this weekend I did. I can see how
the board has potential for standard opening actions (Italy goes for
Tunis, France for Spain), and I seem to remember a previous article that
discussed some standard openings (sort of like a chess book?). "Three
Fleets" and "Lepanto" come to mind -- I think it was a discussion on
Italy.
	So my question is, how do I bone up on the potential opening
moves? There are books on the variations of Chess openings -- what can
be done for Diplomacy?
	Thanks!
