Message-ID: <1099@cbdkc1.UUCP> Date: Mon, 19-Aug-85 09:14:49 EDT Article-I.D.: cbdkc1.1099 Posted: Mon Aug 19 09:14:49 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 20-Aug-85 22:28:55 EDT Reply-To: blb@cbdkc1.UUCP ( Ben Branch ) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Columbus Lines: 12 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!
