Rules
Rules are the same as standard Diplomacy except:
1. The game starts in Winter 2000. Each player selects 5 of the 7 SC's in his color to be his home centers. Then each player builds 5 units of his choice. The two SC's not selected become neutral SC's.
2. 'S' denotes a strait. Artilleries (armies) may cross straits without a convoy. In addition, if both centers on either side of a strait are occupied, a fleet wishing to go through the strait must have permission of one of the occupying units (A Ethiopia Permit F Red Sea - Arabian Sea). A unit is considered to occupy a center if it stays in or moves to that center. Permission does not constitute an order (so the same unit can support another unit or even be moving to the center in question).
