Thankyou all for joining and welcome to Sengoku dip.
Sengoku Variant Rules
The Sengoku Variant conforms to the standard rules of Hasbro/Avalon Hill's Diplomacy in most every way, with the few exceptions listed below.
Turns move from Spring to Fall just like standard Diplomacy, and the first turn is Spring 1570.
Units may be built on any vacant supply center that you have held for a fall. (i.e. all SCs controlled by players are considered their "home supply centers" for the purpose of building units.)
*****u and Sanuki are considered land contiguous, as are Echigo and Sado, Nagato and Chikuzen, Owari and Iga, though they all appear separated by water on the map. Both Armies and Fleets may cross from one of these territories directly to the other. Movement by fleets through the surrounding sea zones is unaffected. Dark arrows indicate these "bridges" on the map.
In addition to the 8 players of this variant, there are neutral territories, represented by White supply centers on the map. Each neutral territory is occupied by a neutral army that never does anything but hold. These armies may be supported by other players. They are disbanded immediately if dislodged, but rebuilt at the end of the year if the territory is not occupied. Treat neutral units like armies in Civil Disorder. Once occupied, the territory becomes a standard SC, and never reverts to a neutral again. Black SCs are not neutrals, they function as normal unoccupied SCs.
Victory is declared when one Daimyo has control of 25 SCs, or all other players concede defeat. There are no draws or shared victories allowed. If the players agree to a draw, the GM chooses a winner. There can only be one Shogun.
As you know, I go away today for a week, and I've been so busy it's not funny, but I've managed to get a map up. It has all the units on, but I haven't had time to colour the provinces yet. This shouldn't matter for this first turn, and I wanted you to get dipping as soon as possible.
Map is at:

Spring 1570 moves are due Friday 1 June at 1159 GMT, after that I'll speed up the move deadlines a bit. Please no NMRs - if you NMR, all units will HOLD; NMR twice in a row or three times in total and you will be replaced.
Moves can be submitted to me before the deadline by either icq or email at the addresses below.
