It looks like the MD2 guys have re-appeared. Have you PMed Wingo? He sent me a PM looking for that site about a month ago.

I'm interested.

Nope I haven't kept in touch with the RHP MD2 crowd. I got in when they were beta testing and MD2 was dead.

This game has significant improvements over the other. You can walk through others' territory without Passage Rights for double move points. Anonymity required. Commanders required to move anywhere but your own lands. More nations. Genoa exists I think. You can go around the east of the Black Sea. Unit Tactics settings. Good game.

Yeah, I went to the site and downloaded the maps and rules to look them over.

Seems a better game, and the maps are definitely better.

I'm guessing in a full game, you'd have a whole lot of wholesale die-offs in the beginning as things get sorted out. People making deals with the ring of nations just beyond the ones encircling them, and the lucky or skilled ones getting the edge to create big gains in the first half-dozen turns. Seems plenty more room for interesting strategies.

Prolly not going to be playing, though.

First bit of advice. Every major army should have two Commanders - one using Defensive tactic for the shieldmen and one using Offensive or Do or Die for the damage dealing units.

Looks like we're at 23. I think we need two more to get underway.

So, uh, the rules say that we're not supposed to reveal our identities to each other. Does anyone intend to abide by that?

Yes. They're watching. They'll ban you if they find out. Anyway it's in the spirit of the game.

The rules are the rules. It'll make it a lot less fun though.

Well, of course we wouldn't reveal ourselves within the game diplomacy. But who would know if we did so within the confines of this forum? But if you guys want to play it straight, that's fine with me. I guess there'll be no grand RHP alliance.

It didn't work last time.
