Introducing Europa
Diplomacy variant of Avalon Hill / Hasbro's strategy war game using Realpolitik computer Maps

Some of the more exciting theoretical results for fall 1901 feature an Italian army in Spain (no more French monopoly on the Iberian goldmine), a French army in Liverpool, a Russian army in Kiel, a German army in Switzerland (a 35th Supply Center), an Austrian army in Smyrna, a Turkish army in Venice, and an English army in Tunis (the latter two require multinational convoys or a winter 1900 start). Italy might hold the most intriguing set of new possibilities.

Whereas most variants of Diplomacy’s Standard map tend to add provinces that increase the time it takes to traverse the board (a valid choice), Speed Europa operates on the opposite premise by overall removing obstacles to cross-board player interaction. Speed Europa substantially unravels the comfortable openings/stalemate lines/alliances/strategies so a fresh, bottom-up appraisal is necessary.

START = spring 1901 (Standard), or a Winter 1900 start to customize your forces.
PLAYERS = 7, Standard's Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Turkey.
VICTORY CONDITIONS = 18 of 35 SCs (Standard i.e. a majority of total SCs).
SPECIAL RULES = No, 100% Standard unless you choose to add a rule variant.
