I played that game years ago. My European History teacher in high school was amazed at my knowledge of European geography

Diplomacy is an awesome game. I'm addicted.
Here is a good resource location: http://www.diplom.org
I play by e-mail a lot, its fun.
Infact, if you want, we could hookup in an e-mail game and dominate the board, I'm sure there are a few games out there right now that need two more players

I was just pulled into the game via e-mail. I really have no clue...I'm use to the likes of C&C Generals.

C&C is the same game, just a little faster. And more rules.

Diplomacy is way better than C&C (coming from a C&C fan hehe)

I am more accustomed to games where diplomacy means building a giant army, walking across the map and crushing the opposing player's cities like ant mounds under my foot. Such as Age of Empires, Empire Earth, Rise of Nations, etc.

lol, PanzerIV, so to you diplomacy means click the buttons the fastest and rush? Hmmmm....
The only buttons you will find in the game Diplomacy is, well, other peoples buttons
::Sure Austria, I'll help you into Rum...::
::Takes Con, Bul, and Gre while blocking Austrias move to Rum::
::Sorry bout that::

No, really I was half kidding. I do enjoy those games but I am not just about war games. Plus, as for rushing, no I am not good enough to do that. I usually spend waaaay too much time building up my defenses during which the enemy comes a knockin' at my city walls and crushes the life out of me! LOL...yep, I am usually the one getting stomped into the ground

Question: Is it possible for me to use one of my Armies to support the fleet of another country? I can't find the rule for this.

I am reading the book Diplomacy...

 

[Mannkind]

You can support a fleet from (or in) another country IF the fleet is attacking a coastal province and you are bordering that province.
