I will explain the basic rules of Diplomacy here. However, I very strongly suggest you read the rules online as well.


To begin with, I'll explain using France.



As you can see, France starts out with 6 territories: Picardy, Paris, Brest, Gascony, Burgundy, and Marseilles. 3 of them are supply centres: Paris, Brest, and Marseilles. France starts out with an army in Paris, and army in Marseilles, and a fleet in Brest.

How to move:
When the game starts, you will send your moves to me by pm.

To move an army from one territory to another, you write it like this A (territory) - (territory). E.g. A Paris - Picardy.

Important: Each territory can only hold one army or fleet at a time. NO exceptions.

To move a fleet you do exactly the same thing. E.g. F Brest - English Channel.

I am horrible at explaining, so it is probably more beneficial for you to read the rules for yourself.
