24 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Ah, France again. Sigh.
24 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Hi & good luck to us all.
24 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Good luck!
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Has anyone played on a real (malleable) board of this type?
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Sort of. We made a homebrew copy of it in high school because we were cheap, I don't think all the adjacencies were right. I've seen the actual board, though.
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: I got the real board for my brother, it's pretty sick. It has wooden pieces, better than those plastic ones we use now.
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: I had an original Diplo with wooden pieces. It was nice.
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Wow... I feel really young now... The earliest board of Diplomacy I ever got was on the 4th edition...
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Wooden pieces feel so real. What edition are the new ones?
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Newest edition is the 4th released in 2000. I think they were metal. At least the ones I got were.
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: Got a Diplo board with wooden pieces in 1981 (started playing w friends the year before) ... got the new metal ones now as my old board was falling apart and I was losing pieces over the years
25 May 11 UTC Spring, 1870: oh wait, I was totally off topic - I never had this Colonial one, I'll go crawl in my hole now
25 May 11 UTC Autumn, 1870: Man, I wish plastic wasn't the default for the newer ones or else I'd buy a game right now.

Doesn't matter if you were off topic, haha, it's just interesting to see how many devoted people there are to this game.
26 May 11 UTC Autumn, 1870: Russia was saved by the Gods.
05 Jun 11 UTC Autumn, 1873: Hey! Has anyone played on Germany 1648? I'm playing right now and I'm loving it!
05 Jun 11 UTC Autumn, 1873: I hate that map, the territory lines are so...squiggly.
05 Jun 11 UTC Autumn, 1873: I really dislike that one too
05 Jun 11 UTC Spring, 1874: Once I got over how annoyingly complex it was, I became really good. Maybe I'm playing with noobs...
05 Jun 11 UTC Spring, 1874: Oh, I did well too, it was just kind of annoying. And the endgame is crazy.
06 Jun 11 UTC Spring, 1874: Capturing 28 SC's to win seems a bit much.
