Like many people on this website I’m a big fan of military history. I’ve created a new game called "WW2 Team Game". The idea is to recreate world war 2 as it was fought between the 2 teams of axis and allies. The invite code is "fatboy". Below are the rules. Please read and understand them before signing up.

1) Team 1 will consist of the allies (England, France and Russia). Team 2 will consist of the axis (Germany, Japan and Italy)

2) No draw may occur if it contains both a member of team 1 and team 2. All drawing players must be on the same team. What this essentially means is that all 3 players from one team must be eliminated before the other team can draw.

3) As soon as all 3 players from one of the teams are eliminated then the surviving members of the other team must draw immediately and end the game. They are not allowed to continue fighting in the hope of attaining a solo win.

Anything not covered by those 3 rules is allowed. You are allowed to attack your own team mates (although it’s probably not a good idea) and a solo win is possible.

The allied powers in ww2 were not a hive mind. Even within an alliance each country had its own agenda and goals and there was often distrust between allies. They were more like alliances of convenience rather than a loving brotherhood. This game attempts to re-create that. You are still trying to achieve the best result for your individual country within your team.

Some further points to consider:

1) If one of your team members is eliminated then you still must kill all the members of the other team before you can end in a draw for your team. Since a 2 way draw is impossible on vdiplomacy, what this essentially means is that if one of your team members is eliminated then the only way that you can then win is by a solo victory. This means that there is an extra incentive to protect and support your weaker team mates if they are in trouble.

2) If you are (secretly) hoping to achieve a solo win remember that the game ends in a draw immediately after all 3 members of the other team are dead. This means that you have to arrange for either one or both of your team members to be eliminated BEFORE all 3 members of the enemy team are dead if you are to achieve this goal.

Any questions or comments put in this thread and I will answer them.
