The Spring tournaments are almost upon us, but one more slow news week to get through.
Look Who’s Back!
After a hiatus of a year and a half, the Diplomatic Pouch is back with a new issue. Unfortunately, we may have to wait another 18 months for the next one, as the Pouch still needs a lead editor to replace Charles Roburn. Meanwhile, this long overdue issue contains an article by Chris Burke about last year’s World Diplomacy Championship in Sydney, Australia; a pretty good reprint from Diplomacy World No. 57 about the strategic importance of Greece; and a piece by David Norman about using drop-dead timing to keep tournament games moving. Check it out at diplom.org/Zine/S2012M/.

He Said, He Said: Diplomacy in the Bay Area
It started with a bounce in Piedmont, this game last Saturday at Mike Holy’s home in Menlo Park, California. Meanwhile, the Brits (Adam Silverman) stole into the Channel, while Germany (Edi Birsan) opened to Tyrolia, Russia (Brendan Hickey) moved Moscow to St. Petersburg, and Turkey (Peter McNamara) opened against Russia. It was your basic clusterf&#k.
Silverman pins the craziness on the Italian, Conrad Minshall.
