Stacked Diplomacy, ONE more player needed.

Alright folks, I have six players interested players
so I need one more to get this playtest off the
ground.
Deadlines will be set at 2 weeks between Spring/summer
and fall/winter.  I am hoping to have
retreats/summer/winter done within 48 hours of the
spring/fall results coming out.  

So, is there anyone else out there up for the
challenge of stacked diplomacy????

There is one clarification/change to the rules as
outlined below.  When two armies for a given power are
moving into a third space the player must state
whether they are going to bounce, or are going to
stack.  The same holds true if a unit is moving to a
space occupied by a unit of the same power.
