 It looks like Crowded is the most popular choice, so can I have any takers for Crowded please - rules below.

cheers,
Stephen
CROWDED

1. In the Crowded variant the standard map is used with the exception of having a supply center in Ruhr. Each of the 35 supply centers starts out as a home center for one of the eleven players. The original seven players start out with their normal units and positions and are joined by the four new players:

Balkan: F Greece, F Rumania, A Serbia, A Bulgaria

Lowland: F Belgium, A Holland, A Ruhr

Norway: F Norway, F Denmark, A Sweden

Spain: F Portugal, A Spain, F Tunis

2. The victory conditions remain 18 centers.

  Hi folks,

  It's about time I finally ran my 20th cat23 game, so please e-mail me if you're interested in playing one of the following games:

  Intimate - 2 player tactical variant, with bidding for mercenary countries.
  Setup - Standard 7-player diplomacy, except that builds can be in any controlled region.
  Escalation - Variable-player variant, with turn-based placements at the start.
  Mercenaries - Intimate diplomacy for 7 players.
  Crowded - 11-player variant on the standard map.

  Rules for these games can be found on my website:
  http://www.geocities.com/stephen_worthy/Variants.html

  Please ignore the other games as they were suggestions for another time.  If you're willing to play more than one variant or more than one game, let me know.  My house rules are linked at the bottom of the page, but basically it will be a 5-day movement, 2-day adjustment cycle with no NMR's.

  regards,
  Stephen
