Team game on altered modern map on UKDP

Vincent Mous, the designer of the Modern map, and I have been discussing some tweaks on the Atlantic side of the map, with the aim of strengthening the BSF interaction. The result (pending playtesting) is the introduction of an illustrious province in modern British history, Ulster, aka Northern Ireland. 

Ulster is a canal province, allowing Britain to take Ireland in the first year with an army starting in Liverpool. There are some minor changes to the surrounding sea spaces too, all described on the game page for the first game to try this out, game teamplay on UKDP (http://uk.diplom.org/?game=teamplay). 

This is the same game that I advertised earlier as the first team game in DPjudge history. Five players will each be assigned two powers, but the victory criterion remains unchanged. I have shuffled the teams in order to assign BSF to different players, such that all teams now consist of non-neighboring powers.

This is a no-press game, so it should go pretty fast. Three positions have already been filled, only two more to go. If you are a DPPD-member, you can join the game by sending a JOIN message to [email protected]. Join and become part of history.
