I actually have this game, but have never found anyone to play it with. I have the computer version as well, but it is too easy to beat.

You might want to check to see if they still play the postal version (in e-mail). Postal Diplomacy was big in the 1970s. There was even a subcult of publishers who warred with each other.

And, amazingly, there were even quite a few libtards. I always wondered what would motivate libtards to play a war game.

I actually did fairly well the postal version by letting other players know that I never objected to participating in a two or even three way win.

Funny thing was that if you did this from the get-go and followed through, most people actually beleived you. Later in the game, not so much.

Any of the countries in the center of the board (Austria-Hungary, Italy and Germany) were tough to win with. But I always thought Italy was the toughest, maybe because there was only one sure supply center from the get-go (Tunis).
