I thought we would have to build first. It's Spring 1901 though so did we all start with Armies and Fleets already?

This is the starting map. I modified the setup so that every nation starts out with one unit, as shown on the map. Spain and England begin with fleets, while everyone else starts with an army.

Well that changes quiet a lot.
Whose up for a no agression deal for the first year? This way we wait for the winter phase and we get to built more troops.

Once people have more troops, it becomes really difficult for one person to crack another without town approval, and we should be able to figure out team efforts to take over territory.

+ Show Spoiler [A note on coasts] +

For those who have not played Diplomacy before: There are two territories that have (2) coasts; Spain and Bulgaria. These two territories have coasts that are separated by another territory. Thus, a fleet on Spain's south coast (sc) cannot move to Gas, but is allowed to move to Por and Mar. A fleet on Spain (nc) can move to Gas and Por, but not Mar. A fleet on Bul (sc) can move to Gre or Con, but cannot move to Rum. A fleet on Bul (ec) can move to Rum and Con but not Gre.

I'm not. Right now I've got an easy path to taking Marseilles from you. I'll think about it and make my decision based on what goes on in the next day and a half.

You can't pick up Spain without losing your army or Brest. Your march to Spain would have you surrounded by my new Army in Marseilles, the Army that would be built in Portugal and my fleet sitting in the LYO. Not to mention you'd send off your only army with 1 army in Belarus right there.

You really don't have any power to stop me from taking it. Either way like I said I'm not sure I want to just yet. Still looking at another option.

Clarification: The SCs listed under "Home SCs" in the OP means that those are the SCs where you can build IF you own the SCs and they are vacant. Otherwise, you cannot build in these SCs. The word "Home SCs" is just used to determine which SCs you can legally build in if you own them. For example, France is not allowed to build in London even if London is vacant and owned by France. You only own SCs that are shaded in your own color. So currently, everyone only owns the SC that they are currently occupying.

You are not allowed to have multiple units in a single territory.

I move to spain. At the end of winter I have a troop in Bre, and a troop in spain. 2 countries.

You only have 1 country, a troop in Mar. Doesn't seem that great for you imo.
