A Weekly Threat Assessment of the Diplomacy Community

MidCon UK Results
The UK Face to Face Diplomacy hobby hosted their annual MidCon diplomacy tournament.  It was a enjoyable time and congratulations to Graham Dent on his win.  Thanks also goes to Andy Harris for organizing and Dave Simpson for being the tournament director.
The British Diplomacy World
Stephen Agar has had a tremendous influence on the hobby.  He runs the Diplomacy Archive which has been one of the most helpful sites for online diplomacy players.  It has a rich catalog of strategic articles and is like getting a university course in Diplomacy.

He was also very influential in the UK postal zine scene.  He currently maintains the UK Diplomacy Zine Archive which houses a pretty comprehensive collection.  He started a few different zines but one noteworthy one was The Tangled Web We Weave.  It was his hope that it would be a British Diplomacy World.  Alas, it only lasted 2 issues.  It was a very well done zine though.

  
Below I've chosen 3 articles from those two issues.   

The Northern Dash (An Aggressive French Moveset for Belguim)

The Middle Game of Diplomacy (A Much Neglected Skill)

The Greatest Diplomacy Recovery of All Time (How a 2 Center Germany Came Back to Win It All)
