Comment on the rule:

However good intentions there is behind this rule, the formulation is a problem. Making a rule that is based on a players intensions will never work. Particularly in this case, where the rule can be brought up any time between the DoW and some MP gains control of the minor - which could be months - when the lapse of war occurs. And that is - in most cases - the earliest time the intension with the DoW can be questioned.

In short, it prohibits a DoW a month or more after it was done. How do you execute that ??

Another formulation, that occurs to me to be more in the spirit of the game, would involve a penalty in PPs for lapse of war, say:

'Lapse of war with a minor, where no other MP supports the minor or has made a simultanious DoW on same minor, cost -2PPs to the MP, who DoW'ed the minor.'

This can of course be made more complicated by taking a lot of special cases in consideration, but I can't come up with cases where it seems worthwhile.

Hello. I would also be interested. It would be my first game though, and probably need some time to get the mechanics of play down. Also, would you have an idea how long a game takes to play?

Thanks,
