Yeah, I agree with Dedas too. Problems arise when people take things too seriously. And I also agree with Velusion, although personally I'd find it quite hard to break a pact. Probably why I always sucked at the Diplomacy board game!

When I was hanging around with fairly active board gamers -- playing games like Diplomacy or Empires in Arms -- it was generally accepted that baring your throat, even to a nominal ally, was fatal if it was clearly advantageous for the other. Diplomacy was most reliable when coordinating the violent dismantling of third parties to the obvious advantage of both.

Austria had lots of fun in both those games. Best move in EiA was to just go with Charles based in Vienna so he could react to any ally's, I mean enemy moves.
