Can players flip flop back and forth with their diplomatic stances during this phase? Or are they commited to a declared diplomatic stance once a counter is placed on the Diplomacy Chart?

The Diplomacy Phase is very "free form." Players are permitted to flip flop back and forth in any way or order they choose. For example, if I declare war against a particular Ideology, I can choose to rescind that after further discussion takes place during that phase.

Of course, the other Ideology can choose to remain at war by declaring war itself. The only rule of thumb to remember is that if two players offer diverse terms to each other and cannot come to an agreement, the more severe stance is adopted. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
