Correctly Notating your Posts

There's a method to how to e-mail the adjudicator so that the program can read what you want.

I put a bit of fuzzy logic for reading things.

But, here's the gist:

It reads both long names and short names.

This is what the program is based off of.

You have 6 possible notation types: Hold, Move, Support, Convoy, Build, and Disband. This is how to notate them to my system.

Hold:

F English Channel H.
A NAP H.

Move

A Nap -> Pie
F English Channel -> North Sea
A Nap - Pie
F ENG - NTH

(the program recognizes - as the stop point...)

Support/Convoy

Both use the same notation, only substituting C and S for whatever the case may be

A Nap S A Pie -> Rom
F English Channel C A London - Picardy

Build

When you capture supply centers, you can build new armies/fleets in the winter months. (Turns go Spring, Fall, Winter Year 19XX)

Build A Napoli
Build A Nap

This is the only way to build

Disband

When you lose supply centers, you're forced to contract your army/fleet size. This happens in Winter Months as well.

Disband F AEG
Disband F Aegean Sea

I'll be monitoring the game, and auditing my auditor to make sure my regular expressions in C are up to par, if they're not, i'll catch the output.
