As the name implies, a stalemate line refers to a set of provinces which, if all held with the proper number/type of units, cannot possibly be broken. The biggest most common stalemate line is illustrated above. Consider the diagonal that roughly goes Stp-Lvn-Pru-Sil-Boh-Tyr-Pie-LYO-WES If you count Stp (and Spa/Por) as being on the west of that line, there's 17 supply centers on each side. If you lock down that line all the way across, it's impossible for a power who controls the other side to solo. At first glance it seems like Germany might solo, but in reality it can only happen if someone throws or if Turkey falls into a coma. The game is over. <cite>turbopuns3 posted [p:944494822] in Diplomacy ... [t:78794443]...</cite> <quote>Great opportunity for a lesson here for new players regarding stalemate lines.
