This variant became the standard form of play in Brazil, since the only edition
of Diplomacy available there was this unauthorized bootleg version by GROW
Produtos Para Recreacao, Ltda., with its minor differences in the map lines
(Clyde, Edinburgh, the North Atlantic and the Norwegian Sea meet at
a point, and an additional line crosses the lower Baltic from Berlin to
Denmark), the addition of the North Africa supply center, and the modification
of the Roman unit. These
differences are considered to be mistakes or perhaps intentional minor
variations made in an attempt to forestall copyright infringement action.
