The Shift variants are standard Diplomacy, played on the standard map
with standard powers, with the single exception that each of the powers
begins the game with his units occupying (and owning) the home centers
of another power. Each power's initial units are the same in number,
unit type, and position as the standard setup for the power whose supply
centers it is occupying.
Each power's home centers remain the same as in standard Diplomacy,
so that no power may build a new unit until it has captured one of its
own supply centers and then leaves it vacant in an adjustment phase.
