I don't think I've ever finished a face-to-face game of Diplomacy. The fact that it's almost impossible to find exactly seven players willing to spend an entire day playing Diplomacy makes it even less likely to happen. And that's a shame because it can be a TON of fun in person. I'd love to find a game like Diplomacy that's easy to learn, hard to master, with all the fun negotiating, bluffing, and backstabbing, but designed for ~2-5 players and lasts only a few hours. Any recommendations?
@DuelMonarchy Yep, there was at least one filmed move that, in retrospect, didn't quite meet the rulebook, but I decided to let it stay in the interest of keeping the story tight. (And anyway, no player at the table objected to it.)

What an embarrassing game by Germany :)
Also some of those orders were adjucated incorrectly. But an interesting watch.

@slarghblah Face to face is always about keeping it moving. I still really enjoyed it, good production.
