Our Organization



Founded in mid-1999 by Manus Hand (creator of The Diplomatic Pouch, winner of the 1996 Don Miller Memorial Award, world team champion and top-table placer in 1998 and 2002), the Association of Rocky Mountain Area Diplomacy Adversaries (ARMADA) grew astonishingly quickly. The ARMADA now boasts of over a hundred very active members located throughout the Rocky Mountain States, but concentrated in the Denver area.

The ARMADA is organized into geographical sub-units called "fleets." These fleets have regular FTF meetings (as often as once a month), which means that there is always someplace to "Dip" in the Rockies

In addition to hosting the annual Regatta, the ARMADA also runs a great many PBEM games and FTF events. The ARMADA maintains a presence at every Denver gaming convention (including BenCon and TactiCon), and has run dozens of ARMADA-sanctioned FTF and PBEM games among the membership.
