New Beginnings Game

[Arditi]

Alright Gents...New monster game....with militaria prizes. Experienced players please. Email me at arditi@suddenlink.com if you would like to play. 5 players. Tweber and myself are committed....need 3 more players. Seille, George?[:)]

1) Placements balanced.
2) Seasons and factories
3) Diplomacy
4) The map is random, but enhanced. Cities are distributed evenly. Three large cities within 9-10 hexes of each capitol. One large production factory within a few hexes of the player home capitol. makes pp's and supply. Protect this. 1 low production village with enhanced 1.5 combat/strength infantry or other units to be made. Protect this.
5) Research is expensive.
6) Everyone starts out with some level 4 tanks...use safely as you may never be able to rebuild again due to expensive research costs.
7) Tweber and I will go last.
8) We need aturn around of 24 to 48 hours....preferably faster initially. Have your ally play your turn if you will be gone. All passwords to me please.
9) All disputes settled by myself if needed.
10) No para expansion initially; only land movement and cargoships initially. Para's can be used later.
11) Also, there are supposed to named water ways and named islands.

What say you warmongers and peaceniks! Email me for the last three places.
Best to all, Arditi[:)]

Ok, we have all the players. It starts as...

My soldiers are ichin' for a fight.[;)]

[Appren]

Would be interesting to join, but I am not home from vacation for another 6 days or so, dunno when you start this game.

[Arditi]

  Hi Appren,
    If the lineup is not filled by the time you get back, we would be glad to have you.  I want to start fairly quick.
      Best Regards, Arditi[:)]

By the way: I'll be on holiday in France from August 8 until August 23, and I'm not allowed to bring my laptop [8D], so I will either need to beat you all by then or find a replacement/ally to play for me.

[Arditi]

[:)]  Hi George,
    If you could get your ally or a replacement.
   That would be great.
       Best Regards, Arditi

[TheArchduke]

I would love to join, if I may.

[Arditi]

  Good to have you Archduke.  What time zone are you in my friend?
    Regards, Arditi

Central European Time.

[george1972]

How many do we still need to start?

[Arditi]

  We need one more.  Hopefully soon we can start.  We need someone who will be reasonably quick with turns and will stick it out.
    Best Regards, Arditi[:)]

Ok, Russ. If you still want me to join i´ll play.
I hope it will be a fair game without any problems.

[Arditi]

Good to have you Juergen.  Ok, now we start.
  How about Archduke, George, Juergen, Tom and then Arditi...I will send the scenario to Archduke.
    Off we go.  If you guys would please resend a quick message to my email, so I can jointly email you all.
  Thanks.  Best Regards, Arditi [:)]

Looking forward to it.  I will play on 1.22.  Any other house rules we want to throw out?
 

[Arditi]

No para's for expansion.  Everything else goes.  Ok?
