New Beginnings Game

[Arditi]

I need a turn fix!  Let's hope we can hurry things up this week.
  Regards, Arditi[:)]

[tweber]

No turn yet.  I am also getting a bit impatient.  I hope I get it tonight.

[Arditi]

George?[:)]

Turn to Tom.

Not much to reports, still haven't found anyone else but Tom. The number of villages under my control is staggering. Their actual yield is disappointing... I will need to build some factories for those lazy people and get them to do some real work.

Sorry about the delay, but I didn't have enough time to finish my turn yesterday evening. Production setup is becoming more and more time consuming with all those little islands and 20 HQ's running around trying to get things done. Next time, let's play a continental map

One delay after the other...
But the setup is indeed very difficult with the many VERY little islands. Not sure it was a good idea.

[tweber]

Turn to Arditti
 
I reinforced the village that we attacked by Seille.  I painted a city on an island nearby but was not able to occupy.  Seille has forces in the area and will get to first.  Looks like we will have our first proper battle.
 
The overall map and terrain will give this a Guadalcanal feel.

If i get the turn in the next 4 hours i´ll do it today
otherwise tomorrow (morning shift).

[Arditi]

Turn sent.  Seille and I move around each other, but do not attack.  Chance for peace?
  Regards, Arditi[:)]

Turn will arrive too late for me i think, but thanks to Tom and Russ
who tried to send it fast as possible.
Will do my next one tomorrow afternoon CET.

[TheArchduke]

Doing it now.

[seille]

No turn here. Forgot to send ?

[TheArchduke]

Sent on. I am finally figuring things out on this map. Perhaps a bit late?[8|]

[seille]

Sent my turn to George.
First attacks. Sunk some SR cargoships.

[george1972]

Turn to Tom.

Still no sign of anyone else, but I do keep running into Tom's "colonization units" everywhere along my border. So far no incidents have occurred.

[tweber]

Turn to Arditti about 6 hours ago.
 
In the north, some air and sea skirmishes vs Seille.  I am trying to capture an inland city.
 
George and I now peacefully share 3 islands in the south.
 
 

[TheArchduke]

Turn sent to seille some time ago, so we are moving.

I am still playing catch up, especially production wise.

[seille]

Turn to George. Sunk some more cargo ships.
Vikings have the lead in production followed by Sea Raiders.

[Arditi]

Me needy turny. [:)]

[george1972]

Turn to Tom.

We had a small incident where a scout plane of mine was shout down by a Viking cruiser...

The turns are really laborious to do. Especially figuring out how to route production properly to all those islands and sailing many small ship groups around. I'm guessing we'll be lucky if we manage to make a 48-hour turnaround when we hit turn 20... Or perhaps it's just that I'm inexperienced with the naval scenario's [:'(]

[TheArchduke]

Same here.

Right now my biggest worries are not military but rather establish a sound supply/production reroute sheme involving new harbours, factories, etc..
