Any one here?

Yes not sure what the problem is either. Bombur has been very reliable on turns. Its USA/China normally in a five player game. But to be honest I would like to hear what the problem is with Bombur before we exclude him after all he did offer to play and has not said he is withdrawing. If he can't find time to play then just let us know and Antonio can take control of China if that's OK with Antonio.

[Jonathan Pollard]

I'd be willing to take China if Bombur is dropping out.

[ernieschwitz]

I have emailed Bombur, reminding him that it is his turn...

[RufusTFirefly]

Bombur has played turn for China now.

Jonathan, when there will be another game starting we will let you know, so you might join if you like.

[ironduke1955]

Ok thanks Antonio some startup problems all ironed out.

[ironduke1955]

Did I see that right Germany attacked Denmark and Denmark became a USA protectorate now Germany is at war with the USA in 1938. How did Denmark become pro USA ?

[ernieschwitz]

If Denmark got diplomatically influenced by USA during its turn, it is quite possible for Denmark to have had USA as best friend. The starting values don´t disallow this....

Personally, if Germany gets USA involved this early, i think it is a mistake on behalf of the German player. Not having the US locked up in a constant attempt to break isolationism, is imho a waste of PP.

EDIT:
I actually have toyed with the idea to see if USA could influence a few countries, and thus prevent wars from happening in Europe, or face USA activation. I was looking at Finland for this, but Denmark will do just as well i guess Of course this might just be a misclick, the declare minor war card is sometimes alittle sluggish on my PC, and i can if i am not careful do a double click, resulting in a DOW on Denmark.

[ironduke1955]

It could well be the case Antonio USA has a MO of influencing Denmark, he has done the same thing in our other game were he is also playing USA. Bombur may be kicking himself for not checking the political status of Denmark. Or he may be happy with the opportunity to humiliate the USA early in the game. One thing is certain the S**T has hit the fan I just hope none of it makes its way around the world to Japan.

[hatemf90]

France's turn

[Rander]

Interesting "what if...?" situation with USA being on war in 1938.

Turn done and uploaded.

Bye!

I thought it was RufusTFirefly playing the Germans?

[ironduke1955]

Yep correct mixing this game up with another game where Bombur is the Germans

[RufusTFirefly]

As playing Germany it is my intention to get control over Denmark. From another game I knew that Antonio had influenced Denmark hoping a DoW on Denmark would bring USA to war early. Thought he would not do that again, as last time it had not worked (on early DoW on Denmark). So I sent the DoW but did not check, which nation was favoured by Denmark.

So it was an accident.

Lets see what will happen now. Interesting situation.
