@duke,

I do not have a Dropbox account, but I will get to it. My dog says we walk now. So I will be right back.

Chuck

[cpdeyoung]

That was quick.

I will have to download the scenario. So let me get it now. Is the most current iteration on the matrix site or the coder's site?

Chuck

[cpdeyoung]

I got the one from February off Vic's Scenariobank.

Does it require other mods?

I am going to tray an install.

215 I believe is current. As the allies you are restricted from using diplomacy on anyone till 1939 and then only on Belgium, Netherlands, Poland and Persia.

A note of advice France is short on supplies so either Great Briton or France should consider building a chemical factory for France as reasonably soon as possible.Your supply point in Vietnam can be shipped via transfer from there to the merchant hqs on the Atlantic it has supply trucks to ship it to your main Hqs in Paris. That will keep you going until German U- Boats show up after Poland is invaded in 1939.

Each year on the first turn of the new year new techs become available. As you research stuff the cost can go down over time or because an ally researched it except the strategic stuff. Also you have a limited number of new manpower points each turn. Infantry costs manpower to create. I can not remember what GB or France have as their manpower limits.

It costs 200 PP to create factories.

@TwoTribes,

I am reading the information supplied. I am impressed with the wide range of victory paths.

We do not live very afar from each other.

Chuck

[Twotribes]

Yes in game you can find the victory conditions listed per country on the graph clickie, just go to brief and victory conditions. Make sure you pick one before you end your first turn as it will randomly pick one if you don't.

[cpdeyoung]

I now have a Dropbox account set up. How do we use it for this game.

Chuck

[cpdeyoung]

I will take GB/USA/FR and am at the start screen. Are we using any optional rules?

When I click Start will I specify which countries I will be taking?

Hi Chuck

The Germany/Italy/Japan/USSR turns have been played

The file in the dropbox is France the next country in the sequence followed by the UK and then USA, China being the last. You play in effect three turns then the file will be deposited back in the Dropbox for china all you have to do is alter the file to read China and the current turn number in this case turn I.

If you send me a e-mail at tmain98560@aol.com I can send the invite to join the Dropbox folder

Paris, 14 Janvier 1938 : AFP : The Bourse went up over 3% on Thursday the 13th, as The War Ministry announced that current plans are based on no expectation of a war before 1942. A spokesman said that recent diplomatic activity has shown that European nations have new attitudes to solving conflicts of interest. The Ministry says the Nation is prepared, and potential enemies are aware that assaulting our defenses would result in a bloodbath.

Reactions from other nations are expected, but the British and Americans have said they will not rush a response, and it will require at least another day before they can comment.

Till then, Good Night all.

Moscow: Tass 15th January 1938 Stalin returns from the Bolshoi after sitting through Swan Lake. He is in a foul mood not having seen any swans or even a lake just a lot of guys prancing around on a stage wearing tights. Molotov hands the Soviet Supreme leader the communique from Paris. War before 1942 he laughs the French have not got one military assessment right since before 1812. Have we got anymore suspect generals to shoot I need to watch some real entertainment.

[Twotribes]

So whats the deal? We playing?

[ironduke1955]

I believe so just waiting for Chuck to take his turns that's three powers I guess the French turn has been completed.

[cpdeyoung]

Yes, I finished the French and am working on the British now. TwoTribes mentioned the British "building" a chemical factory for the French. What mechanism allows this?

Chuck

[ernieschwitz]

First France would need to ally with Great Britain.

Then british engineers would have to have enough EP for building the Chemical factory, not to mention Britain having 200 PP as well, to spend. Choosing a Hex somewhere in England would probably be preferable.

Then the British could give the hex, that the chemical factory is in, to France, and supplies would flow, from it, to France, once the French select a HQ for it to deliver them to.

[cpdeyoung]

Oh my. Well, Churchill was thinking of proposing that the two countries become one, and that procedure is pretty close.

Chuck

[cpdeyoung]

When I moved from France to Britain there was no saved file generated. Do I have to actively save before finishing America so I have a file for DropBox?

Chuck

[ernieschwitz]

You will have to use the Save & Quit button at the end of the turn.

[Twotribes]

I believe so. But the only safe way to save for loading for us is with the save and quit I believe. SO until you are ready to send the file no need to save and quit, just save locally.

[cpdeyoung]

Ready for China.

Chuck

PS. I am going to go ahead and switch to an AAR in the AAR folder.
