GLOBAL WAR COUNTER-FACTUAL (W1/Wilhelm vs rkr1958/jp)

1. How are we to do the dice rolls?

2. FYI. Seeing that I'm in the central time zone (Northern Alabama, USA) and you three are in Great Britain and Europe, then it looks to me that my gaming reactions for this game will be in the range between late morning though early evening. Of course, on most weekends this shouldn't be a problem. And after March 12, 2020 when I retire it won't be a problem either for most week days.

Goodnight! Just finished with the Soviet setup.

Warspite, back to you. I've justed PM you with the game file attached. Please PM me back when you get to chance with the email address you'd like me to use to send you game files.

Or should we setup a drop box somewhere for this?

For fair game.Does everyone understand that in a PBEM game players can influence which starting units they get? If you dont like the start army list you get. Restart the save and do it over and over till you get what you like. It works the same when you're building units at end of turn.
If some players dont know how this works they have a big problem. If everybody knows it, its just an advantage all can use. And thats fair.

Just sent a PM to all three of you which included my email address.

If we're all set then I guess it's up to my partner, who's the US/France/CW to start the game and begin the setup.

Good luck to you all.

Oh, I guess die (dice) rolling service. Which one and where do I sign up?

ORIGINAL: jesperpehrson

Ronnie is playing Russia, China and C.China
I will be playing USA, CW and France.

As for the version I am on the wrong version. I assume I need to get the Beta-version of the update and then find the hotpatch.

As I am the US-player starting the game I assume I start it as a solitaire game?
I agree with Ronnie about not reloading startingunits, we play with the cards we are dealt!
Yes, solitaire. Also, for the version. Go to https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4736334 to get the latest full public beta 3.01.00.00 (very first post) and to https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4739859 to get the hotpatch 3.01.00.01, which is just an executable that you copy over the one from 3.01.00.00.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: Set-up (Italy)

I keep the Italian scraps fairly light I think

The set up is fairly conventional I think. The forces in East Africa have been told to apply pressure to Allied holdings in the region. The navy is in La Spezia en masse and Balbo is menacing on the Egyptian border.
