looking for another game

[ArmouredLion]

I'm fine with whatever. I'll make due and have fun. Thanks for all the work Two Tribes.

Armouredlion, i know your intentions are good but why are you combining 2 threads for 2 games started by 2 different people? if the 2 games had started i wouldve joined both, hence why I posted IN both, this is the point I wanted to make in my very last post here, that I usually consider what I post and not post randomly, not a personal attack against you. Simply letting every one speak for himself and let the host of whatever game organize it is really the only way to go, speaking for other people causes confusion, and having to reaffirm my commitment for every passing post that excludes me is not a fun thing to do, no offense to you.

Twotribes just let us know when you are happy with the game creation and we can start to choose nationalities and sides.

[Twotribes]

are we using the new version?

[ArmouredLion]

Falco was the third player to commit to the game... given the other thread, is he still committed or interested? Do any have issues? I don't know. It's not for me to legislate. I do know Two Tribe said this:

"ok how many people want to play a bombur mod game we will set the year to 1940 and will leave out Italy, Japan and France."

Two Tribes, me, Falco, & LAo were the pecking order. You were 5th and Duke 6th. This random mod becomes a balancing act after 4. We now have 6, or 7 if Falco is in... which I hope is the case.

So, given TT was sort of snubbed in the other thread and wasted his time making a scenario for naught, I re-commited out of courtesy, Duke had just committed, so I add him along with me and my "... any others" was meant as a prompt to recommitted because TT stated he didn't know the situation.

I should have worded it better, my failing. But I thought it an innocuous statement.

[ArmouredLion]

I think we must use the new one TT... some of the issues with the older version were game breakers.

[falco148]

Yeah if theres a vacancy for another player I'll join up. My other three games appear to have totally stalled.

[ArmouredLion]

Excellent! Bomburs mod is going to get a workout. Two Tribes you deserve a medal of valor... or purple heart. How can we do this with 7... or can we get an 8th. Smarter players than me please chime in. My only thought is if we do teams, maybe one player might run two nations?

[Bombur]

I didn´t change patrol aircraft but I removed anti air values from submarines.

[ironduke1955]

Thanks for that Bombur

[hatemf90]

Im gonna need some tutorial/guide for bombur mod..

[ArmouredLion]

If you know 1938, it's the same, brother. Only difference is if you play an earlier date to start, you might not be used to the equipment and nations progression.

Hello guys,

I understand that you are enthusiastic starting another game. But please keep an eye on the games where you are already participating. There are two Triumph games that are running very slow and there are turns for more than ten days at dropbox now.

I dont want to start too many games and therefore want to finish one game before participating in a new one. But I get tired of waiting again and again. Had feeled at home in this community for a long time. But it turns out being frustrating more and more as games are dying due to players that have lost interest or have no idea where they are involved while running too many games at same time.

I have to admit that one reason to buy TOAW IV was that I am looking for some PBEMs that are running faster than the ones I am involved here and of which I can be sure they will be played to the end instead of being givern up due to inactivity of players.

[ernieschwitz]

I agree with Rufus. You really need to keep watch on the games you play.

I often send out an email when i put something in the dropbox, so those playing with me know it's their turn. That is really the one thing I don't like about dropbox, that changes can go unnoticed. One of the reasons I did prefer email, but lately some emails simply seem to vanish that are sent to me...

[ArmouredLion]

FYI this is a passive aggressive attack on me. Look, I'm sure you're an awesome guy, but to say the quote below to me 2 weeks ago in defense of yourself and an attack on me, and then say what you are saying now is really laughable. I think you should find a replacement for me, as you obviously have a deep seeded grudge... I'm German too and I, at least form my family, know grudges don't die easy with the Germanic. Hand filling and adjusting, I don't know, a few hundred units and building dozens more and trying to learn the system while setting up strategies and tactics to rebuild the entire soviet army is at least double or triple the amount of work for your turn. I am thoughtful with every unit... that's just how I play. It took you from the 6th to the 12th to finish your turn, and despite your incorrect assumption I wasn't sweating you. You and I aren't here for this, brother. We are here to have fun. I'll finish my turn by tomorrow and then you can replace me. Maybe we can play another game in the future and have a more amicable time in the sun.

Rufus quote: "Have had some busy time at work. Sorry for keeping you waiting for four days.

@ Armoured Lion
There are other games that run slow as well. Four days is far below the average of other games where I am participating.

At GB1938-game27-turn-33 a player took 12 days to play his turn. Turn 34 seems to be continued after 4 days now.

At New Triumph game we are waitung for four days as well. At first Triumph game it is 13 days now and at Third Triump game we are waiting for 17 days already.

So please be patient and be careful before accusing someone here in public."

[ArmouredLion]

His turn around last turn was 4-5 days--6th -12th. I am doing soviets and my turn was posted not the 26th, as he conveniently 'miss typed' , but the 29th at 7PM. So double or triple the work and I went 2 more than him... and I get this?! Please... this is why I like table top games... it puts people in arms length.

[Bombur]

How many players do we have for now?

[ArmouredLion]

It seems to be 7 now...

And just so it's on the up and up--honor and my name have value to me:

[lordlau1]

are we playing on the huge size map?

[Twotribes]

with 6 players on an extra large map it was 20 cities counting capital, it will be less with 7 regimes. on the next smaller map it was 10 cities i do not enjoy real small regimes makes it very hard to fight anybody. but no we are not use the largest setting.
