I should of spelled it out Over at that forum, they played a six player campaign. The North side had a big problem for awhile because the Northern President pretty much reduced his two players to observers.

This is one of the crucial issues that makes me think that a team game wont work with the game in it's current state.The control of units in multiplayer games needs some work from the devs so that you can't move units that arn't directly assigned to you.I think there will be problems with teammates from neighbouring commands 'accidently' moving units under your control as well.

How do you get an image to appear in your signature box? I can't figure that out...

That shouldn't completely ruin the game. We'll get used to avoiding this pretty quickly and when it does happen, well that was a command and control failure = real life issue...

I thought I saw something in the tester forum about how the city flak had gotten much stronger against city bombing. I thought I even saw Pavel say he might tone it back down since he had increased it quite a bit. This was in beta 4.

Hi Joel,

Not sure if Pavel had toned this down prior to Beta 4?

This should be interesting, and start to simulate C in C problems in real life. For example, attacking around your area boundaries between two players. If I command AGC, I may also be loathe to "lend" a Panzer Corp to AGS to form a giant pocket, even if it's the right thing to do.

To complete the realism, I propose the following rules:

1. For SOVIET team players, if you reach more than 100 losses vs. defeats, you are "Recalled to Moscow for Consultations".

You are out of the game, and your user profile is deleted. Matrix will delete any posts you ever made out of the forum, and delete any reference to your forum screen name. Players mentioning you again will be banned permanently.

2. For the GERMAN player, you will not be able to move any unit westward voluntarily. Units will have any hex west of them "blacked out".

The only way to override this is to use the "Ask the Fuhrer's Permission" button. A die roll of 1 out of 100 will open the westward hexes. Any other roll and you are out of the game.

To make it really interesting, if you're executed, you HD dies.

How about, if your HD dies you're executed? If the reverse happens, you don't really care about the HD after all...

Harsh but fair, Harsh but fair!

Oh the silence, the horrible silence!

Waiting for the Soviet purges to end

Pieter has said to expect the turn either tomorrow or Thursday.

It will take until the weekend, I'm afraid. First turn always takes the most time in terms of planning.

Assume you have all upgraded to Beta 6?

yes, however I am anyway out for turn 1
