The Great War (WWI)

[Grymme]

Any people interested in playing this oldie, but goldie "the Great War" by tweber.

The following nations, if i remember correctly are included.

Germany
Austria-Hungary
Turkey

The West (Britain, France & US)
Russia
Serbia
Italy

We would usually let the west play Italy and Russia play Serbia.

I would like to play Austria Hungary.

[Bombur]

I could play, Grymme

[Jay Doubleyou]

Interested. Played this one before, but people bailed out during the game.
Preference is to play Russia/Serbia or Turkey.

[Grymme]

cool, we have 3 out of 5 players.

Bombur. Which one do you prefer?

Jay. Turkey or Russia/Serbia first?


Should aim for each player being able to pass along turn in 24-36 hours.

[AttuWatcher]

Thanks for the invite Grymme, I can play. Would prefer to play Turkey or something a bit easier to manage than Russia being new to AT.

[Bombur]

I could play Germany?

I'd play West/Italy or Russia/Serbia. I don't have a lot of time at the moment but w/ 4 or 5 players and 30 minute turns I could do this one I think. I've played both Axis sides before and written AAR's about them. It would be good to try Russia or West for a change.

Just be fore-warned that this one is all about counter-battery fire. When counter-battery is on and there is a lot of artillery in the scenario it's going to be the dominant consideration. Still fun though.

Or a 6th player for Serbia/Italy ?[:)]
That is the choice in a other playing. it is more practical.

[Grymme]

Balder. I think Italy/serbia could be pretty boring to play. Serbia tends to get knocked out early and italy has only one. pretty thin front. Also bringing in a 6th player slows the game down.

According to my calculations that would put us as.

Germany - Bombur
Austria-Hungary - Grymme
Turkey - FAsea

Jay Doubleyou - Russia/Serbia
JJdenver - West/Italy

If that is acceptable?

Nobody gets extra PP, screenshots & passwords selected. Maybe Bombur could start the game of and send the turn to me.

[Jay Doubleyou]

Sounds fine to me.

[jjdenver]

No word from Bombur? Does he still want to play?

[Bombur]

Turn sent to Grymme

[Grymme]

My turn done, but needs FAseas email. Can you PM it to me?

[AttuWatcher]

PM sent ( with email)

[jjdenver]

Hey guys,

I've been in enough PBEM games to know that they often stop unexpectedly when a player just disappears. Or they have 20 day halts when someone goes on vacation or has something happen in their life that prevents play for awhile.

Because of this could we pls send our pwd to another player we are allied with?

I've PM'ed my password to Russia. Could you all please just take a moment and send your pwd to another player on your side?

Thanks
jj

P.S. West turn done, waiting on Russia's email address.

[Jay Doubleyou]

It would be nice to follow the gamestatus.
So could people post if they have sent their turn to the next player?
Did send my turn to Germany yesterday.

Turn to Bombur

[Grymme]

Its tough going as austria-hungary. Lots of enemies and scarce resources. Cant wait untill Italy comes into the war and increases the workload
