I suggest a bombur 4 person game, xxlarge map no roads ( make it interesting) Say 1937 as start year, Any one interested?

I figured guys would jump at this, and since I'm still a newbie, with a computer that I'm not sure is completely fixed from its recent crash and burn, I held off from answering right away. That being said, I'm interested in another (different ATG game) like a 4 person bombur game.

Now if we could just get two more. Bombur provides 7 Countries with mostly country specific equipment by year. No research of base year is required, most countries have a special or two techs that if they want them they have to research. The only problem I have with it is in the early years most countries do not have tanks. For example Germany gets the PZ1 and the 236/1 around 33 or 34 and the PZ II and 222 at 35. But they don't get the PZ III until 1939. The soviets start out early with several tanks and of course the French have a couple light tanks early and the Japanese.

I'm in (or would like to be) [:)]

That's 3 need one more )

There is an option for no roads or limited roads. My thinking is that rather then establish a time frame for enforced peace we start with out roads to force us to spend time to organize our Country. With limited roads a part of your country will have connections a part won't.

So which is better, no roads or limited roads?

One ADVANTAGE to no roads is you will have more HQs. each with 10 staff, staff is expensive in this nod.

I would vote for limited roads. I have never played with no roads, and think it would be more time building them than getting your armed forces ready.

Is Bombur allowed to join? I can send you the last version with some new stuff ad corrections...

Sure Bombur, would love to have you. The basic premise is that we will have a 2 versus 2 fight unless someone objects. Limited roads as a way to make time to organize your kingdom.

Just one problem I have never started a drop box game, no idea how, and what about an updated game? Will this one have US armored cars in it?

I added carriers, naval aircraft and lots of flying boats....
Will send the file to the community site in a few hours.

v0.85 uploaded

Just downloaded v0.85 and installed. I think falco has started a GD38 game as the Germans, so he might be able to talk you through it. I have only answered the invite in my email to join the game in dropbox.

Room for 1 more ?

If we do 5 we can not have alliances. Perhaps we can find a 6th? The more the merrier?

I see two solutions to 5 players. One we wait for a 6th. Two we let one person play two Countries. In that situation we would have either 2 teams of 3 or 3 teams of 2. Any suggestions?

I vote for two teams of three. Everyone will have to work with an ally that way.

I am sure I could fit another game in (If I give up sleeping, its overrated anyway)

Ok there are 7 countries in Bombur mod so we will each end up with a unique Country.

Just so we are clear we will be 2 teams of 3 , the set up will be start year 1937, limited roads xxlarge map, Normal world, Pangaea continents , Wrap around is optional.

The 7 nations are as follows...

USA, Great Briton, France, Germany, Italy,Japan, Soviet Union.

I would prefer in the following order, Germany, Soviet Union, France

I can take anything
