[jidmiddleton]

Hi All,

AddledPlatypus didn't respond - sorry Addled.

Let me know when you get your turn

Hi Guys,

I've sent my first turn to Hercules.

Just to make sure that everything is set-up correctly, can you guys let me know when you get your turns and that everything is ok with them?

Cheers,

Jid

[Hercules]

I play my turn later today. Sorry for delay.

[Hercules]

Turn to Andy. That was a hell of an advanced start range of options.

[Andydog]

Everything worked fine for me.

--> Wittlich

[Wittlich]

Need Jid's Address

Same for me as well...However; I do not have Jid's email addy.

Jid - please PM or Email (wittlich-at-sbcglobal-dot-net) your address to me thanks.

However, here is Jid's new turn - just so the game is not slowed down:

[Hercules]

Next turn 3960BC ? to Andy

[jidmiddleton]

Everything is working fine!

Thanks, guys!

The turns have gone full circle now so everything is working fine. We csn ease up on posting the progress of the turn on Apolyton.

Cheers,

Jid

--> Wittlich

I'd recomend keeping track of turns on these boards, games always seem to flow more smoothly in my experience.

[Wittlich]

I concur with Andy.

3920BC to Jid

[Hercules]

Yes I agree, posting is useful to keep track of the game.

We may like to choose a name for the game. Like 'Pick and choose', 'Middleton's advance' .

Meanwhile turn 3920 BC to Andydog.
