First Strike 2 PBEM

[Patine]

I see it now. Thanks! Will begin shortly.

So I guess we have decided against a points penalty for not playing turns promptly! Thats cool. I just want to make it clear that I will probably get upset if I have to wait too long. Toys will be thrown out of the pram etc...
Think its better to say that now than get my knickers in a twist later on!
(Now I have said that I will probably be the first guilty person!)

I have been studying the rules and am very much looking forwards to this game. Not quite sure how to try and win and still have fun though. Maybe we will need to be a bit flexible with the rules as the game goes along to keep the fun in it?!?

Leonid Brezhnev addresses the UN General Assembly:

We the USSR and our client states in the Warsaw Pact are determined not to bow down to the Western, Imperialsitic, Capitalist pressures of NATO or its puppet states in the Third World, whose citizens are conditioned to hate our enlightened Marxist system without even understanding it. In this dark time in global history, Moscow will bring a light to chase away the remaining shadows of colonialism and feudalism, albeit under different names, and bring rule and justice to the People of the World.

No Proxy Wars or other significant news for the first turn.

Just want to remind you it's important to inform of pollution in your territory everyturn, in accordance with the rule that all points aquired or lost is to be told in every turn report.

Noticed you Patine had 1 pollution square. If the big pollutors don't take the pollution challenge seriously, there may be global warming...

India, the last civ to play, EmuGod in this case, will have to keep track on the VP sitation. Like this for example:

NATO VPs this turn:
-6 trade routes established = +3 VPs
-1 civil tech discovered = +2 VPs
-2 pollution squares = -2 VPs

Altogether = 5 VPs (-2 pollution) this turn.

----------------

Points must be gathered from the posts and added into this sheet. Pollution will be added in brackets with a red type. I started it for you, and USSR is now updated:

VP situation January 1975 (start of game)
1. WARPAC: 0 VPs -1 pollution
2. China: 0 VPs
3. NATO: 0 VPs
4. Brazil: 0 VPs
5. India: 0 VPs


Good luck again!

[Patine]

Duly noted, Eivind! Will keep track of this from now on.

ATTENTION!
You need to download the v.3 just released on the SL site and patch it in your FS2 folder. I just noticed the pro-westerners were able to build advanced NATO equipment, only ment for the minor human civs. Now fixed.

Trying to start my first turn now. A few questions!

1. I guess this is a .net game! I have only played .hot before.

2. To load do I go to Multiplayer Game > Network Game > TCP/IP > Load a saved Multiplayer Game > LOAD SAVED GAME (IE China 1975jan) > Enter Net Name > Enter Game Name > Start Game > Choose Player 1: NATO.

After I do this the Pro-Soviets move, then the Pro-NATO move. I then start my turn and get lots of we love El Presidente messages and loads of pollution (x7).

Does this sound correct? I will play my turn on the assumption that it is. If not I will just have to start again properly

Will post as soon as I have finished

[Eurisko]

It is correct.

NATO TURN 1

NATO leaders brains hurt after spending hours trying to sort out the economy. Hopefully next turn will be a little quicker!

My brain hurts now so diplomacy will have to wait until later

Pollution: x7

The Brazilian Empire informs that we wont tolerate communist guerilla activities inside southamerica.
In case of discovering enemy units, we will intervene.

Apart from that, peace and love for everyone.

[EmuGod]

Nothing to Report - India is concerned with economic development.

VP Situation End of January 1975
1. WARPAC: 0 VPs -1 pollution
2. China: 0 VPs
3. NATO: 0 VPs -7 pollution
4. Brazil: 0 VPs
5. India: 0 VPs

[Patine]

Got a few RL issues. Will play tomorrow.

[McMonkey]

Come on Patine. Either play or drop out! I have plans that are festering here!!!

[Patine]

A US and South African-supported rebellion has just been started in Angola (the UNITA) as pawns against the People's gov't there. We intend to send troops to intervene as a Proxy War. 1 pollution, as well.
VP's-0 -2 pollution
