I have had less time to play this game than I would have liked and I don't know how much time I will have in the near future. I have so far played four of my ten turns. I don't know how patient you guys are, but it could take some time to finish my turns.

[Scouse Gits]

LOL this is the stage where stamina tells ... just keep on slugging (should we drop to 5 turns each now - so we all get a little slice of the bad guys?)

I vote for five turns each. There's no point in making Paul (and the later players) slog through too much of this game, now that it's reached the "foregone conclusion" stage.

[Paul]

In that case: game sent to kcbob. Just finished my 5th turn.

1800 Bribe Neuremberg
Capture Corinth, Thessalonica
1802 Conscription
Capture Athens, Durrow, Pharsalos, Herakleia, Mycenae, Sparta, Argos
1804 Capture Rhodes, Delphi, Miletos
1806 Capture Mytilene, Halicarnassus
1808 Capture Artemisium, Salzburg, Issus, Troy
1810 Tactics
Capture Apollonia

I have the con. I'll try to get to it tonight. From what I'm hearing, I may want to vote for two turns.

Oh Julius my friend - this game is giga. The two of us got together on Friday .... here is the log to date:

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

The Giga Map Succession ... 1822 AD GULP!

Scouse Gits open more wine! Sorry, La Fayette this time it's Argentinian!

Two and a half hours later we have made a move!
Built one or two minor home improvements (43 Markets, 48 Banks & 6 Stock Exchanges) -- sussed out the ship/railroad route to Berlin -- ready to rumble!

1824 Bonn, Abergavenny (Celtic cap) & Berlin (German cap) fall to our forces -- the Celts having fallen for the old, "We're terribly sorry, please have 1200 gold and a profuse apology for your "MAPS" trick!

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

I promise you we have not forgotten it.

I never doubted you would play it. They say great wines do bonify with time. Is it the same with succession games ?

Well, I guess you’re progressing, but slowly. Hmmm those ICS games …

I believe the SGs are sitting on it. But I must say that I had indeed forgotten about it until Julius bumped this thread.
