Tales from the European Front I Setup

[OzzyKP]

Howdy all, seeing as how i'm taking a class all about War and Diplomacy in 19th century Europe i'm rather interested in the alliances and political manuverings and battles that are waged upon this continent among various different nations. Therefore I'd like to start a Diplo game on the European continent.

Same rules as typical diplomatic games except on a european map. But since the traditional map that comes with the game isn't really the best i have selected another which i think does the continent much more justice. This map is highly acurate and a much better rendering of the actual europe. It can be downloaded at the apolyton site, and is called "Real Europe"

Everyone complained last Diplo game i was in that i played as the Metalheads and wasn't historically acurate enough, so now we have a shot at being really true to form. The big powers; England, France, Russia, Germany have to be taken, and the rest of us have an option of being other nations that have had a big effect in Europe. Spain, Italy, Poland, Greece, Turkey, etc. Personally I am going to be the Hungarians. And you can try and stop me.

I'd like us all to agree on which nation we want to be first and so that the host can make sure that we each start in the correct Earth historical spot.

1x1x, Seven players, difficulty and barbs are up for discussion, traditional diplo rules apply.

Also, since the last diplo game i was in fell into disaster since no one had really done a diplo game before i'd like to get some experienced players in this one. As for a time i'm free sunday afternoons EST for a few hours. I am of course open to discussion on that.

Please respond, i can't wait for this to get started.

Also, if you can't find the map talk to me on ICQ, my number is 47270249

I would like to play in your Diplo game. Sunday afternoons are ok for me, although this Sunday I will be doing the bidding of the Army, so I will not be available until 630 or 700EST.

I would be interested in playing England or Germany.

[Berzerker]

I'll take Germany, but villages only - raging hordes distorts the game hurting the white power.

[OzzyKP]

Spread the word folks, if you know some experienced players talk to them in person. So far we've got 4 people.

Ozzy - Hungarians
Bezerker - Germans
Kent-Jo - English
Mr Dimbleby - Spanish or Russians

I think i may know a person or two who might be interested, but ask around. And i'd really prefer people to have a good knowledge of diplo games just because my other experience fell apart because no one did.

I liked to get in on this as French or Romans. I'll talk to you on AIM ozzy.

[The Capo]

I am definantly in but I can't think whether or not to be the Italians, Dutch, Swedes, or Austrians!

[OzzyKP]

Ok, so the country break down is as follows:

Ozzy - Hungary
Berzerker - Germans
Kent-Jo - Spanish or Russians
Mr. Dimblebery - England
Falcon - French
Capo - Italians

We've got one spot left, i want to make sure it is a true diplo game vetran. Falcon, Capo and I have had some experience, berzerker has had some. And I think kent and Dimple are both new.

I'm hoping we can get started as soon as possible, it'll be a long game since we are playing once a week i hope to get an early start. If you can make it this sunday please say so.
