Iron Curtain Pbem #1

[Xenozod]

yaroslav, your box is full. I'm not going to type the full thing out again!

Edit: Turns out it wasn't much shorter!

[yaroslav]

Sorry, Xenozod. I've emptied this! I'll play my turn in 30 minutes, so you can send a PM now if you want

[Xenozod]

I'm sorry all, but I have to go. The earliest I'll be back is past eight. Im really, really, sorry that I'm slowing the game down by so much.

[yaroslav]

Don't worry. I'll play my turn as usual and contact via PM with you tomorrow or they day after

USA report: We had done a little atack on Vietnam, but nothing more
------------------------------------------------------------
To China: As Academia says, we need to agree about the places where we'll figth and the units we will figth with. I could attack you (and hurt hardly, I think) on mainland China, but, for history's sake, I didn't. I suggest you to limit the war to Vietnam, and you must use only a few units (I will not attack Vietnam with anything but USA-mainland units). I think this way we can be historically correct If you don't agree, please conduct a limited war the first turn, in order to be fair

To CCCP: I demmand from you to move out the submarines near Alaska and the spy satellite near Scottland.
---------------------------------------------------------------
As a side note: Darius is a very good PBEM-player, as far as I know, so I bet this time for comunist

TO all,

As you may know or not, I'm working in the second version of my PBEM utility. This version (now in the -I hope- last beta) will include maps exchanging. We had betatested this, and works fine. So, if anyone want to do map exchanging (very useful: for example, china and CCCP can do it in order to share their knowlegde about USA units), I suggest you to download the utility from here

and send me a PM. After this, I'll send you the password for using the programm in a PM.

Next week I hope I can do a publich launch

Exactly my point. Evacuate Vietnam and Korea and let the people decide! Taiwan belongs to China, I'll also remind you. Now how would you feel if Maosit guerrillas took power in Mexico and declared allegiance to China?

I suggest you to limit the war to Vietnam, and you must use only a few units (I will not attack Vietnam with anything but USA-mainland units). I think this way we can be historically correct If you don't agree, please conduct a limited war the first turn, in order to be fair

The US has also intervened in Korea a few years ago. Chairman Mao permitted that, but Chairman El Leon has a hard time sleeping with the thought... We will refrain from sending troops from China to both countries if the US refrains from sending troops. Allow the countries self-determination.
I hope we can work out a deal before my turn is up.

[academia]

For the new guys:
Xenozod (i know this is your first PBEM)
El Leon (have you played a PBEM before?)

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!!
BEFORE FINISHING YOUR TURN, PRESS CTRL + N !!!!!
That prevents the AI from moving possible "sleeping" or "fortified" troops inside cities, transports, submarines, etc.

[yaroslav]

Dear El Leon. USA will still send troops, but not too much. Also we support Democratic Vietnam figth for free, so we ask china to limit the war to Vietnam, and also to not use all the units you can use

And about not sending troops to North Korea, you can do it because your mainland is close to Korea, but USA needs to send troops to South Korea. However, we don't a war against China or North Korea, so we can agree on a free-of-war Korea.

[El León]

Dear President Yaroslav. Small amount of USA troops in Vietnam=small amount of China troops in Korea. But we will agree that the only wars are the civil wars in these two countries. China and the US have no armed conflict between them.
A commitment to no nuclear presence in Vietnam, Taiwan or Korea would also be a good step towards friendship between our tow countries.

[First PBEM, do know about the CRTL+N thing)

[yaroslav]

About CTRL+N thing: you have to push CTRL+N before ending your turn. Put a unit that you don't want to move under the wait command, and when you return to this units and there are no more units to move, press CTRL+N. It's esay.

To China:
So we agree on a limited war on Vietnam. I'll send some troops and do attacks, but I'll always attack the Vietnam cities, nor those of China mainlad

[El León]

US:
1. Limited war in China AND Korea, under the terms discussed (no cities outside of these two countries).
2. Non-nuclear proliferation in Taiwan, Vietnam and Korea.

Of course, evacuating Vietnam would avoid all conflict, period.

[yaroslav]

To China:

Well, if you want to evacuate Vietnam, I will say a big 'thank you'

There are not war on Korea. Why must we start a new war? USA regrets those militaristic way of living.

In other words newbies, at least one unit has to be "flashing" like it is ready to move. This needs to be happening at the end of your turn. At A Place where it wont matter. Like if I was the USA I would take some garrison unit in the middle of my country and leave it unfortified in the city lets say Chicago. So that unit is always in Chicago and I always leave it till the end, when Ive finished everything else, I go back to that unit blinking at me and press CRTL-N. That keeps the AI from unfortifying units and moving them all over the place, you will get the hang of it.

Guys:
BAD NEWS!!!
I discovered some problems with the scenario regarding techs and wonders of the world.
No big deal about techs; i can fix that.
However, the problem relies on the fact that it´ll perjudicate the playability of future periods of my scenario.
Anyway, we can go on playing. I´m not going to ask Darius to replay his turn one more time.

What do you think? Shall we go on testing ONLY the 1964-1970 period? or restart the game one more time?

It´s up to you.
Sorry for these inconvenients It´s my fault
