epic game PBEM with multi-turn-sessions

[Redboy]

oh, never mind, maybe I should read the WHOLE post. It makes MUCH more sense that way.

[Redboy]

You guys are gonna have to forgive me, but I am new to the whole forum thing, but what is the new thread called?

[sabrewolf]

it's not open yet, sorry... i havn't had time. i guess i'll be ready some time this weekend.

redboy & smellymummy, can you figure out in the mean time which of you shall go first and which later?

[Redboy]

what time zone is smelly in? I am Alberta (Mountain Time). Thats GMT-7.

[smellymummy]

i'm in AZ, and during summer it's GMT -8

[Redboy]

So I guess I would go first right?

[sabrewolf]

redboy: i need your email address where you want the save delivered...

[sabrewolf]

ok, i tested this out. there IS a chance of changing who plays first, who next, etc. i'll have to edit the MP9-WWII-Pacific Scenario.

so, please everyone state your preference of civ you want to play.

your choices are:
- china: immediate action, only land based fights. you're facing japan with lots of units and -especially on sid- lots of new units coming. resources will probably be needed for rushing and the other civs should help you with tech research.
- united states: basicly meaningless in the first turns. the only cities in the region are either small, or are pearl harbor . but if you don't get your forces over soon, china will be toast and so is the game. best is you get tons of bombers and marines and get those victory points on the islands.
- netherlands: no direct interference in the beginning. get your infantries on ships and send them to the mainland to defend china's last cities.
- commonwealth: a few cities near japanese, but most are in australia and have no immediate influence.

i guess china is the biggest challenge but probably the most fun and action. someone with enough time nad lots of guts should play them.
the primary commonwealth job should be to cut japan off from their rubber. no rubber means no more tanks and no more infantry. if you can get them out of south east asia, they'll lose rubber and 4 luxury sources!

so, what do you want? please name 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. thanks

[ChrisiusMaximus]

1st choice commonwealth,

2ndNetherlands,

3rd China.

[Redboy]

My email is wswanson@telus.net

[Redboy]

1 US
2 Commonwealth
3 Netherlands

[smellymummy]

can i be china?

[sabrewolf]

well, everyone of you has a different preference, so i'll take the last one (netherlands). wasn't my first choice, but otherwise we'll be discussing the rest of the coming week

so, players are (in order of playing):
sabrewolf --> the orange of netherlands
redboy --> the stars and stripes of united states
smellymummy --> the red star and hammer of china
chrisiusmaximus --> the "sun-never-sets" in the enormous empire of the commonwealth



some time this weekend, redboy will be getting the save and you'll all recieve a PM with the new thread.

[smellymummy]

what was your first choice? I posted china because no one else seemed to want them ...

[sabrewolf]

i wasn't really sure what i wanted to play.
but it's ok like this. i don't really have time to play china, although it is tempting. i've got a very busy week coming up

i'll go with netherlands
