Version 1.3 is the most up to date, right?

As I recall, you were quite instrumental in the development of the scenario from version 1.0 to 1.3 - through your comments (by the way, a belated thanks). An improved version 2.0R fixing all remaining bugs was released in June 2000.

If you have version 1.3 installed, you can use a patch to upgrade to 2.0R located here:

Okay, I've got the most up-to-date version. I'll play my turn and post it tomorrow.

The sequence of players is

Axis -> Independents -> Allies -> Minor Axis -> Soviets -> Minor Allies -> Axis

I'm going to go ahead and go with the allies.

any special rules I should use? Double movement points for example? What difficultly should I start it at?

[klesh]

None that I know of.... Kob?

Double movement points for example?

Not usually, I would suggest against it.

What difficultly should I start it at?

Calvin, calvin, calvin... had you read the Henrik & FMK PBEM guide... you wouldn't have this question.

No special rules - just the standard. Definitely no double movement.

There is a recommended diffculty level. the words 'recommended' will be in brackets next to the choice of levels when you start (use network game not hotseat).

Would you prefer I start the game (Sovets is actually the first player), don't move anything and then post it here?


p.s. FMK - are you following my other game? They seem to be ganging up on me. Would you concentrate on research and defence or attack?

"London Examiner, Sept 5th
"The New Fuhrer"
by John Freeman,

The German leader Adolf Hitler passed away from the sudden shock that Germany was actually winning a war for a change, his right-hand man, lackey, and third on the German hierarchy scale: Rudolf Hess, former Deupty Fuhrer, was sworn in as the new Fuhrer of the Third Reich.

Fuhrer Hess had this speech to make when he was sworn in as the new fuhrer:

"The National Socialist Party has progressed far from its humble beginnings. It is a tragedy in the deepest sense of the word that the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler passed away before his time. Germany and the world has suffered a tremendous loss. It is my duty and moral obligation as a German to continue the policies of my predecessor. If our will is strong enough, we shall not fail! For Germany, sieg heil!"

The crowd then ignited in such a way that you'd think they were trained. Wasting no time implimenting "the policies of [his] predecessor," Fuhrer Hess quickly declared war on Holland and Amsterdam has been occupied.

Some other lunatic named Herman Goering had this to comment:
"We are maintaining a non-agression peace state with the Soviets. We wish to maintain this as long as possible and discourage any paranoia the Soviets may have, just because occupying Moscow is one of the conditions for victory doesn't mean we have to have a big war about it anytime soon..."

Perhaps it is no great surprise that this Goering chap was passed up for the role as supreme dictator-for-life.

Dark times lay ahead for this continent, very dark times..."

The Third Reich has completed its first turn.

The Independent troops fortify in there cities, vowing to keep there independence for the remainder of the war.

Colonel Kobichov, spokeman of the Soviet Armed Forces gave a brief press release today. He said, "Don't mess with us."

[Scott F]

Wait... what's the order again?
