Europe 1750...

[PolarisGL]

I am against that suggestion, Mao, and I may leave if we choose to do it.

[General_BT]

Mao... I've put 40+ hours into this... no.

And its not that hard... you count the numbers add smokestacks and take it times .3 ...

Battle you just contact me with what troops you have, where it is, and what you're going to do with them.

building things is easy as well...

[BasV]

It's pretty much like an ordinary story thread, only with regulated army sizes and battle outcomes. It looks complex, but it's not too hard to grasp.

[Mao]

Do we have everyone reporting in? If so, great. How long is a turn in real time? One day?

[General_BT]

One turn is 2 months game time, andI'm leaning to two days real time, so people have plenty of time to report in their stuff...

[Bearcat]

Like Bas said we can make this a story/dip like thread. All we needo do is mix all the tactical information with a back story. Like for example part oft he stroy will say that the Swedes and Danes have clashed in Norway. BT will do his little mod thing and than the stroy wil be detailed battle scenes, aftermath, etc.

[General_BT]

France hasn't reported in, neither has the Ottoman Empire...
For this first turn, how about we ignore the colonial income, and start that the time the next turn starts (Wed.), that would simply everything alot for everyone... those who are slightly in debt due to lack of colonies, can slide... (ie. Holland)

PORTUGAL DEPLOYMENTS (since no one is now playing them)
Fleet: 3 heavy 5 light off Lisbon
Standing army: 50,000 regulars

I Corps: 10,000 in Lisbon
II Corps: 10,000 in Oporto
III Corps 10,000 in Almeida
IV Corps: 10,000 inElvas
V Corps: 10,000 in LIsbon

Budget: $360... $108 for military
$30.5 left for spending
15,000 regulars to be raised

[Mao]

Will you be able to keep up with the map BT? If not, we may need to recruit another mapmaker seperate from the GM (No, don't look at me, I can't make maps for sh*t). Just curious. It's a big job to do a map that detailed.

[General_BT]

As Poland seems not to be in:

POLAND:
85,000 troops standing
I Corps: 20,000 at Minsk
II Corps: 25,000 at Warsaw
III Corps: 10,000 at Niemerov
IV Corps: 10,000 at Lublin
V Corps: 10,000 at Posen
VI Corps: 10,000 at Krakow

BUdget: $1440 (divided in two because of Polish governmental confusion at this time)
$720
Military: $216
Left: $131
raising 65,000 regulars

I don't think I'll be able to do all three maps... maybe two, but not three... I'd be glad if someone took the Americas...

Make it two months every one day, if people miss out it's not going to be horrible, just have BT do their budgets as he sees most advantegous. If they're at war then the attacker might have to wait, but if that situation arrises we can deal with it.

[Mao]

hold up...a turn everyday? Can BT handle that? Making up the maps, calculations, etc. every day?

[General_BT]

No, not everyday... that would be ungodly...

Thats why I suggested two days...

[hacksaw]

I have talked to BT and if the ottoman player doesnt show up ill take his spot. im formulating a budget.
