Balance of Power Alt-1919: (Signups now closed, card making commences)

[Shatari]

I'll go with Canada. Maybe the American player won't try to conquer it this time.

 

[Pixel]

We can all hope so.

I'm feeling a challenge.

Give me the Soviet Union.

By the way, be sure to read the BoP 1935 analysis post once it's up. Will have material for other hosts.

Almost missed you. There you are.

 

[Thane Delphi]

Are the pictures on the OP loading for everyone else or is it just my bad internet?

 

[Pixel]

There are no pictures in the OP.

The Americas are done on the map, as is Europe. Africa and Asia remain.

 

[Thane Delphi]

Hmm, what are in those spoilers then? Only two have anything in them.

 

[Shatari]

The rest will be added in later.

@Pop: Don't forget to put me in as Canada, eh?

 

[Pixel]

There you are.

 

[Shatari]

There you are.

Big thanks, eh? Well, I best be working on my Canadian accent, eh? Too bad the hosers at Babelfish took down their old Canadian to American translator, eh?

 

[RoboSenshi]

I'll have Italy. I'm still a beginner but I think I can handle it.

 

[Thane Delphi]

So how does this game work? I read all the info that was put up. But I'm still stumped. Feel free to ignore my noob question.

 

[RoboSenshi]

You know what scratch that, I change my mind, give me Spain please.

 

[Pixel]

Wait, why am I not on the player-list?

... I'm busy, okay? You're there now.

So how does this game work? I read all the info that was put up. But I'm still stumped. Feel free to ignore my noob question.

I'm still working on the rules and stuff. Once I put the rules and the country card up, it'll be pretty comprehensible. Feel free to ask questions, I'm sure the BoP veterans here or myself could answer them for you. For now, there is no gameplay info up, so your confusion is fine

You know what scratch that, I change my mind, give me Spain please.

Spain it is.

 

[Nord Champion]

I'll stick with what I know: Sweden.

 

[Grimmend]

Why are we all fighting for the Regional Powers?  The Major Powers are going to feel neglected. (minus France and Russia)

 

[Shatari]

I'm co-hosting in another game, so I'm sticking with a small power.

So how does this game work? I read all the info that was put up. But I'm still stumped. Feel free to ignore my noob question.

I'll write up a summary in a few, but I've got a few chores to do first. I'll be back once they're done, eh?

 

[Nord Champion]

Too late, man.

Yep just noticed it xD

I'd hate to take a Major Power and **** up, but I'll take the Italian Empire if no one has called that (which, from my knowledge, no one has).

Because we all like underdogs (or we're scared of a challenge)

 

[Pixel]

I should say the weakest major power is Italy, and the strongest major power is the UK or German Federation.

The weakest regional power is Chile or Argentina, the strongest regional power is Turkey.

The Soviet Union is in a civil war and is arguably the second weakest great power, but once that war ends they'll be very powerful.

 

[Nord Champion]

I shall still keep my choice of Italy, then

Once I get a few more Bops under my belt I'll start picking major powers in games but for now it's best to stick with the smaller countries. Especially for a beginner.
