[Agent Griff]

So it's on?

Edit: So the negotiation phase is now over and the campaigning phase will begin?

 

[Vovolov]

You can negotiate as much as you want, but get your moves in before the 19th. 

 

[Mage246]

According to the rulebook I found (the link is in the previous topic), the initial positions are as follows:

Austria-
Army in Vienna, Army in Budapest, Fleet In Trieste

England-
Fleet in London, Fleet In Edinburgh, Army in Liverpool

France-
Army in Paris, Army in Marseilles, Fleet in Brest

Germany-
Army in Berlin, Army in Munich, Fleet in Kiel

Italy-
Army in Rome, Army in Venice, Fleet in Naples

Russia-
Army in Moscow, Fleet in Sevastopol, Army in Warsaw, Fleet in St. Petersburg (south cost)

Turkey-
Fleet in Ankara, Army in Constantinople, Army in Smyrna


We are using these dispositions, correct?

Also, will you be posting updated maps or should we be making our own?

I`ve got the map posted in the first post.

 

[Mage246]

Hmm so are we going to wait until the 19th no matter what, or will we move forward if everyone sends their moves in?

 

[Gculk]

Yeah, forward if all moves come in.

 

[Gculk]

Do we have to send orders in any particular notation, or can we just say, for example, "Army in X support fleet in Y moving into Z"?

If I can make sense of it, it is in proper notation.

 

[Trooper5445]

Can I request colors on Provinces that are assumed to be under a possession? Just for flavour?

 

[Gculk]

I'll make a shot at it for the next turn, sure.

Thanks. Another small request? Must an army be represented by a tank? This is 1901? Can't you get a little Infantry thing?

 

[Mage246]

Yeah, give Trooper infantry, the rest of us will get tanks 

 

[Trooper5445]

Yeah, give Trooper infantry, the rest of us will get tanks 

Heh the Turks didn't get tanks till around the 20's you backwards savages!

 

[Gculk]

Please, please, I am using Jdip.  Those are the icons that I am given.

I can try and use paint to color assumed control regions, but, no guarantees.

 

[Mage246]

Yeah, the French had tanks in WW2, they just didn't have a clue how to use them

Start a new game and chose either period for the unit set or simple. Or just go to the top under preferences and you can set it there.

The game starts in 1901.

 

[Mage246]

Says you, I'm playing in the year 2432.

 

[arbites_augmented]

And the French still don't have good tanks.

 

[Trooper5445]

But they have better rifles.

 

[Mage246]

Rifles < Tanks
