HOF V4 - Totalize

[Bowsling]

Sorry for disappearing on you guys so suddenly. Stuff really sneaks up in a hurry. If you don't mind taking this Lanzelot, that'd be great - I think my other PBEMs are more than enough for me ATM..

 

[Lanzelot]

Don't worry, Bowsling. We are glad that nothing happened to you and that you are back! (It's always a bit "scary" when someone disappears. I always start worrying: did he perhaps have an accident, a serious illness, etc.? For example no one knows what happened to civ_steve. He had been running the GOTM competition as moderator for years, and suddenly he was gone without a word and hasn't been seen for several month now )

Perfect timing for Operation Southern Cross!!!

 

[aksully]

for clarification....is CH or Lanz playing Germany going forward? Oh...read the post...to Lanz!

Uhmm...no thanks Bartender...I've had too many Shirley Temples tonight. Call me a cab

 

[Lanzelot]

Ahem, I'm playing the Minor Axis, not?! (At least that's what I thought...)

I can take Germany for a turn once in a while, but playing two nations completely would be beyond my current Civ-capacity. (In particular Germany is a complicated position to play and takes lot's of time. It always gave me hours of headaches - especially when RickFGS was playing the Russians...)

It'll take the better part of this evening to get familiar with the situation, so please bear with me. But in the long run I would prefer if we can find another dedicated player to take over Germany!

 

[Jureil]

That would be fine Lanz, any kind of help is welcome.

Welcome back Bowsling glad to have you back! I knew you would come through we all have real life creep up on us.

Have a great week guys!

[Lanzelot]

Few questions:
- What does the iron do? (That's new from V3.)
- Do bombers have lethal land bombard? Which units do? (If I remember correctly, the heavy artillery does?!)

And suggestions for next version:
- I think the bombard factor of Battleships needs to be beefed up. It doesn't really make sense, if a little field artillery can damage a Rifle Army, but the big guns of 2 Battleships can't...
- "Kreigsmarine" is spelled "Kriegsmarine"
- Koln and Konigsberg are spelled Köln and Königsberg

Nice turn Lanz, I made a few minor mistakes on my last Russian turn and you took full advantage of them...

Good Show

Thanks again for helping us out on this

 

[Jureil]

Hey guys I have been sick the last few days and when I got home late from work last night I did not even fire up my computer.

So I am going to do the turn tonight, I still feel like sheet but I can take my time and do the turn now so look for the turn report later tonight or in the morning.

Thanks
Jureil

 

[aksully]

Yeah it is always going around. I had it for 14 days before I was back to normal! Drown yourself in chicken soup.....and gin!

 

[Bowsling]

The iron gets captured by a unit and then returned to Berlin for gold and maybe some VPs. That is, if you can get units in and out of Narvik in the first place; the Brits did a good job on the roads near there.

So Bow are you back into the game? That would certainly ease the burden with you back with Germany, CH with Japan, and Lanz taking over the Minor Allies! What say you?

 

[Bowsling]

Dunno about that yet... I'll get back to you at the end of the month, when football season is over!
