HOF Version 3 - "Test Run"

[Knutis]

If it hadn't been for these pesky MA militias destroying all the roads I might have tolerated your presence Sully. However, as you can't seem to behave I guess I have to limit MA territory to the Western hemisphere. If I haven't calculated to wrong, Northern China should fall pretty quick now to. Of course I welcome you to prove me wrong

Raining blood on Pearl Harbor this turn. 5 bombers shot down by flak hurts. Good to have naval bombardment to keep the US ships in drydock. Don't know how long I can keep doing that though...

And I guess I should be more carefull with where my I-boats end their turn in the future..



edit:
Oh and by the way, being a nice neighbour just isn't fashionable nowadays

 

[aksully]

Arexander....are you back from the Holidays???

Sully

 

[Arexander]

Yes, I'm back but I have three essays to be written for next week and I have time only this weekend. I will search for some time to play my turn and not let you wait for too long.

Just wish those teachers wouldn't pile up all the essays for one week and give the orders for them on Friday.

 

[aksully]

I was thinking about throwing this out for all to consider about playing time.....we all have lives with committments that come up.Arexander is right to put his studies first or for anyone else to do what they have to do. And its the right thing to do.

I'd like to suggest that we consider an option to keep the game moving at a reasonable pace...

I suggest that if the turn save comes to a person and they will not be able to play the turn say within 48 hours (open to discuss) that we let one of our Allies play it instead. Afterall this is still just a Play Test for Eric's evaluation for his latest changes.

For myself...I have family due in for a visit this week with perhaps a very busy two weeks of traveling about the UK & Europe. So when it looks like I will be away I plan to ask TG to play my Minor Allies until I am available to play.

So maybe everyone could consider doing the same if they face time constraits or committments that will prevent them from playing their turn in a timely manner?

Anyhow I open it up for all to comment on. And Arexander..hope the essays are all Masterpieces!
Cheers!

[Knutis]

Arexander, when you write the war-report you should also mention which units you use to kill the different allied units

for example: sub sinks US carrier or Inf Div kills Blizzard

 

[Arexander]

Sorry. I'm not used to report my playing to the enemy.

Hey All...In keeping with keeping things moving...I am going to be away for a few days travelling and have no time to play my turn unfortunately So I have asked TG to do this turn for me in an effort to keep the game going at a decent pace. I'll be sure to blame him if when I get back I find China has fallen!!!! Actually knowing TG..he'll have made my position stronger!!! Back in a few...

Cheers!

There were a couple blizzards around. Do I attack them? Will they attack me? I am a bit confused.

 

[Arexander]

You can attack them and they can attack you. They can't attack your cities though, but they can pillage effectively as I have noticed in my war against Russia.

[eric_A]

You can attack them and they can attack you. They can't attack your cities though, but they can pillage effectively as I have noticed in my war against Russia.

Arexander:
No blizzards can't pillage, but partisans can.

 

[Arexander]

So THAT's why I've lost so many roads... Got.To.Kill.All.Blizzards.Covering.Partisans.

I can't access my own computer for a while as my dad is cleaning it up from anything not-wanted. I'll play my turn as soon as I can.

 

[Arexander]

I'm sorry, but my school is taking a large part of my time now and I need to drop out. I hope you'll get a replacement soon so you can continue playing this. Again I apologize for taking so long.
