To Franconicus:
Controling the speed isn't that hard. All the players have a cetain period of time, to be determined by me and the players, to react after I posted a new chapter. I will then post a new chapter within a predetermined timeframe. If someone hasn't mailed me his strategy within time, (s)he will be supposed to hesitate and not take any action

We will only start when I feel we could have an interesting game, that is when the right characters are taken. But I'm willing to wait untill after new year (it'll probably take so long anyway).

So Prussia is taken by Franconicus.

I simply loved Kraxis' Mansteins woes.He could've guessed that something like this was in the air as at the end their were some posts about setting up a seabattle between 2 groups.

To ColdKnight:
Sure you can be Russia

To all:
I'm just waiting for someone to request 'la douce' France and the Belgian bourgeoisie (the rich). Without them the game is just half as fun.
