I'd like to play, but as a few others have said; when exactly?

If I can, I'd like to be Romania.

I would quite like to give it a bash as Great Britain, If it's not too much trouble please.

**JimBob** · 02-28-2006, 21:04

I'd like to, and has been said before "when exactly", if there are no massive conflicts I'd give it a go as Republican Spain.

We seem to have a good amount of players in the same general part of the world, this is good. My "play time" is in the evenings during the week or on the weekends preferably in the mornings. If there is a large difference in time zones then weekends are best as most can accommodate those days some way (morning for some, evening for others).

It's best to stick with the latest official patch to accommodate the most folks. 1.3b isn't exactly "official" and must be installed manually after extracting a .rar file. For this reason I vote for 1.3a and the fact if we have a full boat with all majors being played by humans AI enhancements really don't matter.

MP campaigns are huge investments in time, think about this especially if you want to play a major.

I have no preference except I'd rather not play Germany. I'd like to play Canada unless a major needs to be filled then I'll jump in.

I will try to play, but time zones may be a major problem with some of you US guys, plus im a total noob lol but i can only learn :D

I would perfer that we start after March 8, which is when mid terms end, although I could devote a few hours Saturday, or Friday night.

I've got a good common household rule even though I won't be participating. No Unholy Alliances.

This means that major factions such as the USSR, GERMANY, GREAT BRITAIN, JAPAN, ITALY, China, and the USA cannot deviate from what their original alliances were. Especially if the US or USSR decide to join Germany.

**discovery1** · 03-01-2006, 04:09

China? China was in bed with Germany for a while. They definetly shouldn't be forced into joining the Allies.

Well, the coded events will dictate how most major factions will react, except the USA, really. The minor factions, I think, should have more leeway for forming alliances - we'll all need to pick sides eventually.

Going after Disco's suggestion, the 8th is next Wednesday, which gives us all enough time to prepare and make plans with one another as well as getting the other chores we're all obligated to do out of the way.

Are there any objections for beginning the game on the 8th?

I'll jot down everyone else who said they were interested. If there's overflow, I'll make a waiting list. I guess most people are like me in that they're not sure which faction they'll use - no one seems to want to be the behemoths. I'm happy this has found so much support. Let's keep the discussion rolling.
