Or when you start to gain an upper hand in Europe

I normally turn it off, but when I started this game they were trying out a new interface and the option to disable it was missing. It's back again, so I will turn it off next time.

[Valatunda]

Please may I join? And if so can I be Japan?

I have not played this game before though. I had a little look at the rules, but I need something to connect to them.

Is playing by trial and error all right?

Sure. I started a game with all the first-time players (Hatori, Valatunda, etc.)

When it's your turn, you will receive an e-mail including all the info you need. It should come from Player@gamesbyemail.com, so check your junk mail folder and/or add it to your safe list.

Nice game gentlemen.

Hark, after the recent thrashings we've administered, you didn't want to let the Allies have their fun? :p

Please put me down for another round, if all would like to participate.

Hehehe, Mike enjoyed his heavy bombers at fullest. I considered making a training dummy for couple of turns, but then realized that Mike can now buy 3 heavy bombers per turn and I'll be soon only able to buy 2-3 infantrymen per turn. Very depressing

I estimated, that it would take 2 turns for allies to liberate continental Asia and possibly 2 more turns to capture Japan itself. That heavy bombers developed in early stage of game totally destroyed balance. I'm really curious what counter-strategy could be effective against them. Any ideas?

[Valatunda]

I know I am already involved with a game, but is it possible I could be involved in another?

[keatonatron]

Sure. I think the game I put you in never got off the ground. Sorry

I'll start two games next time. We need 2 or 3 more players for the second game -- Mike, Hark, Kagemaru, Lego, do any of you want to play two games? If not, it'll end up just being Valatunda and me, 1 on 1...

[Mike Cash]

Put me down for another, if you like.

[Kagemaru]

And I too thank you.

[Hark]

I'm available for any game(s).

[keatonatron]

I'm right in the middle of moving right now, so I'll start the next game in a day or two. You guys can start thinking up strategies to help with your A&A addiction. :p

I was thinking... if we got enough people involved, It'd be fun to split everyone into 2-person teams and do a 2 vs 2 ladder tournament.

[Hark]

Great idea! But we need a 1st prize

[Kagemaru]

Glory and world domination not enough to blow your hair back Hark? :p

Shouldn't you be more worried about a last-place prize? Because that's all you can hope to get!!

Zing!
