For the teamplay game. The only thing different from any other scenario would be that you send files to groups instead of individuals, and move once every two days. It's January 1940 and there's little to do right away. We had a player dropout and are all hoping someone will pick this up so we can continue.

There are rumblings that a new player has emerged to play Churchill(we'll worry about Eisenhower later), but the gang is still waiting on a turn. If there is someone with the kindness and decency to play this game, for however long they can, this group comprised of the 3 Axis and Pacific allied leader will be grateful.

This is our last hope. The chance that the Germans won't expect us to send in a small team of saboteurs at this late date. Those 2,000 men on Kheros are going to die next Wednesday morning... unless someone climbs that cliff.

I'll give it a shot - I've been on the pummeling end of this type of game. Please send me what you'd like to happen :)

I'm curious. Are you still looking for a player?

Currently there are 7 allies, though some have already expressed no desire to 'lead' any scenario. An occasion may arise where they request involvement, but beyond perhaps some advise or questions to their teammates, they are for the most part, spectators.

Currently there are only 4 Axis teammates. I will play the lead role in the Pacific, but have been selected to lead the invasion of Norway. The intensity of the game, along with the time limit, make it so that, so far anyway, no request for a command has been denied.

So it's easy to get involved. You'll just start receiving the pbls from your opponents and the END_OF turns from your teammates. Also I'll send you rules regarding the game and some that are specific to naval combat. Generally if you can sell your teammates the plan -pretty easy if we don't already have one or are busy, you get the command, provided you can handle the pace. So far as many commands have been turned down as accepted.

OK drop me a line. Is there somewhere I can read a bit more about what this is all about?

I would love to have Jason (Raver) as my co-commander on the Eastern Front. We could have a contest to see who can cause more
Axis Losses

Well I was going to put him on the Axis because we have 3 less guys, but if that's what he wants to do...that's what it's all about. We have enough. Perhaps you can forward him some docs as I'm still wrestling with hardware issues. Please include Teamplay, Naval, and inter-scenario consequence if you still have them all. Thanks.

BTW -Patrick likes this scenario 'Russian War' and I'm inclined to agree with him as it offers divisional control. The only problem is that it ends too early to finish the war. Perhaps upon Germany's destruction you can commence a Berlin scenario, though this is likely years away.

Well I dont mind either way really. If you need more germans I'm happy to do that, although I do enjoy comrade foggy's company too.

The Axis command structure is somewhat 'hazy'(can't say Foggy). Albert is somewhat inexperienced and is supposed to take over the western front once Desert is victorious in France. I would hope Desert will still command troops, perhaps in the Mediterranean. Patrick Novicki will take over in 'the Russian War' and will likely seek help. Albert mentioned a desire to perhaps get involved in Russia, I guess leaving Desert to command the west. All 3 scenarios are huge and would likely benefit from teamplay. I will control the Pacific, but have several commands that will be available as well. The only guarantee is that there will be less players to fill the roles on the Axis side. So please just decide decisively and let us know.

I would say he should go to the Axis - I did'nt realize we had so many "allies"!

Like I posted above, they're not exactly 'active'. You have Eduardo who commanded the Poles, and doing a good job, was having trouble with either the pace or the rules regarding. Perhaps he'd ask for a command, though no time soon I'd imagine. Then there's a guy Chiang(?) who's english is not very good, is just following. As is Jo Lima, who stepped back from taking over WITW though came in with some moves at a critical time. He knows this game as well as anyone else playing. I think he could be amenable to taking a command eventually. Plus sapper32, who I know is very good at this game. Steve(Choowee) is in the Pacific, that is all I know.
