Status: offline 		Anyone interested in a random game of Bombur1930 mod? Say 6 sides? or 5? Xlarge map or XX large map?

I noted several problems with the mod, for example 3 Japanese tanks appear as Italian production not Japanese, 2 German aircraft does not appear due to problems with listing them a french aircraft appears as the KI-48.

Also as a note few things can upgrade.

Also Germany has no aircraft carrier capable fighters, probably true of Italy and the Soviets as well. Ohh and the french.

As to the french aircraft it has a descriptor for the KI-48, don't know how to change that and haven't tested to see if Japan gets the KI-48.

Status: offline 		Have not seen this game before...been busy. What is the concept. Does it start in 1930 or some later year...I have plenty of time to play since I am retired but I do have problems seeing as I only have one good eye and reading a lot of text hurts after a while as only one eye can be used to read and it gets tired quickly. What nations are involved and what kind of distribution of players....I am playing in GDW#11 as the Japanese against China and the USA (same player). I prefer playing via dropbox as my email is limited.

Each year each country is given that years research. It covers the late 20's to 1950 as I recall. It is designed to be used with random games. So set up and distribution would be random, we would have to agree on how that would work out.

As long as you are the maker of the game, and the opponenet has all the graphics required, I don´t think they need to download anything....

Yes, they would need the bombur mod 2 (the 1930 version), but not the modifications made by the first player starting the game.

Status: offline 		If we start to early most nations won't have tanks. Don't think US gets tanks till 37 or 38.

Infantry does not upgrade. Level 1 does not upgrade to level 2 and so on. Only Cavalry upgrades. Just so you know you get level 2 at 1940. Not sure when level 3 appears haven't played past 1941.

Status: offline 		So how about we start Jan 1937 with the following rules.

Each Country starts with 3 Research facilities, believe me you are going to want them just to make new units.

No combat for one year, 12 turns.

Do we want oceans? With all land the Countries tend to be one big blob with Oceans they tend to have 2 of the Countries scattered around. I like Naval combat but if we want similar start points we may need to forgo that.

I will start it since my modified copy has the known SFT problems fixed, There may be more I tend to play the Germans so only see enemy forces though I did a 1940 start and checked for known problems with 6 of the nations.

Further I doubled production, Capitol city does 20k, the other cities do 10k And factories do 16k.

A warning Staff costs 1000 per one as well as research. SO building staff will be a bear. Captured cities of other nations allow research and supply to be produced at twice the normal cost. The raw and oil are set a little higher then normal so initially that should not be a problem. But again raising them to level 2 and 3 is gonna hurt.

Do we want to wait for more or start with 4?

Status: offline 		Ok I just made a game, it has Britain, Germany, Japan and France. And they go in that order.

All 4 countries are complete no outlays.

The British and Japanese have a small front and the Germans and French have a small front.

I prefer the Germans

As I recall it costs PP to declare war, Can't remember how much want to say 20 but really can't remember.

Status: offline 		If you are not a member I can invite you...my email is larryburstyn@commspeed.net....After that you can invite others into other games and even invite your other computers (home, work, etc.,) and share files with them and only those invited into a folder can see what is in that folder...they cannot see other folders or what is in them. You get a certain amount of memory when you accept and more when others accept your invites. Don't remember exactly the amount or you can PURCHASE some for business and take a tax deduction if you use it for business (one of my sisters did that).

But you need an email address so you can send the invite.

British
Italian
German
Soviet

The Soviet and British have limited contact and the Italian and Germans have limited contact.

Can you make the folder and I add the saved file? I don't understand how to start the drop box file?
