Link is this one:
https://discord.gg/uXqrDbb

You do not need a client, discord can run in your browser. You will have to create a (free) account though.

So you guys can decide if you want to try it or not.

Lictuel setting it up has been a godsend for me I have never learnt so much so quickly with such quick exchange of information
Plus with the way the servers work it means for easy and effective cordoning off of channels for each specific user and I also imagine it will hasten response times of us all talking, coordinating and exchanging significantly

The next 5 turns will be interesting, no doubt.

I'm sorry guys, I read both sides of the AAR. I will put myself in timeout now ;-P


Oh, now that I get to read the Axis thread, you decide to do a full disclosure.


It's fine, there was no real advice given, so no harm done.

Please note we are still updating the AAR - it is a bigger job than even I realised going back to pull all the details out! I will post here when it is complete to our half of turn 13 - please do keep reading until then. Also comments and reactions are welcome, so do post there!

I will post further sections that are complete, but not in the right sequence to post in the AAR yet, up to the game dropbox as text and picture files. So by tomorrow you will also be able to see almost all sections there if not in the forums itself.

These guys didn't need advice, least of all my 2 cents worth ;-)

Yes, a very difficult setting for the soviet team. Typically the +1 bonus would have helped you a lot around moscow right now.

Is that not full blizzard? The sign up thread said mild blizzard but when the Soviet team set up the file and sent it to us it had reduced blizzard crossed out! (See our AAR comments on that!)

Actually you may be right. I think now it is full with the X in the reduced blizzard box.

inspite of what the signup thread said it is full blizzard. (Our agents believe Soviet agents interfered with the Geneva oversight committee on that one.)

Hope the RL issue is a good one rather than bad one. Did not know Sardaukar is out, I hope similarly for good reasons rather than bad ones. I have been saving up my best SS Fremen warriors jokes so they will be there when returns.

EDIT: In terms of AAR we will hold it open until they do.

Sorry Dinglir.


I think an explanation is in order!

The explanation should be self evident. The former management actually spent admin points to build the damn things and now I want you to waste bombers getting rid of them for me.

And the possible new player received a complete and unvarnished briefing. He indicated that he wasn't into lost causes.

And now on with the show.

Unfortunately two U2-VS factories were evacuated to Dubna - right in to the clutches of advancing Axis forces. I am sure when STAVKA faces the stern faces of EwaldvonKleist and Dinglir this will be explained as a "fat finger" mistake.

No, it wasn't a fat finger. I only did two because I didn't have enough railcap left. I'll send you the rest later.
