decourcy2 -> first turn sorta done (9/25/2017 3:50:33 PM)
Okay, I did my first turn as Japan against Wargmr, I ended up with 6 pages of notes. Is that a lot? Or does only six pages show that I am doomed to defeat? My wife saw the notes and said this was the worst handwriting she had ever seen, and why did I keep writing HA-x repeatedly? I emerged from my man cave around 9.00pm last night blearly eyed and feverish. Andrea sat me on the couch, gave me an adult beverage and turned on kids cartoons, which is all my brain could handle. This morning Wargmr emails me and says "So, did you put in the beta patch?" AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I downloaded it but forgot to install. Will this work if he runs it with the beta and I have now installed it? Or should I start again?

Allies, DDB-C scen 28. I have a detalied checklist for the first turn. 31-page Word document. Times New Roman, 10-point font size. LOVE the game, HATE the first turn.

BillBrown -> RE: first turn sorta done (9/25/2017 7:06:55 PM)
To be honest, I don't think it makes any difference. The exe difference should only kick in when you actually run the turn.

Lowpe -> RE: first turn sorta done (9/25/2017 7:25:37 PM)
I would give it a try. I have started at least 3 pbem with very minimal first turns as Japan. Less than 1/2 hour devoted to them. It is a long game, and really there is only a few things you need to change if you plan on no Mersing and fairly standard Pearl attack.

decourcy2 -> RE: first turn sorta done (9/25/2017 8:27:41 PM)
Heresy! By thought and by deed. I spent maybe 10-12 hours working on the first turn, I hope this works.

I worked at setting up a Japanese first turn against the AI. I spend at least 8 days on it( about 100 hours or so ) and there were many, many pages of notes. And, I never did get it done.

Who is this marvelous Andrea woman and where can I find one like her? [:D] I'm pretty sure I put in a week of evenings in my first attempt at Japan. Finally one incredible day you push a button and watch it all go. And then suddenly remember that one critical thing you forgot to do.

I can do the 1st turn in about 2 hours but that is with TEN years of practice (with many trials and tribulations).

John 3rd -> RE: first turn sorta done (9/26/2017 2:04:44 AM)
It SHOULD be OK to attach the Beta and then run Turn One.

But courtesy of the Red Dwarf theme song I know what the title of such an AAR would be... Fun, fun, fun, .....in the sun, sun, sun. [:D] Cheers.

decourcy2 -> RE: first turn sorta done (9/27/2017 1:30:45 PM)
Thanks for the advice and cartoons everyone, the game seems to be playing okay.
