I lost my ICQ a long time ago, but perhaps another old fogey has access?

Status: offline 		Now that is Old Skool!

Quick question on houserule "4. No unit may deliberately move forward into isolated status (defined as being more than 99 MPs from a railhead). Units that are isolated due to being surrounded may only move towards supply. The only exception to this rule is air-landed units which may move in any way."

Is the common sense interpretation this applies only in clear weather and disregards partisan attacks? Taken literally it would mean no forward movement after a partisan attack or weather change. It could also be interpreted to mean no retreat either, whole armies frozen. I can understand the point about no Lgrad falling on turn 6 and a broad front strategy for a multiplayer game. But surely it was not meant to power up the effects of weather and partisans.

If there is any more detailed cartography, say, around Lgrad, Moscow, Sgrad, or geological maps showing ground able to bear, say, 30 tonne vehicles - they would also be remembered. Purely for scientific curiosity of course.

But here is a very detailed map collection of the Soviet railway system: http://www.soldat.ru/files/4/10/137/ (very interesting site, with detailed rail maps, alsow shows where the railway is single/double/tripletracked).

Status: offline 		Done and ongoing. On a regular basis I will make a post on it when no one else has. Personally I will go more for the angle of someone who is interested in non-AI games but apprehensive taking on a whole one on their own. Or deputies or smaller commands like the Finns with a view to getting people in so they then get more involved. I was also going to ask if you could put it in your sigs?

Status: offline 		Ended turn 1 except for hitting the end turn button- just chatting about settings that can be adjusted. I guess there is no urgency from Soviets. From Shonyu's posts it looks like Shonyu only logs in between long gaps, and may have assumed by early March this team game was not happening? I guess also no one else here has ICQ anymore, or knows what it is

[Just checked Wikipedia to see if I have an IM client that can access ICQ - sadly not. But interestingly it said AOL had sold ICQ to a Russian company and may now be open to Russian intelligence.]

Only foreigners call us Russians. But nations are not important in the Soviet Union. There are only members of the proletariat and capitalists.
If you are a worker or peasent, the soviet KGB will not read your ICQ (whatever this is ) messages. If you are an evil capitalist, you should probably use other services.

Somebody should try whether Shonyu reacts to Punchcards or carrier pigeons

Bullets from NKVD execution squads are also very effective instant message clients?

On the 18th of June a Soviet border guard crossed into our territory, clearly the vanguard of a Soviet invasion. The Axis powers have discussed a moderate proportionate and calculated response to this Soviet agression - and decided on a multi-million man counter invasion of the Soviet Union.

Turn end file in Soviet dropbox (communications with Germany folder) - and no Soviets in our AAR.

Well, we should indeed send the NKVD to look for him.
So there seems to be space for another soviet player. Will you overetake Shonyus place for the time being Hortlund?

For others visiting this thread - if you are bored with playing the AI but daunted by taking on the commitment of a whole campaign yourself why not join us? There are vacancies in Axis and now in the Soviet team too.

Even wargamers have real lives so no worries. I think the Soviets literally arrived at the point that it was your turn!

Glad to see you Shonyu!
