Btw Doc, I threw in the "doctor" references in for those who can recognize them. The "zero room" was no reflection upon your absenteeism, as those who are familiar with the reference will know.

It's going to be at least a month I'd guess before we start a new game. We're in mid-38 right now, so it's hardly endgame if you're interested in joining an existing game.
However, nobody else is in south america right now. Are you up for facing no direct human competition for a while?

Might be interested in playing a a country, but I need to know....
How many hours do you guys generally play at a time?
At what speed do you play?
What countries would you like filled?
Any and all answers would be appreciated. Appreciated even more if sent to dninot@yahoo.ca (I could just email one of you, but I dont know who to email really)

Usually at least 3-4 Hours.
We run at below normal/normal usually.
Countries are just about anything. I think I took the SU now =( I use to be Canada. So Take what you want.
Taken are UK, USA, USSR, Germany and Japan.
As for the war.
Alas, the Peace loving people of the Soviet Union were cast into a war with those whom it didn't want one with.
Naturally the people of Romania needed to Recognize the Soviet need for a bit more land, and so The Soviets pushed into there. The Advance was halted for a brief moment as the world DoW'd the poor poor Soviet People, whom proceeded to Maul Poland, beat down Turkey, and take Romania.
Poland was given a white peace to maintain a block between the Soviets and the ever Menacing German's. Turkey was punished for Challenging the Soviet Union and forcing war upon it's people. ( :rofl: I swear my troops weren't on it's border ready for when I DoW'd it)
Meanwhile Mongolia advanced slowly into Japanese territory (Without the eye of the SU upon it. The SU allowed the Japanese to push them back to Mongolian land without any concerns. It was when the advance began to hit Mongolian territory that the Soviets took an active concern, lending both Divisions and supplies to the Mongolian troops to ensure no further advances were made by the Puppet's. A further precaution of surrounding Manchukuo was taken incase any advances in Mongolia needed to be met with an Advance into A Puppet of the Aggressing power.
Naturally, Romanian will be allowed to keep it's independance, as soon as it realizes the need for a bit of land given to the Soviets. It's independance was brought about as an increasing Germany was recognized in it's protest, otherwise the people would have been taken under the Soviet Power.
ANd yes, basically lol, I'm avoiding war with Any Majors to make sure the game at least plays out well. In theory if I had DoW'd poland/Germany I might've been able to push into them, then again Germany is an increasing Number of Infantry as well, so.
Meanwhile, the Russian Bear has it's eyes on the Balkan's.

Should be a go for this weekend... barring the wife having the kid.
Ninot - play for 2-4 hours usually. Play on slow... like everyone who wants a stable game.
Countries vary from week to week as people are available... If you want a minor I'm sure they will be open... if you want to play a major you may have to sub or wait for the next round.

Don't see why not. I'm sure that all sides will vie for your alliance or neutrality. Give us your e-mail address so we can give you the server IP.
Well if Canada is open again like you said, I'd love to give that a shot,
However, I can't guarantee i'll be available yet :wacko:

haah I was Canada, so it's doing semi-ok or it was when I left it.Other than that I'll stay USSR I guess I think we lost our original USSR. His build strategy was interesting, so I've decided to keep it and see how it goes.
But it'll be interesting.
Ports open 2 hours from this posting. Post here if you're interested in joining. mid-38, and one might argue that there's a balanced 3-way game atm.
Dedicated server, so you need to post an e-mail to get an IP.

So although another 6 months passed, the only real action occured for the Soviet Union.
Peace was achieved with the people of Romania. In an skillful move Soviet Union diplomats kept the agreement with Germany, at a the same time wiped allowed the Romanian army to destroy itself AND allowed passage through into the Yugoslavia. There are a few other points, however for now the Soviet Union needs to keep those a secret.
Then in a move to startle the world, Argentina skillfully was moved into the Commintern, allowed for Soviet power to be projected into South America. Although nothing has happened so far, one can only assume that this South American ally will be most useful to the Soviet Union.
As well, we picked up a Finnish Player near the end of the game, and plans were diplomatically laid for the Incorporation of the Finnish people into the Grand Soviet Alliance. Unfortunately a few Democratic idiots broke into the Alliance talks halting them for a few months until an alternative method of allying could be planned.
Although in theory the Soviet Union could have just Annexed both of them and taken them for himself, he really really wanted someone to be able to hatch evil schemes with. :rofl: He was lonely.
Meanwhile a militaristic Japan in the East threatens the Soviet Borders, at least in number's and more men are being allocated there as a result. Peace shall last, (As is always the hope with the Soviet people), for as long as the Japanese will it. Men were also sent to Mongolia to ensure no "Puppets" Would decide to push that way as well.
Back in Europe, Yugoslavia is still a hostile threat to the SU, and so far all Peace diplomat's have been refused. Naturally the Soviet bear is unhappy with that turn of events and has begun to build up the tide which will force a peace upon the people of Yugoslavia. (Naturally peace will continue to be offered until such time that it is accepted).
The largest upset of the Game was the unannounced, unwarned invasion of Hungary by the militaristic Germany. This led to a Soviet Declaration of Independance for all remaining Balkan Countries, at least in regards to a possible German Invasion. It was weighed for a while about declaring a concern for Hungary's independance, but in the end it was decided to leave it be.
Meanwhile a few Diplomatic agreements with both the Allies and the Axis made the Soviet Union feel quite a bit more secure. At the same time it wonder's if either of these will honour their agreements.
The Year is now 1939, Feb. The Russian bear ponder's it's next moves, should it force into more of the Asian border? Retreat into a period of Diplomatic Isolation? Attempt to expand it's power in the Balkans? Should it continue it's focus on Infantry, relying as always on the backs of Russian Peasents, or more towards a more Motorized, Armored type position?
Or should it begin to make a Moscow Super Fortress with level 10 AA and Forts, 100% Infrastruture, and an ungodly amount of men?
Only time will Tell what this poor confused Russian bear will do about the Honey pots.
Other than all that. It wasn't bad. Although the remake times ended up destroying the game. But we did pick up a few new people off V-Net eventually and it didn't go so badly. I Was very happy to achieve an ally, simply because for all my wars and such I wasn't really doing that much. Nor did I have anyone to talk to. So Company is always nice. Beyond that it also leveled the playing Fields a bit. (For a few brief attempts it was 3v3v3).
Although I'm curious as to what Germany is going to do, and I suspect Japan won't honour the traditional NAP. :rofl: So I'm hoping the Allies will give the German's a bit of a run for their money, since I'm more than a wee bit nervous about facing a HUman Player for the first time. Even if it is just Bras

England finds itself in a pickle currently. Its partners are outgunned by the Russians massively right now. The germans continue a buildup but haven't made a major buildup. The Russians are definitely under a watchful eye. ..... so close under the microscope that the americans joined the trans-atlantic alliance.... seing the threats that face the world just as the rest of the world prepares for all-out war. So many have already been conquered. Can the allies restore freedom to the world....? The old English leader sees war on the horizon. Germany will need to expand to counter the soviet threat... and how will the allies contain the Red Giant while not giving Hitler a free reign to the East.....
Surely the Americans with their massive fleet can keep the UK safe, but will they risk their blood for Sweden? or Luxomburg?... where do we draw the line.
War is coming.... war is coming...

In Canadian news:
It's winter in Canada.
Alfie Moore of Toronto led the Chicago Blackhawks to a Stanley Cup over the Toronto Maple Leafs, stunning the nation.
The Toronto Argonauts of the CFL won the Grey Cup.
After consulting with his dead mother, Prime Minister MacKenzie King spoke with Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin and agreed to terms on a small trade of goods, in hopes to mend relations, postpone war as much as possible, and guarantee a Canadian-Soviet hockey rivalry in the future.

Some folks don't seem to understand the difference between living up to the letter of agreements and outright breaking them. Is there any blurriness about the phrase "Bessarabia + one and that's it"? You can lie, cheat, and dishonour agreements, but don't mince words. Germany accepted Soviet promises to go no further, and then it was too late. The Constanta Agreement conceeded all traditional claims upon Romania and more. After this breach, Germany shall not be party to appeasement! Nations of the world, let us not accept another Wallachia!

Thankfully, the Argentine and Finnish flirtations with Comintern were flashes in the pan. The despots were deposed.

How would the SU annex Argentinia?

Anybody hear from Menkukuo (aka Inner Mongolia) recently? It was annexed by a soviet puppet. The Legion Condor fought actions against the marauding Mongols in this territory and their attempts at further advances.
Thankfully, a full 70 National Guard divisions have been recruited and trained to defend the main Chinese polity. Any future land war in asia would not be one-sided.
Uh-huh. Meantimes, Monaco is apparently menacing France. And don't get me started on the Swiss...pedal2000 said:
pedal2000 said:
Who is threatening who? Hungary was a bid to save the Romanians. If the Hungarians had accepted peace when it was offered... All that manpower... Despite Germany's best efforts, eastern europe is in a weaker position to defend against the east. With Turkey, Afghanistan, and much of Wallachia gone, and the Polish and Romanian armies decimated by the soviets, Germany is the only power in a position to stop their westward expansion.

The axis [needs] 3 players. With an expansionist SU on all fronts (nordic, eastern europe, mid-east, china (anyone seen inner mongolia recently?), and Siberia, we can't give the SU a weak front.
Pedal might be lonely, but he can manage all that control. The game can slow down if he needs to micromanage all his fronts. But Japan and Italy are not credible when (semi-)controlled by the AI.
If Clint doesn't return the US to isolationism, Japan is in trouble. If anything at all happens in the med, Italy is in trouble. Human players are needed.
Axis gets Guevara or one more player. I will try to set-up my notebook to take it as a last resort.
Overall, a decent game. The no-shows and repeated crashes were unfortunate. Folks should test MP player connections before joining the game if at all possible. If anybody is having difficulty, post or PM or e-mail me for help.
What do you need covered? If I can play Germany in the next game, I would be glad to finish out this one in Italy or Japan.
I need a dedicated Italy player for the duration of this game. You can have full latitude as to how to play it. Send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll make sure you get the IP before the game.
I'll also send you a copy of the save for you to take a peak around in from Italy's perspective at the end of the last game. I know that you're a "historic" guy, so you might want to take a look before you commit. The commies are kind of strong right now.
