World at War game 18

[Witt]

@Gargantua glad to have you play with us . Have missed you !

[Witt]

Guys, Do you think 8 players might suffice ?

[Elrood]

@Witt This game can even be played with two, so yes!

[Elrood]

@redrum since you are a developer and know your way around the engine… is there any reason not to upgrade to the latest Alpha Version?

see: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/

The stable version creates more and more issues imho:

• no automatic forum posting
• in NML the auto roll for Victory bonds fails eventually (in NML mod)

So, if there is no reasonable argument against it… I suggest we all update, if not already done by some.

@Witt I’m waiting to hear back from Victory. After he replies we’ll know how many players there will be.

[redrum]

@Elrood Generally speaking any pre-release is not tested as much as stable so could have issues but I’m not aware of any. The biggest challenge is you would have to have everyone move to the same pre-release version which could cause confusion if they have other games using stable or a different pre-release version.

So here are the players:
captain walker
dawgoneit
Elrood
Entek
Gargantua
Karl
redrum
victory first
Witt

@Entek Your pick!

[VictoryFirst]

@captainwalker Thanks for the invitation. Awesome that I can take part in this.

Before I get to pick, what nations are in this game considered to be beginner-friendly? It will be my first time.

[captainwalker]

@VictoryFirst The Japanese powers are probably the most difficult to play. When it’s your turn to choose I can give you my opinion …we’ll have to see what’s left to pick from.

[Entek]

@captainwalker I’ll go USA

[Entek]

@Karl7 your pick

[Karl7]

@Entek

[captainwalker]

@Karl7 it’s @Gargantua choice…you’re after him

[captainwalker]

@Karl7 You’re probably good with that…Garg will probably pick Germany
