@Martin @gamerman01 @Ragnell804 @VictoryFirst

Ragnell managed to get an email out to me asking if he could have photos of the board state sent to him. He would like to play but does not have conventional email access. He will not be available for an indeterminate amount of time but does not want to quit the tournament.

He’s asking if I or someone else can be a “ghost player” for him whereby he is sent photos of the board state, states which moves to make and progress the game in that way.

DM me or post here what you guys think? I don’t mind helping out to keep things moving. I’ve already sent him photos of the current board state of this game.

[The_Good_Captain]

I expect we might see him again in two months or so but no fixed date

[VictoryFirst]

@The_Good_Captain I assume that means Ragnell is doing OK, which is great! If he wants to continue playing in that way, then of course he should. Because of circumstantial limitations, it’s the best thing he can do.

Pro tip: if you go to Export>Export Gameboard Picture you can export a large PNG file of the entire map, with enough detail so that you can read everything.

Also, you can also send him a picture of the in-game history and the “Players” tab. Just in case you weren’t doing that already 👍

OOL? I believe the Russian sub can deep dive (submerge), in case it survives

42320 Classic Round 02 Germany - combat.tsvg

[The_Good_Captain]

@Martin I’ve sent a photo to ragnell.

Just a ‘heads up’ - a defending sub can withdraw from the zone after the first round of combat and before the attacker can retreat. There is no submerge in classic, 2nd edition

[The_Good_Captain]

@Martin he says to take the Russian units (russian sub and russian transport)
