I’ve never used the live feature, but we could try to nail down a time for all of us if you talk us through it.
.

All right all, I will have my Russian turn posted by tomorrow at the latest.

hello guys,

it has been almost 2 months and you still have not declared war!

you should meet up to play in the lobby, even if not all team members can make it, just one player from each side is all that is needed. if not, one team is going to be very upset with this game going to a decision.

kind regards,

if antholin has not taken turn by tomorrow, I or Stal will.  I could be available tuesday evening…

I know it’s way early on in the game… but I have to call it boys.

How does each side plead?

Well it is like this.  They havent faced quite the bad luck we did in our first round gamet it hasnt been very good for them.  WHen looking at the game, consider that UK is about to go and will declare war on Japan.  We will be collecting at least 70more IPCs than them by the end of the turn and have over 750IPCs more unit value.  We control the Atlantic with the Allies and the US JUST entered the war.  It is a luck win, but it is a win for us I believe,  Crazy tourney.  I was so excited for it, and have now seen crazy luck dictate both games early.  I hope to get a good game in at some point.

Well fought my worthy opponents.  If you have any interest in continuing the game for fun or perhaps challange us to a rematch we will be willing!

Thanks Garg for setting up the tourney.

p.s.  Is there any info the 2nd Edition placement and rules being edited in soon?

My gut and secret observers are also saying allies.  But I want to hear from the AXIS.  If they are willing to submit it’s lost, they can resign with a dignity that won’t soon be forgotten (And continue the game seperately).
