Hi guys,

I forgot that Java was held by Japan and not Dutch and forgot to take during CM, leaving for NCM. I put the edit in…I don’t see how the results of the battle against the DD could affect this, but if you are not OK with the edit, can you pls move the TT + Inf to Caroline Is. / z35?

A nice dicing for us in Finland…
Appreciate you guys giving us a bit of time for a teammate to double check my NCM’s. They’ll post an all clear in a bit.

By the way, the Anzac Inf on the TT off Java is not real. It won’t let you remove a loaded land unit during edit for some reason. If for some reason you don’t kill the TT, we will edit him away on Anzac 4.

I need to make a ruling on this game.

But it’s so early… could the leaders of each respective team PM me their plans for victory, and concerns?

I’m not saying this is the ruling -yet- but I am leaning towards an allied Victor.

As requested, Ancients will send plan to Garg. In the meantime, Russia is confirmed.

i feel ya JWW, the problem is, this game is moving at a pace that would reach completion in about 6 months…  :-(

@Boldfresh:

i feel ya JWW, the problem is, this game is moving at a pace that would reach completion in about 6 months…  :-(

I think one problem was that we had to wait a few weeks as the previous game was given quite an extension and thus this game was held up for some time. Now it seems, due to the previous game’s extension, this game has a shorter window to reach a conclusion. Perhaps I am mistaken?

These arbitrary deadlines are getting ridiculous. I said back in our second round game that 2 months was too short of a time for a game like this. That game was moving at a good clip, but we were still rushing at the end. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that teams are more equally matched now. I repeat what I said then; The deadline should be extended across the board to 10 weeks.

i feel ya JWW, the problem is, this game is moving at a pace that would reach completion in about 6 months…  :-(

I think one problem was that we had to wait a few weeks as the previous game was given quite an extension and thus this game was held up for some time. Now it seems, due to the previous game’s extension, this game has a shorter window to reach a conclusion. Perhaps I am mistaken?

These arbitrary deadlines are getting ridiculous. I said back in our second round game that 2 months was too short of a time for a game like this. That game was moving at a good clip, but we were still rushing at the end. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that teams are more equally matched now. I repeat what I said then; The deadline should be extended across the board to 10 weeks.

Have no problem with that.
