Onward blundering Allies - onward!

Well, I must admit to feeling a bit overwhelmed. The rules from Larry’s site help - make me realize I messed up with Mongolia, but live and learn. Again, it seems it won’t post the game automatically. So here it is with Italy up to bat.

I think you would enjoy the hell out of Firefly. We’ll have to set aside some time sometime to start watching.

Very good - trembling indeed! Thanks for the link to the rules - much appreciated. I have a proposal to complete and 2 grants to work on, so I doubt I’ll get much further tonight, but I may not be able to resist.

Had an error on the upload for some reason. So, here’s the saved game. No time for a nice quote, pizza is waiting!

Cool - thanks for the confirmation. I’ll redo my buy and get you a turn…maybe before dinner but no promises.

I’m now assuming it is because that Volgograd only has a production of 2…is that right? I don’t see any other major IC on a territory with a two…but I’ll look for your answer before I redo my purchase.

That’s fine - figured as much. So, since you have your ‘ears on’ next question: I thought to go a little crazy and do a factory upgradefor Volgograd…but I can’t seem to place it …am I missing something obvious?

So, I’m working on R1 with a question. Why can’t I move into Northwest Persia? It is Pro-Allies. I thought I would be able to move into it as a non-combat move…but no. So I reloaded the game to do it as a combat move, but still no. It doesn’t matter a whole lot, but I am curious. I’ll continue with my move regardless.

awesome, I’ll try to get it back to you tonight sometime - probably late.

The quotes are all from my favorite TV show ‘Firefly’ from which the avatar picture and name “Browncoat” come from. It’s a theme :)

Hey there,
I haven’t really read enough or figured anything out, but lets move forward. I’ll scramble 3 to 110 and none to 111. I wasn’t sure of the etiquette, but I knew I shouldn’t let the battles run for you. So, I’ve saved the game after the scramble and attached. Or, of course, you can do the scramble in your game if I didn’t save/upload properly.

Hey Rod,
Holy lateness. Sorry, its been a productive evening which hasn’t left much time for this. I’ve downloaded and looked and am afraid I need more time to answer.  I’d like to take some time and look at the board and figure out some thoughts on strategy that will inform my immediate decision on scrambling. I’ll be back to this tomorrow evening.

It is my pleasure….however, it is also my bedtime. So, the pressure is off for now. They really need a yawning emoticon.

It’s really quite unfair of me to rush you considering I’ll be several millennia (relatively speaking) in my move. Are the notes in the map file my best ‘crash course’ or is there a convenient downloadable rule-set I could get?

Found it! Downloading….

Not that you needed this update, but I was afraid you would spend time looking for it  instead of working on turn 1.

Sadly mine doesn’t have that under choose game - let me go looking for it to download…but don’t let that stop you from doing the first turn  :wink:

Ooops, missed that you mentioned it here…
so does " global 1940 Alpha 3" translate into “Big World 1942 v3 Rules”??
