@Grinchveld you are next.

protip:
mechanized inf . can be used to transport materials, troops etc, just like trucks. As long as you do it in the non-combat phase

Thanks for taking it seriously, everybody. Things could easily stray away when 7 strangers play a slow complicated turn based game online. You all keep the game humming along steadily. Good job.
@surfer is up next

@TigerTankIncinerator Have you tried to play online? Im ready for a game if you still want to

@surfer I think you need a destroyer to be able to hit submarines (and spot them for airplanes) , but they can submerge after one turn. When you develop improved destroyers they are more powerful. No submerge, no first strike!

@dawgoneit I moved (Edit) your train from Calcutta to Rangoon. I assume you didnt realize you had a train there. Trains are not military units, but they are powerful in transporting other units up to five moves a turn.

@Caesar1 every building needs an engineer in the territory you want to place it. to build a barracks you need an engineer and 2 material in the same territory. research center needs the same. a railroad only needs an engineer

I Haven’t played for a few years, but I consider myself a good player nonetheless. I have played Total World War once, and Im looking for someone who would be interested to try it with me again.

Im eager to play a lot during the new years holiday, but I play approximately one turn a day afterwards. There are few players around. If you want to play something else, give me a suggestion

@Guderian1 dont add the dragoon. Im still learning. Its more educational if I get punished for my mistakes.

Please prioritize TWW over your next turn here. Its 7 people. if they dont get to take their turn within reasonable limit, they lose interest

There are 7 nations and I want everyone to pick one nation each. I roll 1 d100 for each player. the one with the highest picks nation first. the second highest picks second etc.

I have played the game once. I assume we are all noobs. Prioritize speed over perfection. with 7 players, its important that everyone takes their turn as soon as possible, otherwise it might take weeks before your next move. If one player doesnt take a turn within 3 days, I encourage one of his teammates to take the turn for him.

Good luck!

@Guderian1 they upgraded after I did my buying phase… how annoying. Im doing it over

@Grinchveld hi. have you found anyone? whats the precise map name of the napoleon scenario?

@Avner we use 3.0
If you open the game notes in version 3.0 it says 2.7, so Im pretty sure they havent updated the rulebook

We use low luck - it is common and recommended for noobs because all the bonuses can make it hard to see the likely outcome of a battle

we use tech because its fun.

@Avner there are 2 CV, one moved in this time but I assume you can hit both

@questioneer https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.6.14633
if you have windows 64bit, which is the most common. download the installer for 64 bit. “TripleA_2.6+14633_windows-64bit.exe”

if you have windows 32bit it will notify you that its wrong and yo ucan download the other version

@Avner thats what happens when you take your turn under pressure instead of alone in peace

@Guderian1 download the installer, then run the installer

Here is the game manual in pdf. Its much better to read than having to scroll inside a java window. https://github.com/triplea-maps/total_world_war_manual/blob/master/TWW_lossy_new.pdf

@Grinchveld thank you ;) I wanted China the least of all, and Im very pleased with Japan.
China is prey of Japan. The game rules doesnt stray that much from A&A, but theres lots of minute details about terrain bonuses and unit bonuses. hills are good to defend, mountains are excellent to defend. alpine infantry are better in hills and mountains.
Thats the most important you need to know as china

@Avner Yes, I concur. Good game. I saw your potential only after you aborted the sealion attack. I will notify the admin

@dawgoneit we use 2.6.

@Caesar1 you have some units in subsaharan africa and some lone vessels in the south altlantic if you havent noticed

Cool! thanks @Avner . The pressure is on UK. The most powerful nation at the start of the game. A lot of pressure on someone who hasnt read the rules yet ;)

@Grinchveld Good to have you back. I encourage teammates to take the turn if the player goes more than 3 days without taking his turn. Its necessary to keep the pace when we are so many players.

If any of you have problems, download this version. It works without problems https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.6.14526 @dawgoneit

Always ask about important scrambling or OOL. But feel free to make reasonable desicions on their behalf instead of waiting for multiple respondents
