Game about to start - it's a race to see if CL82 can get me his langrab name before Dogdeacon accepts. Once he does it's game on.

Pretty basic rules: Random territories with 3 armies on each to start. Card trade in based on symbols, 2 extra armies on owned territory. 1 fortification at the end of the turn any to any provided an owned path exists. Pretty much the most basic it gets. Not close to my favorite choices, but good for new players as the game takes a little longer and gives you and idea how and where to play.

What are your favorite rules?

Depends on what game I'm looking for. If I want a quick game, I usually start a game that's placed armies, 2,4,6,8,10,12... with continent values increasing w/ 9 not on territory.
 
Sorry, I haven't been checking the thread. Should have PM'd me. I signed up under my handle. Put me in for round 2
 
Okay, the game is on and my first turn was nearly disastrous. Wah wah wah wah. (Come closer, I will bite your leg off).
 
Check the continent values in your rules J. Australia/South America are 2. Africa 3. Europe/NA 5. Asia 7.

You are correct - I had clicked on another game where they are different. Thanks
 
So when we place our armies down can we only put all 3 down in the same location? I cant put 2 here and 1 there?
 
I am going to take all 24 hours.

I just accidentally added an army somewhere.

You can place however you want (on your own territory, of course).

You can spread them around, make sure the drop down says place 1 army at a time and click different territories.
 
I'm so happy I've found a site outside of the CR board that I can mindlessly refresh like a rat in a skinner box waiting for something to happen.

You know you can hit the realtime tab and you don't have to refresh?
 
I'm going to mimic my strategy after the Swiss, and not be involved in any conflicts. So if you all would not attack me...that would be greeeeat.

I'm kind of surprised you haven't joined another game yet....

Tried to open invite by clicking on it and nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?

I don't get the multiple game mindset. So any one game is too boring or slow therefore I must play more games? You don't detect any flaw in that logic ;)

Try looking on the left side of the screen. I think the same thing happened to me and it just opens up on another part of the screen.
 
Someone can invite you - not sure how.

A word of warning - these f---ers are deliberate. Takes them forever and a day to decide to make a move.

Some of us are more hasty.

Thanks, just tried but still nothing.

PM'd jleeves but Dog said he's offline for a while. If someone else can invite me again, I'll give it another shot.

Yes, and you are dead and I am hanging on, hoping to make at least one final gesture. The time it takes for people to get to the game when it is their turn makes it excruciating at times. On the other hand, all-out attack when it is your turn at the start of games turns out to not be the smartest move. Especially when the dice are rigged and you get slaughtered.

Well, bigger games just take a long time and I can only play for a little while per night so 24 hour times makes sense. I come home to 2 or 3 games that need a turn played, then I can do a real time game. Although, I think I'm over the top of the curve and starting to get tired of it.

Invite me again, please. I can see the page but can't join....or I'm an idiot. Perhaps both.

This time it's because we started. I will absolutely make sure and invite you for the next game and I'll send a PM.
