Rob once moves are in, i believe they are final.
Otherwise people can change them around.
Yeah so just leave them as they are in my opinion.
So putting up the map will be the next move i think.

I haven't got any problems with the map. Not sure if you're meant to tell the players where their retreat choices are, in case the player misses something you don't want to be giving hints

Otherwise, all present and correct - thanks

Ok i have a question.

The german army moved from bel to ruh.
The brit army in Hol attacked bel.

And at the same time teh french army in Pic attacked Bel with the backing support of the Russian navy.

Now how do the rules deal with that?
I am confused with the way none of the troops in that region did not move at all.

don't ask me how, but realpolitik claims both the french and german armies moving to ruh 'bounced'. this seems to have prevented the other coastal armies moving since they couldn't beat the germans. maybe the fact the russian navy was nuked may have helped? i just put the moves in...

OK, the French army in Burgundy also tried to move to Ruhr, so there was a standoff there with the German army in Belgium and both armies stayed where they are.

The Russian fleet was attacked and dislodged, which cut support to the French army, so there was a standoff between it and the British army. Therefore the German army in Belgium was not dislodged, as no army captured Belgium.

Clear??

Hmmm...My position is looking worse every second...ah well, let's see how long I can hold out...

@Korn!!! Goddamn! Where did your naval units in the North Sea and the Ionian come from? I really haven't been paying attention...

Really? I'll resend then...

Robnark · Post by **Robnark** » Tue May 28, 2002 11:56 am

the next move? friday will be fine by me, but i've no idea how much backstabbing there has to be betwixt turns, so if you want it earlier (or indeed, later), just yell.
