New GD 1938 game

[ironduke1955]

jld89 was interested in playing GD1938, and as there are no slots in current games, so we might as well start setting up game 15, if you can specify your preferred Nation we can assemble players and gauge the enthusiasm for starting a new game.



4 players

Germany/Italy/Japan
Soviet Union
France/UK
USA/China

5 players

Germany/Italy
Japan
Soviet Union
France/UK
USA/China

6 players

Germany/Italy
Japan
Soviet Union
France/UK
USA
China

Up to 7/8 players not sure if splitting the French and UK or Germans and Italy with seven players probably best to split France/UK, anyway the group can decide if it comes to that, time to think about this, as there will be no hurry to start.

[cpdeyoung]

I have never played the Japanese and would like to give them a try.

Chuck

[jld89]

I can play the Soviet Union or anything else I don't really mind.

[ironduke1955]

We have

Germany Ironduke
Italy Ironduke
Japan cpdeyoung
USSR jld89
France RufusTFirefly
UK RufusTFirefly
USA Larry
China Falco

[RufusTFirefly]

Here is another volunteer ready to take a beating and trying to land a punch if possible.

[ironduke1955]

I will go for USA or China or both.

[ironduke1955]

Larry is in opting for USA, still room for at least three more players, all are welcome no previous experience necessary.

[falco148]

I'll throw my hat into the ring. I'm still a newbee at this, having only played 3 or 4 pbem games but I'm keen!

[ironduke1955]

Hi Falco

Just need to pick a side. Choices are Germany/Italy France/UK or China. China may look the easiest but they are underpowered with low tech and the others have a lot more cool toys to play with. Also China starts at war with Japan, so you are straight into the cauldron.

[ironduke1955]

Just need one more player and we are good to go.

[falco148]

Actually I think I wouldn't mind being China. Don't mind not having lots of hi-tech and I think maybe being on the defensive will give me some good experience.....

[ironduke1955]

China it is, RufusTFirefly Germany/Italy UK/France decision time is here [:)]

[RufusTFirefly]

Difficult choice. Both options are really good ones.

GB/ France would be fine for me, as there had been previous games where I played GB/ France but games were not played to the end. And it would be intersting to compare game 14, where I am playing USA and might (perhaps) be allied with GB/ France with my own experiences when I play GB/ France and maybe USA might (perhaps) be allied with me.

Fish´n´chips with red vine will meet spaghetti and beer. Sounds horrible. Maybe we should try to get some pork from China and sake from Japan.

[ironduke1955]

Red Wine and Fish and chips Ughhhh Give me spaghetti and Red wine any day of the week.

I will leave it for a day if anyone is holding back and would like to play, then I will sit this one out, and read the AAR, Germany and Italy are available so if you are a new player and want to give GD1938 a try step forward.

[ironduke1955]

We have a full compliment I will open a dropbox. I have RufusTFirefly cpdeyoung and larry's e-mail address. A couple of question's for jld89 and Falco do you have Dropbox and can you e-mail me on tmain98560@aol.com so I can invite you to Dropbox.

[falco148]

Sent you pm Irondude.

[ironduke1955]

Yep thanks got it if you can e-mail me, I can use your e-mail address to invite you to the Dropbox Folder

Opened a AAR GD1938 Game 15 have received confirmation from cpdeyoung Larry and RufusTFirefly just waiting for e-mail addresses from jld89 and Falco

[falco148]

Hi guys....it appears I'm missing several of the necessary graphics that I need in order to play this. Specifically a few files that go by the name of

XX Century graphics. I get a pop-up notice informing me of this when I try to download the pbem file for the GD 1938 battle.

Any idea how I can go about getting these?

[ernieschwitz]

You need to install the scenario, in its latest version. You can get it from the scenariobank

[falco148]

Also, what's the procedure for naming files in this? I played my turn as Chinese and posted the file back into the dropbox but I didn't change the file name in any way. Should I have named the file as the next participating player, as is apparently the usual routine? Who is the next participating player?
