I'd love to take part!! When do you plan on beginning (so I know when I have to have the rules read by)?

Welcome lobster boy.

Don't try and read the rules just yet - you'll only get depressed

Once I have enough interest to set up a forum (which at this rate won't take much time) then there will be a guide to learning how to play, and there will be a few weeks to get orientated.

It's not necessary that everyone knows all the rules, it's only necessary that I do.... well most of them anyway

The aim is that I do the rule keeping and the book keeping and all the boring stuff, and you guys just make the decisions and strategies and plans.

Wait...is this game Third Reich from Avalon Hill, but w/the entire war modelled?

joegrundman · 02-25-08, 06:20 AM

Yes it is - you know it?

Torvald Von Mansee · 02-25-08, 05:07 PM

I have it!! Advanced Third Reich, to be specific. Never played it, but at least I can save some money on printing out the core rules.

I don't suppose our individual countries will be able to negotiate their own alliances, will they? :hmm:

I had that game years ago, but I don't know what happened to it. It could be in storage (along with most of our stuff until we move). Haven't played it in years, but I might catch on faster than I thought.
