what countrys are open?
 
Depends on the game. The game that is most likely to start soon is the Tuesday European one, 20:00CET. We have 4 for that now. The link for the game is in the OP. We are still working on getting enough players for the NA games, and Sunday.

So that is pretty much take you pick. Though, I would say that anyone playing Japan or Germany should familiarize themselves with the set up beforehand, since it is quite a bit different.

I think we are going to limit these games to six for the sake of speed and internet function, but at this time none of these games are full.
 
Ok, so in the European Tuesday game it looks like we have Koonz, Durruti, Sch, and myself for sure. CS, said he might play too according to Sch. We really just need one more to hit 6, which Sch wants.
 
Iam in as Germany is that is fine. And also id really hope that we start 1 Nov cause i cant the 1 okt ;-)
 
That is great guys. I will round up some more players by next Sunday, and you are right Koonz October 1st would be bad :D. I meant November 1st.

Here is a small upgrade patch: Latest patch for XTPS 1.2: EIR- Goering Patch 1.2 . That goes over the main mod patch to fix some minor issues.

Yes that would be good. I think. Depends on the teams I guess. If Geo and MG want to play, it might not be a good idea for all three of us end up on one side of the fence, since we know each other well.

So, tentatively yes, but it would be very useful if you played the scenario through as Japan, since the whole thing is substantially different, eventwise. Note, we allow either Japan or the SU to DOW at Khalkin Ghol, if that happens.
 
There will be a minor fix patch before the game starts.
 
Well for the Sunday game I have the following confirmations:

Axis:
Germany = Koonz
Italy = Cueball
Japan = BPScool

Allies:
France/USA = Bairdlander
Soviet Union =
United Kingdom =

I think I will likely be Italy. Mighty G, will either be UK or Soviet Union. Other people who are have voiced an interest: Juspedude, Geofactor, possibly ISD. So that is really the maximum, since I would really prefer to play with 6 and not 8. So at this point I would say no because I don't really like big games because additional players mean more problems with crashes and so on.

That said, I will be starting a new regular NA Tuesday session, and I am going to ask Silverzerg and The Wretched one to play. And I am thinking in that case that you would be Italy, at best. Reason being is those guys are really experienced, so it would be better to have a strong Allied side (me and someone else, I guess against them).
 
Whats rules are we gonna use?

Cheers!

I will be posting an update tweak patch to the mod tomorrow. A few things wanted to be fixed, so I fixed them.

For example, in the extremely infrequent cases where the United Kingdom tries to force Norewegian neutrality in the "with us or against us" event system, and Sweden moves right, and then Sweden joins the war against the Soviet Union during the Winter War, and Sweden becomes "anti-bolshevik", it was possible for Germany to ally Sweden, and bring itself to war with the Soviet Union without breaking its non_aggression pact with the USSR. Like that series of events unlikely (probability 1:1000 or more) events ever likely to happen again...
