(you) managed to be stupid with most of your armies. My stupidity, on the other hand, arrived in waves and wasn't wiped out all at once. :D

I had been playing HOI2 1.3 exclusively for a few days and up to when we started our session. I just massed my troops on the border and attacked you from as many directions as I could in order to get (nonexistent) bonusses. Not very smart but our huge battles were fun.

Problem with my manpower though was that in my rich demense provinces I raise armies of 35-45K and those armies are halved by the time they reach the front, making my functional manpower a lot lower then what the game is telling us.

Cyrus welcome to the game and I'll fire up ICQ to see if I can help you. 122-996-214.
 
Cyrus, sorry about disappearing yesterday, my modem is now entirely dead except when I'm actually talking to my ISP. Apparently the phone line does something to fix whatever problem it has. :confused: Maybe I'll have to call some free number and stay on the line all day to play. :mad: My ISP's tech reps do not strike me as an enormously competent bunch, but they did give me some advice I'll try tonight. Hope that works, or I may not be able to play this weekend.

Incidentally, are we playing at all this week? Thanksgiving is a silly holiday, to be sure, but I know how attached you colonials are to your quaint native customs. And now Lurken is disappearing as well.
 
Perheps we shall cancel this week session? Since too many of us cannot play, and since it is thanksgiving which many of the colonials :p tend to like.
 
Hello folks,

Welcome Cyrus and King Josiah I do hope we will see you both for our next session.

Speaking of our next session it would seem we have a bit of a dilemma. We have only progressed a mere ten years in the past two sessions. We need to march on and put years under our belts. I do recall stating that we would play on, no matter what. But this is a group affair and I will let the whole decide. Therefore, cast your vote as to whether we should play on and if you will be there. I Look forward to hearing from you. I will post the most recent weekly update as soon as I can. I am truly sorry about the delay as I have been over loaded with work, as a matter of fact I am writing this from work.

My Vote:
  • I say play on, I will be there

I will be there provided my modem works. And now that Trav has reminded me, I agree with our old oath of playing come hell or high water. Game on!
 
Im in with the new beta and everything, stupid RAR. Besides that I hope I can actually play online, Ive never had a problem before with anyother online game. Its ok that yay disapeared king I was getting rather frustraded and gave up for the night. Im good now.

Do it.
 
Sure, if people want to play...then game on! I will probably join up later on, though.
 
Yeah so I downloaded the map and took a look at it for alittle bit...Whys everyone attacking byzantium? They dont seem much of a threat to you guys. Hey blackeye lets talk about some land exchange. Lol and why did burgundy take Cairo?
 
I'm confused what you're talking about Trav. When was there ever any suggestion that we would stop? I will be there, if my modem will work.
 
If somebody could catch me on ICQ that would be great.I have it on almost all of the time.Oh and I have plans set out for what I am to do.

PS:Just a hint to you players though I'm not a major expansionist, I'm more defend the territory I have and deal in diplomacy to get a foot hold and screw everybody up lol.
 
Good to have a player like you Josh in Bohemia...the careful one, who in the end screws everyone up in Europe.
 
Weekly Game Update


We played at Below Normal for most of the game with 8 players. We played from June 27 1335 to September 19 1340. Newest game MAP is up. I’ve purged and zipped the most recent game save which can be downloaded from here.

The players this session:
  • Traveler - King of Italy
  • Prime - King of Burgundy
  • Ear - King of Hungary
  • KoM - King of Norway
  • cheech - King of France
  • Dominus - King of England modem trouble
  • Blackeye - Emperor of Byzantium
  • Lurken - King of Castille

We had 4 game stops. I’ll list the causes for each stop:
  • Stopped to fix strange event with Lurken’s Kingdom
  • Dom CTD, modem trouble
  • Dom CTD, modem trouble
  • Reached posted end time, consensus was to stop.

A huge war ensued this session. Gonna have to wait for the players to write AARs to read about it. A pretty good session, but we aren’t making enough time. We have some interested players let’s hope they show up and add to the diplomatic intrigue of the game.

New Session Time
  • Saturday Morning (0600PST/0900EST/1400GMT/1500CET)

Open realms:
  • Kingdom of Jerusalem
  • Kingdom of Bohemia
  • Rus

Traveler I need to talk to you if you will get on.Lurken helped me earlier to see if it works and it doesn't :( .I'm willing to be on the computer until tomorrow if I have to aslong as I get to PLAY.But I really need to speak with you traveler.
 
King Josiah,

I am on ICQ now. If KoM or Dom or even Prime are out there lurking around that could help with the router/firewall issues I would be thankful. I can host a game to ensure everything is working right. Hope to hear from you.
