Thanks for the rematch, many of us will watch with interest.

Kuni I think Moon needs to give you a time out.

Kuni we agree. I too hope Rambo will reconsider and stay. We all can grow tired of a game from time to time. Take a break and come back Rambo.

Kuni, I dont think you have to worry about it. I believe Rambo has withdrawn from the Z-league. I checked it today and that's what it said. As for a house rule that no gays can play of course that is wrong. But your language and illustrations are also out of line or over the top.

Great read. I look forward to the rematch.

Always such a great read when you guys put on your show :cool:

Great read guys......

If more experienced players could answer this question. SHould the allies attack Denmark on the first turn if the axis does not? I am playing a game in which I am the allies and did attack Denmark on Turn one when the axis didnt. My thinking was that it deprived the axis of the plunder and also the experience for his ships. But was it foolish in that it put back the USA readiness?

I took a look and under standings there were 14 players listed. Kuni was #8.

If someone would be so kind to answer a rookie question - where are the house rules located for teh Z-league? Thanks.

Thanks for the explaination. It's easy to foget that there are always new people trying to break into this game. (like me ) I would love more details on the Rome gambit so I can try it out on Oak in our next game. Thanks

I think its historically acurate that Poland fights to the bitter end. Yes they didnt have much to fight with in comparison to the Germans. Yes the major powers of the day wanted Poland to submit to the Nazi's for the sake of what they thought would bring Peace. But Poland was not going to let the Nazi's take Poland without a fight. They seem to have understood the Nazi's better than the British or Russians and certainly better than the French. I quote from William Manchester's The Last Lion. "Their government (Polish government) and high command had left Warsaw for Rumania, leaving orders to fight to the bitter end. The Poles did; fuled by patriotic fervor, they barricaded streets with streetcars, stopping Reichenau's tanks, his infantry was forced into the ugliest and most dangerous close combat - house to house, room by room. By that myterious process which telegrahs news throughout a country, even after its communications system has been destroyed, all Poland knew what was happening in Warsaw, and thousands of Poles folloed its example. Guderian plunged deep though the Polish rear to Brest-Litovsk, but when he tried to storm the town's ancient citadel, he found and obsolete Renault tank had been jammed, and welded, into the doorway. Warsaw, starving, lacking water, pounded around the clock by Nazi planes and artillery, finally capitulated ten days after the Russian invasion. Pockets of resistance fought on, though the last major stronghold, 17,000 men in Kock, did not lay down their arms until October 7. Menwhile, 100,000 Polish soldiers and pilots had escaped to Rumania and made their way to England, where they would fight in Free Polish battalions beside the British, French and later, the Americans; Polish destoryers and submarines reached the Orkneys and joined the Royal Navy." end quote. I would make a counter claim that the maker of the game should not have Poland surrender until all its units are destoryed. Forget just taking Warsaw, but that Poland does not surrender until all units are destroyed. That would seem to be a more historically acuate protrayal. And perhaps a unit can retreat to England via Rumania. Since 100,000 Poles fled to fight another day.

I'm new to SC and learning. Would like to join up. Fordiplomacy@msn.com Curry

I just bought the game and I have the same question. Why the bidding? How is it done? Thanks
