Each player has one turn every 24 hour period beginning at 12:01AM EST each day. Use your time to plan your turns wisely, communicating with other players through PM or even in front of everyone here in the Game Thread. You can talk all the smack you like in the Game Thread (as long as you live up to Dakka's wider rules) but PLEASE keep it at the end of your post so that the next player can copy and paste the current game situation as easily as possible. ALWAYS begin your posts with a narrative describing what you're doing that turn. I would strongly recommend posting your moves/reinforcements in green and the faction you're attacking in red. Feel free to check if each others' turns are legal. We're all learning together here. Please be patient. Something I did not foresee is bound to come up. In this game, the theaters of war will have no special rules but I will still give them names to reflect the 40k setting.

This is very good but please see my corrections further down in that thread. For example, if Nids attack only one taregt they can reinforce themselves by one only even though they have done two points of damage. So Kraken should currently be at 16 rather than 17 in this game. I understand there has been some confusion regarding "EST," which stands for Eastern Standard Time. Most simply this just means New York time. Dakka will allow you to set your time to this if it helps you keep track. If you prefer tot keep your Dakka clock at your local time, you can still pretty easily calculate the EST. I'd rather not be relied on to post at one minute past midnight every turn.

Right I'll go edit my post. Sorry

No problem, VScott. What a furious first turn by the way. Just a reminder to those who have not posted: if you miss a turn, you've forfeited it entirely (i.e., no "late moves" will be accepted). So get your post up in the next seventeen hours. In other news, I'd love to know what kind of back room deals are going on right now. Good luck to all!

So it was 06:01 in the morning in the Spanish time, not 18:01. My bad, I didn't calculate it properly.

Youre too slow.

We move in shadows Or 7 minutes to be precise.

I know lucky for you.. New move now shown. Also stop looking bewildered destroy the imperials!

Shaman wrote:I know lucky for you.. New move now shown. Also stop looking bewildered destroy the imperials!

How did you get to Armageddon with M=1 ??

SM are M=2, CSM are not.

I finished editing the possible moves (for the last time, I hope!) Link found here.

Argh! I'll wait for the silliness to be over.

I'm confused did I do something wrong?

Epsilon where I started to Alpha is one move no?

If its wrong I'll just forfeit my turn and people can continue..

What is 1hadhq's quote by shaman about?

Looking through the thread, I see world eaters in three different places?

No, it seems what you did was right. You were on Epsilon, but moved to Delta to attack the Raven Guard. Due to posting difficulties with timing, you were unable to do that, and changed your move to Alpha, and attacked the Raven Guard there instead, a legal move.

First you went from E to D. This was unsuccessful, you changed from E to A.

We're all good, let the game continue!

Just fixed that up, pretend he didn't quote it.

Thanx night watch.

Edit: Nevermind. I see Nightwatch already handled this superbly. This is the kind of self-modding I was hoping for. Good job all! Nightwatch, I will post your possible move summary in the Game Thread OP when I get home from work.
