I need to laminate me one of my maps so I can make fancy drawings with a dry erase marker or grease pencil.

Would it be too nerdy if I have Office Depot print me out a large map out of that?

It feels like it would be too nerdy...

Format for orders.

You can write orders however you like, as long as they are clearly expressed.

Your captains (i.e the umpire) will interpret them if necessary. (If I find something particularly difficult to handle I will give some guidance for the next turn.)

Please send orders to my DakkaDakka email address.

Not all orders received yet but I am processing the ones that have come in.

Please would players remember that they have to say where they are (city or ship) since this affects communications.

What this thread needs is some third-party war correspondents, who only get observed events to report on.

That would only work from a third party, too much information one way or another..... bleh

The London Times -- 2nd July 1941

From our Ostlandian correspondent in Bridport

On 1st July I was allowed to observe main fleet elements of the Imperial Ostlandian Navy leave Bridport. Wartime censorship prevents them being named and numbered, and no official information has been released about their mission, though clearly it is warlike.

Despite the impressive spectacle, the mood in the port was subdued and quietly determined. The ordinary people to whom I spoke fully support their nation's right to self defence and believe their navy can do the job for them. How long their morale will survive, if there should be a major defeat, cannot be said.

I hope this game will be a success and I will run another game in the same genre.

I already have an idea for a convoy defence game.

BTW it is time for players to send their orders for turn 3.

Turn 3 is postposted for a day to hopefully allow the eastern seaboard USA players to get their power back.

This saddens me greatly, as I, a representative of a neutral country, do always enjoy following a war not happening anywhere near me.

Not likely, we are one man, another computer and too many weeks of freedom short. I think this one done sunk.

Well last I heard KK's PC went awry and he had some problems with whatever he was using as a backup...
If we aren't continuing this then I am claiming victory

We will continue this weekend.

I have been tied up with preparations for Games Com.

Computer is still not fixed but I have a substitute.
