Languish Universalis - Game thread

Senor Blue, you don't know me very well if you think I'd ragequit a game.

[Habbaku]

If grumbler thinks that the guy consistently waking up at 6:30 on Sundays the most likely to do so, however, then we're in good shape. 

[Habbaku]

Liep said he will play this Sun, but no idea if wants/interested in continuing past that.

Yeah, we need to find out if he just wants to jump into a session or make this an ongoing thing.  I don't think anyone actually expects Liep to jump in permanently, but he'd certainly be welcome if he thinks he can consistently make the times.

If he cannot, however, I think we should press on with six and a 1492 start with the usual powers : Spain, Portugal, France, England, Ottomans and Austria.  I'm open to suggestion about start date if anyone prefers an earlier one, though and I don't think the powers are necessarily locked in.

FFS 6:30 am isn't early enough for you!!!!

[Habbaku]

Careful, Kat, you'll confuse the Euros.

What is this Normandy game of which you speak?

As Ulmont posted, it's The Battle for Normandy.

If you're interested, do let me know.  It'd be fun to play a team campaign with a competent teammate.

Looks Purdy.

Looks Purdy.

It is rather well-done, artistically.  Of course, that's somewhat irrelevant since it achieves what few monster games do--it's playable.  The rules do take a bit of reading and re-reading, not to mention trial and error, but they are rather slender and the concepts aren't difficult at all.  In addition, if taught, they're very easy to learn.

Yeah just dl'd the pdf showing the invasion example from GMT

[Berkut]

I would be willing to get another BfN team game going. Lord knows the current one is crawling along slowly enough these days.

[Liep]

I'd be a better sub if we could push the start time a few hours (kat, you can just stay up, no?). And I really don't know my working times on sundays more than a week ahead, so can't make it permanent.

The guys over here are just getting their copies now so I didn't think you'd be up and running already. Sometimes I forget our continents differ. If it's cyberboard and the rules digestable I'm certainly up for a game. Will check it out.

[Tamas]

  Is there any point to playing ze Germans, victory conditions-wise, or it's just for the heck of being pwned?

[Delirium]

Well, it's149 bucks to preorder so let's hope they got the victory conditions balanced up or else it's a pretty expensive masochist toy.

You don't think I chose your name by chance, do you?
