2011-06-29 02:26:42 - Guns of August: trying some different options this time
2011-06-29 02:26:55 - Guns of August: I did flat rate spoils, but unlimited reinforcements
2011-06-29 02:27:45 - Guns of August: vFlat Rate groups are worth 4 for red, 6 for green, 8 for blue and 10 for mixed
2011-06-29 02:28:35 - Guns of August: there are a lot of neutrals on this map
2011-06-29 02:29:03 - Guns of August: look at the key in the top right of the map to see the bonuses
2011-06-29 02:37:18 - Daddy Big Guns: what do you mean flat rate groups?
2011-06-29 02:39:26 - Guns of August: the amount of troops you get for turning in spoils is the same the whole game. The only variation depends on the colors you trade in
2011-06-29 02:40:47 - Daddy Big Guns: Not sure I know what is part of the board and what is a key
2011-06-29 02:40:59 - Daddy Big Guns: k
2011-06-29 02:42:26 - Guns of August: for holding 3 wolf heads you get 3 bonus troops
2011-06-29 02:42:43 - Daddy Big Guns: The "Insets" at the bottom of the screen, is that part of the board or are those things keys?
2011-06-29 02:42:53 - Guns of August: make that 1 bonus troop for the wolf heads
2011-06-29 02:43:06 - Guns of August: part of the board
2011-06-29 02:43:19 - Guns of August: basically it is a zoom in on the alps and on the city of rome
2011-06-29 02:43:54 - Guns of August: the red green and white dots on the alps correspond to the red green and white dots on the alps inset
2011-06-29 02:44:19 - Guns of August: rome is in the center of italy where the red and white symbol is
2011-06-29 02:44:41 - Guns of August: for holding 4 ships you get 4 bonus troops
2011-06-29 02:45:00 - Guns of August: for holding 5 legions you get 2 bonus troops
2011-06-29 02:45:26 - Guns of August: for holding 1 city you get 1 bonus troop (I'm guessing 1 bonus troop for each city held)
2011-06-29 02:45:52 - Daddy Big Guns: So do you cross over them like they aren't where the dots are or do you cross over them from the middle of the map, this is F'n me up
2011-06-29 02:53:37 - Guns of August: think of the inset as a zoom in on the map. The territories and troops are where they are on the map, but since they are so small you need a closer view to see what is going on.
2011-06-29 02:54:15 - Guns of August: Remember those insets on the Axis and Allies board in case the board got too crowded? Think of it like that
2011-06-29 12:52:22 - mdaniele5: Sorry for the delay boys...
2011-06-29 12:52:31 - mdaniele5: this map is very different
2011-06-29 13:00:42 - mdaniele5: If I don't win this one my Italian ancestors might turn over in their grave, ;)
2011-06-29 14:08:35 - Guns of August: Yeah. It should be interesting
2011-06-29 14:40:43 - Daddy Big Guns: These dice suck
2011-06-29 14:43:27 - Daddy Big Guns: Okay, I'm completely lost on this board.
2011-06-30 11:39:33 - Daddy Big Guns: Did I piss someone off?
2011-06-30 16:37:04 - Mark XXIII: OK... why don't we try to not let Hartman get 10 guys next turn.
2011-06-30 17:10:32 - Daddy Big Guns: I'm with you Mark. That F'r had one guy in my area, dropped in 3 troops and F'd my world up. I had to spend everything that next turn just tog get that territory back. At the same time, he had half the board by then.
2011-07-01 04:33:10 - Mark XXIII: F M R
2011-07-01 13:30:43 - Daddy Big Guns: This game will end and I will never have gotten a bonus troop. This board blows.
2011-07-01 14:17:03 - Daddy Big Guns: Maybe I still don'tknow the rules. How did you move guys from Aegyptus before your turn. There were 14 guys there and now there are 8.
2011-07-01 14:17:35 - Daddy Big Guns: Oh, nevermind, I was looking at an unrefreshed screen
2011-07-02 12:22:10 - Daddy Big Guns: Just wasn't meant to be. 9v3 in auto assault. I ended with 3. As if I had a shot anyway.
