Very interested in hearing from Russia/Turkey and Italy.

I sandboxed some stuff and things seem to get super dicey very quick between certain countries. Looking to make friends.

---

We are the only two that can screw each other off the bat. France can snowball into Spain. Turkey into the Balkans. The rest have buffer areas with clear paths for provinces to take.

At the very least we need to agree to a total ceasefire along our lands. So we can focus elsewhere.

One fundamental thing I forgot to mention.

If a unit gets attacked at the same time that it's carrying out a support order, then its support is "cut" and doesn't count.

So sometimes there will be a guessing game when you know a player is going to attack you, but you aren't sure which unit will be doing the attacking and which unit will be doing the supporting.

Caveat: a unit can't cut support that is being used to attack it. So if army A is attacking army B with support from army C, army B can't cut the support by attacking army C. That's still considered a 2v1.

Who here is a newbie?

Get at me for whatever.

I'm gonna reiterate that you all should watch these intro videos.

the first 5 videos of this playlist are probably the best you're going to get for a video intro

Reminding myself to watch this

They basically cover everything I said it's just way easier to digest than reading it on a forum.

I can't emphasize this enough.

I'm probably only communicating in the client, for the record.

I fully support this.

Figured you would support communicating here, turbo, so you could generate interest in the game from observers.

I just mean for private chats, public stuff here is fine.

But really I'm just saying that selfishly because I realized as GM I'm automatically included on all press :P

I don't know how to read the press on my phone. It says I have a message and I have clicked on it like 40 times and nothing shows up

---

I guess I figured it out.

Friendly reminder, just over 24 hours left to lock in moves. You can hit "submit orders" over and over as much as you want if you want to change them, up until deadline.

Mine are in. For the Horde!

Shit.

While I'm thinking about it.

Sometimes there are "in between" turns that require orders. This happens if at least 1 unit is forced out of a territory that it's already occupying.

(Such a scenario is impossible in spring 1901 so it won't happen this turn)

The client has these rounds set to have 24 hour deadlines. However. I will say that most of the time, you only have a couple options for retreats and they tend to be pretty obvious no-brainer decisions.

So if you all want, for retreat phases, we can just roll with a "process as soon as everyone has locked in their decision" system. If not that's fine too.

---

The same thing applies to the build phases. After every fall is when you have the opportunity to build additional units (if you gained dots) or are forced to disband units (if you lost dots). The client will give you 24 hours for these orders.

Builds generally merit a lot more careful consideration than retreats. So I wouldn't recommend shortening those phases, but if you all would like to, then we can.

There is of course the unusual case where no country went up or down in dot count and so that phase would be skipped in that scenario.

A retreat phase following spring is considered summer. A retreat phase following fall is considered autumn (don't ask me), and the build/disband phase is considered winter.

23 hours for Fall 1901 moves

24 hours for build orders

(although I would say if everyone checks the box for "Adjudicate once all powers have issued orders." it would be good for build orders)
---

Where is the move results or do we not get those?

Should be a link in the email it sent.

Austria officially declares war on Russia.

~18 hours for Spring 1902 moves

Retreat phase.

@ScareChan you are the only one with a retreat order to issue. The game will continue once you submit a retreat order for Sweden
