{Come on Lurker- I know it's not BO but it's been ages so jump in! :nofear:}

We have at least 4 so the tourney is will start Aug 7.

 

[BigAlMoho]

I have no preference but if pressed would go with the Allies...

 

[Michael Dorosh]

I'd prefer Soviet.

 

[Cornolio]

Axis please

 

[[hirr]Leto]

I'm equally incompetent with both... so whatever you wish.

 

[Redwolf]

Slight preference for Soviets. Can play Axis if others want Soviets.

 

[BigAlMoho]

Did you get enough capital letters in my handle there PaLanTir? ;-)

 

[jdsu]

I'll fill in that vacant Axis spot.

 

[Palantir]

Just a note-
All players need to PM me the email address where they want the files sent to.

Just 6 players so far- where's that fighting spirit?

 

[Quellist]

Just 6 players so far- where's that fighting spirit?

Well, I'm on the fence, but it would seem that I would become the odd man out if I jumped in,
and I doubt that I would get the codes to the nukes. :smoke:
Odd man hypothesis

 

[[hirr]Leto]

If we can get lurker to take the bait, you'd not be the odd man out... so let's put some pressure on him!

Leto

 

[Palantir]

Well, I'm on the fence,

You're in :thumup: pick a side & send me your email! :salute:

I'm sure the other guys are just waiting to add to the suspence of who is playing. :nofear:

This one is ready to go so join in and feel the heat!
:clap:

 

[Quellist]

You're in :thumup: pick a side & send me your email! :salute:

Damn, one minor lapse in concentration and bam, shanghaied! :laugh:
Someone is going to get a lot of points of me :OHNO:

Oh well, give me the Axis then, I'll pm you my email.

Edit: Since it was some time ago I played PBEM, are there any issues with using gmail? IIRC hotmail mangled turnfiles and if it is the same with gmail I'll find something else.

 

[Lurker]

{Come on Lurker- I know it's not BO but it's been ages so jump in! :nofear:}

I'm really tempted but I might fall into the 'jerk' category. I'm moving in a few weeks and between that and other matters I'm not entirely sure I can maintain the pace.

 

[Palantir]

Based on your track record I know you wouldn't fall into that list- which is why you posted.

And well said, some players can do 8 turns on a weekend but if your opponent can only do one then you won't get very far in a tourney...
I encourage matched players (when I post them) to let each other know before the games actually start on what their turn around times are so they can get on the same track and plan to finish early.

 

[MeatEtr]

Let's rock & roll, sign me up. I'm a high turn rate player as always and I couldn't care less about which side I get. :nuts:

 

[Lurker]

It looks like you got the 8th player you needed.

 

[[hirr]Leto]

There are potentially three more people that may be interested in the tourney. I have pm'd them on another board to send them here so keep watch.

Cheers!

Leto

 

[Palantir]

Good news Leto.

Send me your Email MeatEtr and welcome aboard.

 

[MeatEtr]

Thanks, PM sent. I see you have my listed side as a question mark, so I guess I'll jump in on the Axis side.

I will be at the beach all next week, Aug. 7th-14th, so won't be around. :ciao:
