Missing a turn without NMRing/CDing
In one of the games I'm in, France has not moved at all since the beginning (it's Spring 1902 now), but he hasn't NMRed or CDed, and so we can't cancel. Any idea what's going on?

House game 3/08 near Boston
I'm hosting a house game this coming Sunday (3/08) in Waltham MA, and would love a few more players. I actually already have one full board confirmed plus a couple extras, so I'm looking for 5-6 more people to make it a two-board event.

This is part of my effort to create a strong Boston community of Dippers, so all ages, skill-levels, and amounts FtF experience are welcome. Contact me if you're interested, either here or (preferably) at [email protected].

So "Wargame" is 75% off on Steam and it looks pretty good to me so I think I'll get at least one..
Red Dragon for €10? Franchise Pack for €12,50?
Is it worth playing the earlier games first/after Red Dragon stops being fun?
Is it a good game, anyway?

Diplomacy with WMD's
every country begins with 1 WMD(can only be used after 1902 build phase) every other year would be an automatic WMD for countries larger than 7 centers. (this way no nuclear war in 1901, or 1902). A WMD would annihilate all forces enemy or friendly in a given location and if it is a center render it neutral and impassable for 1 year. what would this add to the game?

I thought it would be interesting to see MAD employed in diplomacy.

I know, the subtitles suck, but the film is awesomely made nevertheless. I love how it pretends to be targeting foreigners but in fact is clearly meant to brainwash Russian people (even further).
KingCyrus (511 D)
04 Mar 15 UTC
The subtitles made it sound much more aggressive. Specifically at the end.

Anyway, the film was pretty awesome.

yassem (2533 D)
04 Mar 15 UTC
Well, I understand much of it in Russian, and it's still aggressive af. But yeah, the language itself is pretty cool, like a much easier version of Polish.
But anyway, yeah. Poor Russians, right? All they were trying to do as USSR was bring joy and prosperity and their neighbors didn't appreciate that at all, those ungrateful capitalist swines.
KingCyrus (511 D)
04 Mar 15 UTC
Specifically I was talking about the ending, where the "Russian occupier (invader)" signs off. The subtitles say "your" Russian occupier (to use their language), which makes it sound like the Russians are invading *you*. But that isn't correct. It should be "Sincerely, the (implied) Russian occupier." Much less aggressive towards the US.

"...and other useful stuff"

I lost my shit right there, in that stanza about Siberia.

Although I deplore their methods most of the time, I will say one thing about the Russians: They know how to get shit done and they don't fuck around neither. The AK-47? It's not pretty but it gets shit done. The conquest of Berlin? No fucking around there. Why does the West feel the need to keep antagonizing Russia? Hell, I'd reach across the aisle, shake hands, and turn our collective attention to bigger problems.

@Gunfighter you idiot, Ukraine is still under siege and thousands of russian troops are pouring onto that border daily. Ukraine is a functioning democracy that is actually doing well compared to some other balkan states. Putin's public statements and actions are what is keeping our hate for them alive.

also @SantaClausowitz Germany is OUR FRIEND NOW, if it weren't for him the EU would have toppled over and died

@Gunfighter
If by conquest of Berlin you mean the mass rape and slaughter of pretty much all of the civilians and surrendering soldiers east of the Elbe then yes. Hardcore no fucking around
yassem (2533 D)
05 Mar 15 UTC
@JamesYanik, "Ukraine [...] compared to other Balkan states" - you know Ukraine is quite far from the Balkan peninsula, right? But apart from that you are absolutely right.

@Gunfighter, I hope you are trolling. Especially about Berlin. You might just as well say, you know who does stuff great? North Korea! Think about how amazing a leader has to be to keep his people in extreme poverty and yet still win each election with 100% of the votes. And they build nukes! Germany is supposed to be so developed and prosperous but I don't see them building nukes...

@SantaClausowitz, actually USA could try to do a bit like this that could actually be based on the truth - Marshall Plan for example (and not that much after that, but nevertheless, all we had (Eastern Europe) was Comecon and that basically meant giving up all you economical sovereignty in exchange for a random military intervention/crisis every now and then. You wanna compare the effect being in american and soviet SOIs take a look at demographic and economic comparisons of West vs East Germany.
