Nothing formal yet, but we may as well get a feel for who's interested in which nation. Again, don't be shy, nothing's set in stone and future matches will rotate players - no one will be stuck with something.

A ranking of choices is probably a good way to do this.

Mine is:

1. CSSR
2. DDR
3. France
4. FRG
5. USSR
6. USA


Edit: Great thanks to Pandex and the Danish Gamers for a ts channel - definitely a must!

Sweathog420 is my steam name. Christ-like figure with the crucified Nickelodeon character "Doug" is the avatar.

I'll be DDR if it isnt taken. Invite to group please

Good idea! Want to keep an updating things?




Just put me down for the last available nation...I'd actually prefer POL/CSSR so I suspect this wont be a problem

I will keep track of rankings if people post them up - any 2nd or 3rd choices, Guggy we will rotate through countries as this goes on.

add quigglebert to the steam account, as for nations
1.UK
2.West germany
3.USA

reason being these are where most of my unlocks are sitting at atm

What a great concept.

I'm not far enough along in my decks to limit myself, but perhaps I'll put my hand in after another week or two of playing.

quiggle - got you down, looks like you will be UK for our first go.

Arc - good to hear, if you get in some decent mp play, you can easily build up a pile of unlocks in one smaller nation. I added you in WG, add me on steam, as Comrade (CoH King Tiger Tank as avatar), and I can invite you to our group (HistSoc) for future coordination.

holoween on steam aswell

1. W.Germany
2. France
3. USSR

I dont really have access to Steam until tonight (or more likely tomorrow if the kids are camping my computer when I finnally get home).

Did we have a steam group up and running already?

Amount of unlocks is a good point, I have more unlocks on W.Pact side atm, I will be doing some marathon sessions with the game starting tomorrow though, so I should be able to fill most gaps.

Edit: NM on steam, I had a message I didnt notice.

My buddy (Memnok) and I met and played against 2 battles with Genosse last night with normal decks...great fun...

As there is pretty good interest in this, I think we can schedule the first battle for next weekend. This also allows North_Wolf to join us.


MARCH 18th - Battle I - 8:15PM(UTC)

The decks will be limited to 1 nation per player.

The time should work for most people from the west coast of NA right to Moscow. If we notice a pattern of player locations, the time can be adjusted. "The needs of the many..." philosophy will be used here.

So, what we need to do prior to the event:
- get firm commitments from people
- set nations
- set the map
- set numbers (starting points/victory points)
- within teams, set leaders and discuss strategy


People who commit in advance will have their nation choice locked in and any last minute joiners on Sunday will have to pick from what's left.

I suspect we will run the battle twice but there is no need to commit to both battle...the first one will be the main event and the second pure luxury.

Genosse is taking care of the player/nation list.

Please feel free to post any question/comments or concerns...
