This is the line up so far. D-Day is 1st June (due to good weather in the channel! ;)  ;D).

Round 1
Weapons and Warfare - 1941-45 Battle for Russia

Millipede (Axis) vs Nelmsm (Soviet)
Cyrano (Axis) vs Iudi1867 (Soviet)
Ethel the Frog (Axis) vs Yskonyn (Soviet)
Iudi1867 (Axis) vs Anguille (Soviet)
JasonPratt (Axis) vs Shelldrake (Soviet)

Round 2
Patton Drives East - Stalin Drives West

Millipede (Soviet) vs Iudi1867 (Allies)
Cyrano (Soviet) vs Shelldrake (Allies)
Ethel the Frog (Soviet) vs Nelmsm (Allies)
JasonPratt (Soviet) vs Yskonyn (Allies)
Anguille (Soviet) vs TBC (Volunteer needed please!)

Round 3
Pacific Theater - 1944-45 Philippines

Millipede (Allies) vs Ethel the Frog (Imperial Japan)
Cyrano (Allies) vs JasonPratt (Imperial Japan)
Shelldrake (Allies) vs Iudi1867 (Imperial Japan)
Nelmsm (Allies) vs Yskonyn (Imperial Japan)
TBC (Volunteer needed please!) vs Anguille (Imperial Japan)


NB I have one Steam Code left in the event we get another player. If not then please consider joining Iudi1867 as a volunteer to face off against Anguille. (You will get the best score of your two games to add to your total, so something to consider especially if you do badly in Round 1).

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I have some good news for you.  :bd:

Paolo at Slitherine is kindly donating a game (TBC) as prize for the winner.

If no one else is interested I'll give this a go.  I have no experience with the game, so I'll be cannon-fodder, but this seems to be a good way for me to get into playing MP

You will have company in the cannon fodder category as I also have no experience with this particular game.

That's fine. I'll rejig the league a bit so you get a variety of opponents and situations. Check your PM for the code. :)

I've mixed it about a bit, so you should get at least one game where you're on the strategic attack/defence, and should get a different opponent in each game... Good luck! \m/

Hate to be that guy, but could we delay to the 4th?  I literally only fired up the game for the first time today

Well no one seems upset about that. O0

The competition starts 4th June.

It's up to you guys, but I can see no reason why the games can't be played concurrently if that suits you better. Let me know your preferences. :)

June 4 works for me - maybe by then I will have managed to beat the AI on beginner! :)
