All of the orders for War Round#1 are finally in and I have had a chance to look them over, and the results are ….there is no combat for this War Round. ☹ A surprise to me, I was sure, but when I work through all the conditions that is the net effect. Your Referee has decreed that there will be no War Round#2.
However, before we go onto ending out the Turn, players will have an opportunity to influence actions with Response PApoints. To the summary of Political Actions in the 2065 History section I will be adding a very brief summary of the results as things stand, for most little more than Success/Fail. I have already been working through processing your orders and I still have much to do on that but I will have it complete and posted by Aug 10, 2020. After that we will have a 1 week period where you can write and submit any final orders for the Turn before this Turn is closed and we move onto 2070. *
As you likely know, Ken Ditto (UK and India) has left the game, thank you for playing Ken, I was looking forward to seeing the results of what you were doing for the UK. The really bad thing is this brings our active player count down very low. I will be posting notices in various places about getting new people joining the game, but I need your help. Remember the contest that I mentioned earlier! So, ask your friends, post notices to your gaming groups, etc., we need more players!! This game is a lot more fun when your opponents are actual players, I and Liam try but there is just so much else for us to do that there is no way we can give newly NPC nations the kind of intense, creative focus that a nation really needs to be a worthy adversary. We need more players!!
*The exact sequencing of activities within a turn is still not completely settled. The sequencing of activities mentioned in this paragraph is how we are doing things for THIS turn, but this is an area for refinement which I am actively working on improving. The sequence may be different for the next Turn.
