So Pedrunn should we delay our movement to Troppau now and kill with the size two stack first the Barbrian catapult?

Yes. I dont want ou TIs destroyed.

Quote:

3. Should we kill the mounted archer with an stack of 2 Arch and 2 hopelites from Pedrunnia?

We cant this turn. But send such sized stack from Graz moving NW, N.

Pedrunn · March 22, 2003, 17:21

It is a turn thread not a turn chat, Ben. Therefore I needed your orders before in detail. So what are our next tile improvements we have now 1056 PW available.

Yeah I know, but I was only elected when you started the thread and had two days to scramble everything. Plus the chat is more immediate.

4. Moved PostWarrior one tile South.
5. PostGraz was moved one tile NorthWest, to explore the Austrian territory further.

8. The city Maquidat was settled on the potatoe tile near the Indian border.
9. Attacked the Barbrian Catapult, the Hopelite was heavily damaged but survived.
10. Keeoing the units in H Town, the size two stack should be moved to Pressburg, or should we use some units from Pressburg instaed of the Barbrian killers?

Yeah I must admit the chat is something that this turn thread does not has and putting everything down is also a little bit tideous. So actual we should think about how we can make the turn chats better.

Well I will put it SouthWest of Pedrunnia as you draw it in your screenshot.

11. Farm build SW of Pedrunnia.
12. 2 Archers and 2 Hopelites were moved from Graz NorthWest and North to give the Brabs something to think about.
13. Set the remaining units in Pressburg on wait, as I don't want to leave the city empty for one turn. Next turn the ten units there should move to Troppau.
14. Germans are still in front of Graz, same behaviour and the beginning of their turn retreat and then at they end of their turn retreat from the retreat.
15. Changed city name from Maquidat to Maquidad.

Year turn chats have something that this turn thread does not have, we played may turns, but it lacks the feeling of playing a game together. And I don't think that we can really accelerate the turn chat much, the game is getting more and more complex and not the way around. I saw a minimum of 8 or 7 events in one turn, well that is a short turn then but the events should all be discussed at least mentioned, such a turn with 15 or 18 events needs of course longer. And everything that happens in a turn chat should be discussed, otherwise I don't need to hold turn chats. The advantages of a turn thread I see is that the events are presented clearly. You see what really happened. Of course the number of played turns. And the many screen shots.

Tamerlin · March 23, 2003, 21:39

I agree with you Martin, the Turn Thread definitely lacks something the Turn Chat has... having fun together. I think I would lost some interest, if not all, in the DG if the game was played this way.

Moreover, the number of turns played are roughly equivalent.
