-The map in the main post will be changed to show the current situation each turn. All replies in the post will show the situation in previous turns. Example. Post: Spring, 1903 Reply: Spring, 1901 Reply: Fall, 1901 Reply: Spring, 1902 Reply: Fall, 1902 Reply: Spring, 1903(Yes, I'll be posting the current situation as a reply right away, too. Saves me some work). EDIT: I will also mail the maps to anyone who wants me to. Moves and the outcome of those moves will also be in the reply. I will also set up a post called "The Commentator's Box" where I will be commentating the whole game. I might just get someone else to commentate the second game.... -And as to silly questions; I asked alot of them myself when I was first trying out this game. One of them was "Is it like Risk?". The answer to that question was a slap on the cheek and the words: You blasphemous dog(True Story)! -As long as you avoid that question you're all right .

1. Are the areas without supply centers important in any way other that strategy? 1. Well, in terms of gaining something.... No. But the strategic part of it is big so you should not discard it. A ship in the Barent Sea, English Channel or the Black Sea for instance is extremely useful. Also, in order to dislodge a unit from a province you need at least two units and so any non-star province is necessary for this. 2. Does one get to choose between an army or a fleet when "winter" comes (if a new supply center is acquired and held on to) or is there a system for figuring it out?
2. Your reinforcements are to be listed in the Spring turn order that you deliver to Winner and you yourself decide which unit type you want. The only restriction is that you can only place ships in coastal provinces, something which is very logical.... 3. If i acquire a new supply center, can I leave it immediately and still have the unit I got from there (so long as it is not captured by someone else)?
3. For a province to be captured your unit needs to remain there throughout the fall turn. If the province does not contain a unit at the end of the fall turn you do not gain control of the province and therefore get no reinforcements. Once you have captured a province it will stay under your control with or without the presence of a unit until another nation takes it. The same rules apply for them. When playing the board game you place your nation's flag in the province to signify that it is yours. I will take care of that bit as you can see in the PBEM Game thread(Colored provinces are under the control of a nation). So I will not lose a unit if my province is captured until spring?
In order to lose a unit you wil either have to be dislodged from a province while being surrounded so that no retreat is possible or you will have to have more units on the map at the end of the fall turn than you have star provinces under your control. Supply is counted at the start of each Spring turn and all nations are to have as many units on the map as they have star provinces Every Spring turn you will have to accompany your orders with reinforcements/losses orders if you gained or lost a unit. Can an army being convoyed attack a coastal province. (I understand it will need support)? It can attack a province and it can succeed if no other unit is occupying that province. If the province is occupied the attack can succeed if support is given to the convoyed unit by adjacent units not involved in the convoy. Does the army reach land that turn, or is it in the water for a turn? I am guessing it never occupies the same space as another unit.
It reaches land during that turn.
