Yeah that history thing is irritating. Why is there any fog at all?

how about this one? any way i (white) could have come out on top with the initial placement the way it was? http://www.wargear.net/games/player/31495. i tried and tried, but he played a perfect game too so i don't know if i had much of a chance unless he messed up.

That game does seem like Raptor played perfectly and there was not a thing you could do that I could see.

I am wondering where the fog thing comes from as well.  It appears that unoccupied territories show up as fogged in the history (all fog settings are turned off on the board).

12 man RR tourney is up. It'll blow your mind away.

Thanks for the link.

Lazy.

Yes, you are.

It's just two clicks away.

now it is just one click away:

Only 2 more to get started. Tourney's only been open for 2 days, so you know everyone that joined hasn't quit the site! Plus, a subtly suggestive trophy!

Don't blame me, blame burger king.

I'll blame you for selecting that wonderful trophy.

Damn! RL got in the way last week and I missed it. Oh well, I will keep practicing for the next one

Thanks, that was by far the toughest match I have played on this map.  This was the game that really got me hooked.

I will not claim to have won this game but here is a great example of opportunity squandered:

He took a wrong turn at Albuquerque on turn 98.

That game goes to show 23 is just right, in so many games. In my tournament game with alpha, had it been 22, he would have pulled off the best move I've seen so far.

Glad we have our little following. Hugh'd be eating this map up right now.

We are now in the works to try and create scenarios that are random, but have less variation from "fair" starts, yet are still fun and quick.

Seven begs for a rematch feature. Tom?

Make that a replay feature (same starting positions) with an option to swap seats so that grudge matches can occur. This could be fun on other boards as well.

Oh yesssssss

I'll add it once the Simultaneous play is done. Shouldn't be too hard.

I still think it should be done with quite a bit of caution...

Is Don Draper cautious?

Why? It won't be ranked so I can't see any downside...
