anything class D or lower all have some serious doubts regarding their survival! History has shown that just about everyone has at least a shot at taking part in a win. I'm sure a few have not done well yet but they all have an equal (crappy) chance at pulling a rabbit out of the hat!

I am writing one last group of possible players, give them a few days to reply, then I will attempt to get this started even if it requires even further culling of powers, with units that hold, adding extra standing armies, even goofy rules allowing cross supports, I can manage to keep the games integrity in check.

In a few days look for an email from me confirming your interest THEN I will assign powers (can't assign powers if we are not confirmed, that would not be fair to whomever might be missing, gotta negotiate with a level playing field.)

Looking good to start shortly (the reduced power game that is) I will give a few more days and fill as many spots as possible but we are already good to go if nobody else joins ...so if you are reading this, JOIN NOW
sign up here, email me, whatever you prefer but do it soon. I can start NOW or we can still squeeze in another 15 or so players but again, that window of opportunity is closing!

To all who are waiting,
I will send confirmations out in the next few days, maybe as early as Saturday if I have the time (crappy weather with SNOW in the forecast, I may as well sit in front of a computer?) maybe Sunday, maybe as late as Monday?
First confirmation you are still in
Then I send out your power assignment

Confirmations were sent out late Sunday
as of early Monday morning we are already half confirmed!
If you did not receive a request to confirm (I had no bounced messages) then contact me immediately!
explorediplomacy at gmail dot com (the address I am using for this game)

...if you are just now seeing this and thought, "damn, I wanted to play",
You still have a LITTLE time left, we are using a map with fewer powers and I can easily change that but you need to get in SOON, once the game starts, it is of course hen too late!

confirmation update
35 confirmations were sent out at about the very end of the day Sunday night/VERY early Monday AM
here it is about 4:00PM and I have confirmations from 29, plus one possible drop out. (31 of 35 heard from)
So we are almost fully confirmed already!

still waiting for the above 4 guys but while waiting, I just got another new signing (from another site) so my balanced map is still in play! We may even get another one or two I am waiting for, but the moment (ok ...when I get home) these guys above are all confirmed, that search is over and we START!

sorry about that, I will change it to the one you left me!

...but you are confirmed either way

Here's a rule question for you, Tom: Wings and Bombarded SCs.

Say I'm France, and I have W REU in S01 and I move it north to keep the US in DIE in Spring/Fall. However, South Africa, who's a big jerk, moves W CAP-SWI in Spring and W SWI-REU in Fall, REU is bombarded and can't support a unit that turn. However, is the Wing forced to disband because it is no longer within range? Or since I still technically own REU, is it not a forced disband?

I suspect it's the latter based on a review of the rules, but it's not specifically stated.

a good question, one we never ran into to date!
I have to think about that

You OWN the center
But it's under bombardment, it can't support any units so how could it "support" (as in offer refueling and maintenance support) the wing unit? It seems to me to make no sense to allow the wing to be in operating range. I'm siding with disbandment in this example as it seems to make sense and that's how I prefer to judge such things.
(now just wait until you see who these people are that get plugged into your example)
