Don't worry, I will document the World 2.1 game too, so everybody can see how you killed me very early in the game by destroying my bonus in La Plata ;-)

I am afraid that game is already full. But is there is enough interest, I don't see why we cannot try another test game. The more people that try it, the more feedback we can have about the subject. We could try a World 2.1 game with escalating cards, a World 2.1 without cards, or a Classic with flat rate, because neither of those combinations has been tested yet.

Prefer Classic personally.

Not exctly. He did it first. I rebuilt my bonus... and then you broke it for the second time. Are you all against me?

I'd love to try a Classic w/ flat rate, myself.

I joined, but if there if someone else wants to play and there is no room y will drop to cede my place to someone else

Look at Kenya in the Horn. Only one army despite cyan having the full Magreb. Also, if green wants the Indian subcontinent he will have to commit some armies to Sri Lanka who will not be able to go back to the border for long time. The same goes for US. It has only 1 and 2 armies, but green wont' be able to conquer it in one turn despite having lots of reinforcements from Chine and Australia.

I've joined - looking forward to playing - Hope we can recruit more people soon.

Well, that particular thing is due to the adjacent reinforcements, not due to the attack style...

I posted game 3502830 in one of my clan forums; it should fill up soon enough.

I think the idea is good. I have a variant of the idea under the topic "Restricted Reinforcement". People have expressed various concerns which I don't see, and I think if this option or mine is introduced it will be easy to see that these games will have their own unique tactical considerations, based upon much more realistic force movement options. Deployment and maneuver of forces is so critical in strategic planning, it's a shame that the game system we use utilizes an impossible movement system that no real army can duplicate. No German Blitzkreig, no American "shock and awe" ever utilized movement where embattled forces could move farther and faster than non-embattled forces.

The adjacent attacks escalating game is one of the most interesting I have ever played. I thought it might be boring since it is so easy to protect people. Over protection could just lead to a stale mate and a build game with escalating cards.

The great part is that since protecting people is extremely easy, you don't even need to block. A person can protect themselves by attacking a single territory to escape their foe. And you can even let someone else take a player out, because they won't be able to continue and conquer the whole map on one turn. It's been a great setting so far.
