how man y turns do YOU plan ahead?
Usually I plan 2 turn (predicted) ahead, but mostly I work off what happens season by season. I'm wondering if this is common?

Modern Variant border question
Is Fleet Israel to Jordan (and the reverse) a valid move in Modern? It doesn't seem like it should be, but I'm given the option in the movement drop down. It's an anonymous game, I can provide the game I'd via PM if it's needed.

A crazy idea that could be vary entertaining
So I took a look at the Viking map and I got this crazy idea, would anyone be interested in playing a "character" game? it would have a roleplaying aspect similar to the treaties games, but less rules, basically you would invent a character and then play the game as that character ex. Louis the Crusader, King of France, blah blah blah (personal stuff about the character)

So what's people's preference - if KA is in we have 7 needed for Classic, or wait to see if we get more interest and go with Modern?
Surokh (693 D)

I would say classic sorely for balance reasons, but Modern opens up for role playing, with the countries being different in power! :)

When we did this before we ended up with:
Britain: drunken yob
Austria: perverted archduke of Central European pornography
Turkey: sadistic, blood thirsty brute
Germany: obsessed with his own bodily functions, both neurotically and sexually
Italy: disappeared so flaky and unreliable

I barely remember France and Russia. I just remember Amby begging me to give him Lesbos. That and Britain striving to take Belgium, Bohemia and Bavaria for the beer.

Does anyone know what the difference in national stereotypes would be between Poland and Ukraine? Admittedly, Ukraine has the group of "feminists" who show up everywhere topless to try to convince the world that not all Ukrainian women are whores.
King Atom (1186 D)

Uh, yeah...that comment I made meant that I wanted to join.
Maybe two Classic games, one Extreme Personalities (from an updated list) and an Extreme National Stereotypes game. ExP should be purely fun with winning/losing being secondary. ExNS would be normal Dip drivers (ie play to win/draw/survive) but in extreme national character with whatever traits you wish.

@gopher - I take you'd be in this? Remember your deranged psychotic Turk well.

I can't join new games at the moment (I promised my wife) but I would quite happily randomly apply the Personalities to the players for people.

@kaner - that's brilliant and is the way I'd ideally hope it'd go.

@everyone - Based on the two previous games don't underestimate how much reading/postings there would be. You'll be buried (but it'll be worthwhile!) I'd recommend that we play just one game (choosing now on EP or ENS) and suggest Modern as the board (we have 9 players already & just need one more.)
I'd gopher is in we'll have the 10 for modern.
If not i'd (stupid little iPhone keyboard)

Don't forget Captain Convoy, who must organize the most complex multi-national convoys the world has ever seen, delivering countries' armies to the furthest possible destination just because they can!
Captain Convoy.... classic.

Speaking of classic, I think based on gopher's usual good sense some of the differences in Modern may be too subtle unless you're already familiar with national stereotypes etc. I think Modern could work though for an Extreme Personalities game as nationality is less an issue.
