I think the OP has some time kinda etc. You can rewind the last have etc to see how that played it if curious. Main thing is to try to keep the game itself in-game, ie no stuff in the forum took after its over if poss (though do DM me in emergencies etc), and no "I'm djornson" stuff in game (though saying your noob in general terms, or making it like you know the stats/right thing to do is ask good!).
Ask away with questions now if you want, given that can't reveal who you are yet given we don't know lol.
So I'll start this tomorrow afternoon or so. And will pink the link in a chat with us seven. And it'll actually start (including country allocations) once we're all in.
Yup, a grey tick is saved and all good; green tick is "ready" which isn't very useful unless everyone goes "ready" at which point the round can end before the 2d deadline.
It's pretty clear with two red exclamation marks if you've not saved anything. Best approach is to save something sensible early (so you can't miss the deadline), and then keep tweaking it as more diplomacy chats happen etc.
Despite all that though - it's still staying "At least 1 country still needs to enter orders!" so I guess somebody ain't saved yet. Hopefully everyone's doing alright though and we'll get there this eve!
Ooh, we've all now saved, so game on for later! (Though you can ofc change your moves still, if you so wish...)
I don't think there's any risk of retreats being needed after the first turn, so it should go straight to Fall. After which 2d chit-chat, and then that move, then conceivably retreats, but likely the first set of building!
Unless you're Russia, in which case things haven't progressed because you seemingly saved with all four units holding?! A brazen tactic for the first turn....
Don't forget to get those moves in folks, at least one person hasn't yet. 7pm tomorrow (Thursday).
Whoever Russia is: you need to do the drop down choices before pressing save!! You can then click "interactive" to check it looks right. But yeah top tip is you probably want to move somewhere...
