Regarding Deluxe version, this is section 5.7 in the 2018 rules, and they include the following: "5.7.2 Victory Point Changes • t Peace Terms (Rule 16.5) are not allowed. The AP wins all draws. • Ahwaz, Venice, Minsk, Jerusalem, and Kharput are NOT VP spaces. • Kovno, Sedan, Amiens, Koblenz, and Aachen are VP spaces." So, Minsk is not a VP space, but Kovno is a VP space. Also, 55 card deck with 8 card hands. |

Request: 6-sided die x 1 6 Message from Allies: Hi DA, welcome back. I am in the Washington DC area, so an hour ahead of you. I'm OK with no OOS warnings. Just to be clear, we are playing the 2018 Deluxe Scenario, where Kovno is a VP site and Minsk is not? There was some confusion on that in my first game. If the number above is 1-3, I will bid first. |

Rich, I’ve returned from vacation, and I’m ready to start play. Any thoughts on OOS, etc.? I’ve played ~ 5 games of POG online, so I’m not sure what all expectations are for individual players. I do not need/require OOS or MO warnings. Also, can you intro yourself (where are you/time zone, etc.), and then can you please roll for bidding, starting us off? Thanks! |

Rich, I live in the Southern Mississippi area, which is Central time zone. I’m currently in Wyoming/Montana with my family on vacation, and I return home next week. I do not utilize Vassel. Instead, I use my hard copy of the game and rely on ACTS as the definitive record of our moves. Looking forward to playing! DA |

Welcome to Round Five of the BPA VIII Paths of Glory Tournament! We started with 133 participants and are now down to 37, there are no more easy matches. While most of the following information is reused from earlier rounds I would like to strongly recommend that you start this match with the latest VASSAL module, 9.8, a reference link is provided below. I'll be your game moderator and should be your first point of contact for any issues related to this match. As always, the priority should be for a fun and fair match for all involved. The official launch date for this round is August 1st, 2020 but feel free to start your match immediately. Round 5 concludes on November 29, 2020; you'll have 120 days for this round. Contacting me: I am based in Houston (US EST, GMT -6) and will generally respond to all match questions within 24 hours. I strongly recommend you e-mail me directly at "mdauer92@yahoo.com" referencing your match # when you do so. If I do not respond within 48 hours, please escalate to one of the other GMs (gregorit@yahoo.com or paulhubbard@hotmail.co.uk). If I am going to be unavailable for more than 48 hours, I will alert you ahead of time. Issue Resolution: If either player has a concern about a particular ruling or resolution I make, feel free to raise it to the other GMs. I will also reach out to Paul and Michael if there's something I'm not sure of. Please remember that the ACTS logs are viewable for all, direct e-mail exchanges with your opponent are obviously permitted but GMs will view the ACTS logs as the authoritative record of the game. Getting Started: Here are my thoughts on how to get the match started: - Introduce yourselves and set expectations regarding your availability and game pace. - Agree on the scenario. The default is the WBC Historical Scenario as described on the POG Tournament Page and I strongly recommend its usage. - Agree on usage of supply warnings. They are strongly recommended. - There is no mandatory usage of a particular PBEM tool. VASSAL is recommended but not necessary and exchanging game logs is also optional. - Bid for sides. (Initial bidder is to be random, one of you should just roll a die with a 50-50 shot of that player bidding first. Switch sides in ACTS if necessary, contact me if you need help with this. - Draw cards. CP will then kick off the fun by rolling the turn 1 MO and playing their first card. Have fun!
