We've got eight confirmed players, so we're ready to play! I am still waiting for a game number, but we can go ahead for now without it.
Our player are as follows:

To reiterate: Blitzkrieg adds an another player playing as Spain and the balance of power is different as well: England has 5 units, France 4 units, Germany 4 units and Turkey has 4 units (the other countries remain the same as the Standard game). This game will also be using "imperial builds" - new units can be built in any supply center controlled by you. This new map contains land bridges for armies to cross, plus makes Switzerland AND Sweden impassable.
Since there are 53 supply centers, 27 will be required to win the game solo. This could be a long game.
Our first move deadline will be Monday, Sept 9 at 8:30 PM MDT (10-09-13 03:30 GMT)
A couple of notes:
1. Be sure to check out the house rules, which are linked from the page of the game and included on this email.
2. The facility to send anonymous messages exists (gray press) - just forward me the message you want sent, and I'll pass it on.
3. I'd encourage you to send preliminary orders in - you never know when technology will let you down or you'll be caught without email access!
4. Any questions about the game or rules I'm happy to help - just drop me an email
5. I attached the Realpolitik variant file for your own use while playing.
