We've got eight confirmed players, so we're ready to play! Our game number is DC506
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 "Chaos builds" - new units can be built in any supply center controlled by you. This new map contains land 3 bridges for armies (not for fleets) 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, September 8 at 8:30 PM MDT (9-9-14 at 03:30 GMT)

This is a different map and there are some changes -- familiar territories have new names or have been divided. Here is a list of all the official territories and their abbreviations that are used: Please be sure to use the new names as it may cause confusion if you don't - you may end up in a different location than you expected!
