I just noticed that they've added the new cards on ACTS.

I'd like to give it a whirl - playing as the US - anyone up for the USSR slot? No logfiles, just track your own moves via spreadsheet or cyberboard.

My username on acts is mattDP. If you want to play, just set up the game!

Matt -- I will give it a shot. I have never played TS on ACTS, is it pretty straight-forward?

OK -- I started a game (Doug's Game) with you as an opponent. Only question is how do we keep track of the map and influence?

@ Space Ghost

The file in the attachment is a way of tracking the game. Both players will have to maintain their own copies. (I have the file from Matt. It's an excel file, so you need Excel or OpenOffice.)

@ Matt

I'd be up for a game of TS, too. But no problem if you only want to play one at a time.

I'm sure I can manage one more - but that's enough for now I think. Fire it up when you're ready Schweig, and be sure to pick whatever option is required for it to include the deluxe cards.

well, now that I understand how it works I would be in for anyone else who would like to play some PBEM games of TS. I know there are other TS players here:

Sax
Dr. Mabuse
KingPut
Schweig

Come on, dammit -- this is like crack-cocaine to me, I need my fix.

I'm full on PBEM games right now, otherwise I would.

Using the Excel file works for me better than real-time so sign me up S.G.

Game started, good Dr.

You'll find it under "Anthony's Beatdown" (A little payback for all the Titan abuse I have been taking). I took the liberty of taking the US.

Though I hate the excel file (I like pushing counters and seeing counters being pushed--even when the counter-pushing is lame marker placement ;)], what can I say...), I'm always available for a PBEM game of something. I'm in 3 6+ player games right now that have all ground to a halt (although I've just stalled GarySax's GCACW game...I need to get back to that)...

Hey, F:AT HIS is showing signs of life! (there's 4 of the 6 of us in this thread, right?)

I'm in for some PBEM TS as well. I'm pretty piss-poor at the game because I rarely get to play it face to face. However, I'm not proud, so bring it on.
