Hi again,
Sure, you can be Axis. I have heard that a bid for the Allies up to 10 IPC is “recommended”, but since we have not played before let’s just do without a bid? I tried to add your e-mail in the CC field and then Test Server. It says you are not yet registered to receive Dice E-mails, which is how to play forum games and certify that dice rolls are correct. See attached picture. Please click on Help? next to Dice Server for how to easily register. Then I think I can launch the game :)
And while we are at it, how do we do with any Scrambling opportunities during a player’s turn. A quick notification in the Forum thread may be the best option if you are unsure how the opponent would decide?
