Ah, the game has begun!
I managed to draw England, and within hours of the game beginning received press from France proposing we keep The Channel as a DMZ, at least for the time being and I agreed with him. I'm going to see what diplomatic strings I can put together, and hopefully the Anglo-French Alliance can be put together and succeed with some luck. I might just not get wiped off the board in the first 6 turns :-).
First moves are due by Wednesday... I'm currently planning the usual Northern Advance that I've seen England use in most cases with F Edi-Nwg, F Lon-Nth, and A Lvp-Yor. With this and seeing the French's first moves I can secure the Nwy SC and if I can convince my French friend Belgium as well, securing two builds and a foothold on the main portion of the Europe.

Hardcore is the way to play!
You'll find me on US-East, on the account name Baylan (for now, I'll add more as I get my accounts up and hardcore-capable).
