I just sent Lee an email, so we shall see how we go.

I forgot to mention in my earlier post, that having a fantastic first turn means it's all down hill from here lol. Oh well, it's fun Smile


Congrats on a nice first turn back. I do wish it hadn't been mostly at my expense, but welcome back. (I run Bashaholics Anon)

Well, the newsletter (finally) came out about 15minutes ago, and I rather suspect I'll be needing a new keyboard if the number of times I hit F5 (refresh) is anything to go by Smile

The turn turned out a lot better for me than I was expecting, since my primary goal was achieved (none of my guys were killed), as well as my secondary goal (at least 3 wins).

So, I'm off to plan for another week, and stand by the mailbox waiting for the hardcopy results to arrive. I've sent off my turn sheets for Snowbound, so we shall see how that fares.


Another question, if I may be so bold: roughly what sort of time frames are there between requesting a new team rollup sheet and it turning up? So far I'm getting close to 3 weeks now.....

Cheers.

It varies a lot. Not sure why. (Account balances, office priorities, etc)
Can e mail Sandy or Lee direct at Sandy@reality.com or Lee@reality.com to try to expedite.

Thanks for the heads-up, but I don't know that I can wait that long Smile

Oh well, back to grumbling and waiting at the virtual mailbox Smile


Electronic newsletters all appear in the very early morning (Arizona time)of the 4th day. (Unless there is a glitch.) The intent is to allow some/most managers to receive the snail mail first/same time. That seldom happens (snail) so MOST of us are waiting with bated breath for the electronic/auto postings.

I haven't sent any turnsheets in for Snowbound at this point in time, I've been waiting rather excitedly for the latest turn in Illis to be run.

A quick question - what sort of time lag is there between the turn running and the newsletter appearing here? A day or 2? I only ask because I'm rather looking forward to seeing how my guys went, and I'm really hoping no one died Smile

I'm going to be in Illis (59) this turn (hopefully), and Snowbound (50) on its next turn - I missed Snowbound's turn this time around, waiting for a credit card form from RSI. Oh well, anticpation whet's the desire Smile

Although I DO kinda wish they were able to go the email/webform route - I know they can't/won't, from other threads, and I don't wish to re-cover that stuff Smile

I too look forward to catching people on the sand.


Not in Illis, but look for the friendly "Life Impacts" in Snowbound.

Well, it's been a while since my last post, but I figured I'd mention that I sent off the turn sheets for one of my teams, with another turn's worth off in the next day or so Smile

For now, I think I'll stick to the slow arenas, although I'll probably try/risk a fast arena in a few weeks - we shall see.

Be gentle, I'm still delicate and would really appreciate my teams going 5-0 for the first 10 or so turns they're back lol.

Now to decide on a new manager moniker/handle.....


Which slow ones did you decide? Hope to see you there.

Living in Europe, I have some experience of playing long distance. I only play fast arenas and I have gotten it to work. I usually receive my turns 4 - 6 days after they run which actually gives enough time to post strats for the next turn. However, I tend to fax in all my strats. Even though it costs a little I still prefer it over having to do it the old fashioned way.


I know someone else who does the same thing (not me) and he even told me that they will take a replacement RU FAXed in if you write the control number where it can been seen when it copies.

No Brisbane office = sad puppy Sad

Oh well, I might give one of the fast arenas a go, and see how it works (or not) for me. Worst case, I still have my slow arenas Smile

Thanks for the words guys, hopefully I give a reasonable accounting of myself whilst you're pounding me into the dirt Razz

Good luck and have fun Smile
