Heh.  Got the Stealthy Tigers.  They were always one of my favorite BT units.

I got Selvin Kelswa(what the hell kinda name is that anyway?), Duke of the Tamar Pact, so we're both Steiner. Excellent!

I've already got some strategery working, even though I don't know exactly what's at my disposal. I got my roster yesterday, and it's huge. With merc units, I can start thinking about offensives, or a defense that will give Kurita a serious black-eye.

The Tigers are on Loric.  Is that in the Tamar Pact?  If so, we should start discussing my fee and what you want blown the hell up! ;D

Your Archon, HRRNighthawk, is a very good player, I've dealt with him before when he was going to play a Mercenary, and I continue to deal with him now that he heads the Lyran Commonwealth as PIC of the Mercenary Guild.  You guys are in good hands... kick some Kuritan butt.

I don't understand this online game at all.  You sign up for something that doesn't seem to exist yet, and the previews of the interface look like little more than some simple webpages with some faction symbols.  Any explanation of how this thing is supposed to work would be of interest to me.

I don't think it's up to me who get's raises among the merc units, but Stealthy Tigers would be first on my list. They've always been loyal to Steiner and deserve a raise. No promises, but I'll see what I can pull with the Archon.

In the meantime, start looking at good defensive positions, as well as where you want to spend a couple of months campaigning. We didn't come to stare at each other....  :rollingpin:

Just remember, I got some spare jumpships if you need to move something to a near by DC planet quickly and quietly. :flame:

Its essentially a replacement for Play By Email type games that many of us on this site played in the past.  You enter your orders on these webpages, then when the GM clicks, process turn, it follows your orders as well as it can (which is why orders are button based instead of text based)  Battles are fought in a computer, and your pages are updated.  Then you repeat the process.  Grapically it is supposed to be very limited to allow for even Dial-up users to play on it with little loss of control ability.

I may get into more details when I get back from work...assuming I don't crash as soon as I get in.
