Evening Chaps. As Fry said, I'll take the reigns of Mexico if nobody minds.
email issues...eventually got a working account.
Spain for me, in the other wir 1861 I am france...took over after the prior 2 players got france horribly smashed in a war with spain/italy/prussia/uk.
Excellent.
Maybe we'll start up later tonight then once I finalize a few map changes.
Also, I'm going to close nation registration except for if anyone wants to take Italy.
For the purposes of getting this first game going, I think we have plenty of nations (and a decent load for me to handle, I think). Later, I may reopen it to anyone who wants to join.
I also think taking up a new nation if yours is conquered it fine by me (as long as it doesn't lead to anyone purposely killing off their nation).
