A few years back, Rolling Thunder ran a couple of games that started on turn 25, with 25 turns of stockpiles, and was an open ended game. The games were quite fun, and the advanced start meant a huge difference in battle sizes at the start. Russ says if there is interest, he would happily run another, anybody out there want to play in one?

Baltic States game 45(RIP)
