The turns take up to 24 hours per, so a game can last weeks, but usually lasts a few days or so. Once you register there, go to the [instructions](http://www.conquerclub.com/public.php?mode=instructions1) section. It has 5 subsections that explains everything. There are 8, I think, maybe 7, of us who have been playing on that site since January. Personally, I love it.

I signed up on the site (as “twickster,” of course), but don’t see how to join the game. I guess it’s started already?

I signed up for an account, but it looks like I shouldn’t join a game until I get back from vacation. But I will join in then.

Your turn **Anyrose.**  
I always tend to be online around 12-2am EST, so that’s most likely the times that I’ll be taking my turn unless I’m just bored and lurking on the Risk Boards, as this site looks really fun!

Gah, I want in, but I can only have 4 games at a time. ☹

So I’m stuck as I’m not dying anytime soon… or so I think. Maybe in 3 days?

Okay, I’m in. Another first-timer.

I think I understand the unlimited fortifications. Does that mean in the free move at the end of your turn you can move armies from any territory to another as long as they are linked by territories you own?

After reading the rules again, it sounds like you can do that as many times as you want.
