Sent you an email.
hmmm that would be good if the us can choose sides. but lets say US joins germany in WWI i think it would have some impact on WWII (if germany wins maybe there wont be a World war 2)
Or France was the crazy/phyco power that takes over europe? But i can see why it would cause a problem with balance of the game.
Look at it this way, if Germany and USA were together ALONE, their total IPC count would be over 80 IPCs. This is without factoring in the Ottoman Empire or the Austrians (giving the Central Powers an IPC count of at least 100 IPCs). You can see how unbalanced things would be.
And because of that, a smart Italian player would never join the Allied Powers which would cause the game to shift totally into the Central Powers’ favour. The Americans could easily devastate the Allied Powersby taking Canada, Gibraltar, Western France and even the British Isles themselves. This would knock out Britain and make France very vunerable to the Germans who could easily execute the Van Schlieffen plan and throw all their forces at Russia, who would quickly collapse.
Just posting an update as to how the scenario is coming along: The playtesters have given me feedback and I’m now working on ironing out a few problems. I hope to put it up and publicize it soon.
can you tell us how a game went?
yo with tanks, is there no tanks at the beginning? because the Brits invented tanks in 1916… i think. And then the other countries developed them. so do the Brits get them like turn 3 and the others get them turn 4?
how do you simulate the stalls of trench warfare?
TG played a game against TM but he is being reluctant to post the results of the game. For tanks, they have to be researched. As for trench warfare, I’ve created a territorial imporvement, kinda like an IC, called a trench that affects the battles that take place in the territory. France and Germany have them in order to make the Western Front realistic. From what I heard, the playtesters really liked the game which is good, because I hate to thin kthat I wasted my time.
and this is on an aae map or your own map?
Yah, it’s real fun except things get a bit cluttered up a times. :)
it wuld be good with Ralph’s europe map
It’s my own modification of Der Panzinator’s Advanced AAE map.
cna you post it ?
Once I’m done playtesting the scenario and I finish creating everything needed for it. Then I’ll post it all.
OK 8)
So basically you can help by yelling at the playtesters such as TG to hurry up and try the updated rules.
LOL, ok TG HURRY UP AND TRY THE NEW RULES!
I hope that gets TG’s attention, or maybe TM will come online one of these days and see it.
you should PM him
