What're you K-worth?Desert Dave;Let me see if I understand this. You are angry...
Active member of RNC these days?
(... IE, Republican National Committee
whoso j'accuse! ANYBODY who
disagrees with their, ummm, authoritarian
agenda, as being angry or traitor
or some damn fool thang
)Enuff of that guff stuff!
I ain't enny
Crudely fashioned Voo-Doo Doll
You ken stick
Ball-hat-pins in.
Pardon me,Just a correction here regarding my mod. The force pool is essentially the same as A3R with the same number of units. The map scale is doubled to account for no stacking in SC2.Carry on.
(... I guess I was comparing
To # of units in SC-2?)
Sir.
-
LOL,Desert Dave, LarsYou guys just don’t get it.
Well,
I won't speak for Lars
As he is MORE than able
To state his own case,
And needs no help from me
Or that peripatetic Bromley,
Or anyone else for that matter, yep,
He is apparently - inner directed.
(... see below)
I must admit... there are THOUSANDS
Of things that I don't "get," ah,
Perhaps it is that I am... stupid?
Since some folks suppose there IS
Such a thing?
IE: WRT Humans, and not O/W.
Which is ridiculous if not absurd,
But,
That's how they like to look at the world,
With mule-blinders on, so to speak.
However, here
It is abundantly UN-clear
Just... what it is that I don't - get?
Maybe the next few quotes will
Provide the clues?
ANYTHING "could have been" somethingThis game should have been better...Other than what it was.
Should have been
Is a whole 'nother smoke, Jamoke.
Better? - sure, there's an ideal!
No thing is EVER... perfect.
Except for... the London Werewolf's hair,
That is.
That it often is not perfect,
Or anything at'all - was not - whose
"Fault" is that?
CANNOT be Hubert,
As you would surely hesitate
To venture that HE
Could've failed everyone so awfully,
True?
So,
As several others have also implied,
Earlier and only recently,
It must be!
The Play Testers. :eek:
Now!
We are narrowing it down, at last!
Bill and I have been there the longest,
So it must be us.
Yet... wait!
You revere Bill's work
(... as we will soon see)
So... it must be - me!
I am not only paranoid
And Emotive!
I AM... stupid. :cool:
Like my Mom's Brother, my Uncle,
Who was the gentlest,
Kindest Human I have ever met
In ALL these VERY long years
Of my one and only life.
Wish I could live up to that,
But,
Alas... haven't yet, mea culpa.
Hmmm, I do believe that's what IS occuring... and still can be better if we continue to offer good suggestions to Hubert.Right this very moment,
Ain't it?
I have.Just have a look at pzgndr Advanced Third Reich scenario for SC2.He first sent it to me 6 months ago.
He is the best map-maker on the board,
Bar none.
IMHO.
YOU!For start look how map is made.Who ADORE that Third Reich game,
Can notice - can you not?
That it does NOT have the SAME scale.
Bill's is... ~ TWICE as large,
Has... ~ TWICE as many units!
Imagine that.
No it shouldn't.This is how map should have been in all original SC2 scenarios IMO.IMHO.
~50/60 miles per tile is,
Like the Baby Bear's porridge,
Just right!
For a WW-2 GS game.
Who, I wonder, was crying
The Kansas City Blues
(... over at that OTHER forum, which
we won't mention HERE, eh? Though we WILL
mention SC-2 over there, and, accidentally
or no - due to Tower of Babel
difficulties, not so favorably)
About how LONG the game would take
To play,
Should such & so be implemented,
I forget what that such & so was,
But,
Actually - don't give a damn
What the hell it was.
Can you imagine how long it would take
To play - PBEM, or
HeadhunterVSHeadhunter
If the map was... ~25 miles per tile?
With ~ twice as many units?
And besides, you also revere
Third Reich the board-game
In all 3 or 4 of it's manifestations,
So why? would you want ALL scenarios
To be twice as large as that game anyway?
Find the quote vveedd,The easiest way is to say “This game is good as it can be”.Where ANYBODY ever said such a thing,
And post it here in this thread.
I myself have never seen it
Stated - no way, no how.
Maybe you can find it - good luck on that!
Well,Of course, this is only my opinion, your right is to disagree.It ain't enny "right"
That is granted by some Authority.
It is inherent in the human condition.
See,
As Riesen has detailed for us
In his X-cellent book:
"The Lonely Crowd,"
We have mostly become a group/tribe/clan
Of... followers.
(... more exactly, "outer-directed"
instead of "inner-directed," OR... as Abe
Maslow would have it - notso capable
of "self-actualization"... now all of that
is inside baseball - to me, so I leave it
at this: folks seems to CRAVE some sort
of guidance from - "above," or
sans that, here below, often, from some
Bad Cat thinks he knows it all, see what
I mean here? As them "good Germans"
did... as oppposed to, deliberately,
and even - to the bitter dead end, saying
what they REALLY think, and feel, WITHOUT
ANY
cues or prompting from ANYBODY else,
and etc)
Better for whole dying World
Should we be more akin
To them what lived in
American Frontier, 19th Century.
And then!
Commence to consider ourselves
As capable of... damn near ANYTHING,
'Stead of accepting
What is shoved down our throats,
And thence, what else?
Just... do it. :cool:
Read the fine print, Brother.It is a free cyberspace.Have a good long look around.
THAT statement is very nearly
False - now.
Give it another 10 years.
It won't ONLY be
The FBI/Interpol or
Geometrically increasing "Derivatives"
Of same devious devise,
Or, the MegaCorps
Who are spying on you.
Leaving cookie crumbs
All over the shrinking table space,
It'll be... everyone
Who doesn't believe,
Nope,
Not... for... ONE... freaking SECOND,
That they are... stupid.
THOSE are the ones we actually gotta
Watch out for.
IMHO.
Alright, enough of this,
I am done with it.
(... off-screen, faint-ly
now... "yay, hooray!" LOL!

"Unrealistic" is, IMHO, howIn all my posts you have quoted I was right and only said my opinion. If you are offended with words stupid or unrealistic I am sorry but this is my opinion.Often the World can be.
"Stupid"
(... when referring to a living,
breathing Human in being)
I REALLY don't like
Cuz that's how "smart" folks
Used to refer to my "mentally challenged"
Uncle.
Heard it,
Didn't like it,
Did my best to kick *ss,
No matter the relative size
Of the bully involved, and, then,
Went on to home
And found that dark, quiet corner,
Beat up some - but glad inside
I had stuck up for him.
So,
Referring back to an earlier comment,
I suppose you COULD say
That I am indeed, a'times,
"Emotional."
My apologies for making all of this MORE
Than what it might have been,
Were I more... "judicious"
In word choice, my ownself.

Well, Bromley,I'll answer for vveedd...The Man - manages to speak up,
Whatever the lingua franca,
For - himself, pretty doggone good,
Should you ask me.
A Feisty SC kinda Cat
All right :cool:
And that's how you survive
In the "Spenserian" war-gaming world,
For sure!
No shortage of stout,
Near... devout, opinions
Here! LOL!

a one
... anna 2There are many games and improvements possible which have examples in many different genres.
Not if yer "pointing" specificallyTo point at "one game" means pointing in half a dozen directions...(... or, inferring, implying, well,
you catch the drift)
By name,
At SC-2.
Look, everybody, just... forget it.
I am delusional.
I am paranoid.
I am emotive.
I am Stranger
In a strange land.
I am overly protective of this turf
I have fought all across.
Whatever.
Perhaps this is,
As many things are,
Quite like the infamous California city
Of San Jose,
(... to para phrase G. Stein)
"There isn't any - THERE,
there."
-
A feisty SC Cat,
I like that,
Especially,
Say - the Brother the one fox-hole over
Is eating AK-47 jackets for lunch.
Yep, stand-up is... old school.Thanks for advice Desert Dave but no, I will not quit.Quitting... ain't so bold, or cool.
Think - what if?
Armstrong the champ American Biker
Or ennybody else afflicted
With Cancer for that matter... just quit,
And didn't wrestle that dirty-dog
Devil of a scoundrel
Down to the Ground?
Though, here, that wasn't my intent.
I meant - QUIT!
Bad mouthing SC-2!
Ah, you don't EVEN do that, eh?
Well, let's select out a few samples:
__________________________________
"In SC2 game (sorry for mentioning this game again) I have had very, very stupid situation. AI tried invasion on Norway without HQ unit (quick explanation: HQ unit gives supplies to units and it is only source of supply if you don’t have port or city) and invasion failed. It withdraw unit in mountain tile and stack there with supply at 0. I pay no attention to this unit and it stayed there until end of game!! This is total unrealistic and stupid situation."
_________________________________________
Crimeney, there's that STUPID sh*t again!
(... twice in one short 'graph, you said it)
Who is stupid, in this instance?
Because,
You CANNOT have a "stupid situation"
Without some somebody having
Made it so?
Can you?
Think?
___________________________________
"Nevertheless, this movement rule is now my bigger concern then swapping. Is it possible to move all units first and then attack? Please don’t tell me that you have exactly the same movement rule as SC2 game: move and attack (or vice versa) but if you move unit and deselect it you can’t attack anymore with this unit."
________________________________
Please!
Don't have it like that OTHER game,
Which we don't gotta mention EVERY time,
Since we've been done it often enough
That folks must surely wonder?
This feisty kinda Cat has got
Third Reich on the brain?
Sunshine, sturm, drang or, rain.
__________________________________
"Hm, hm remember Strategic Command 2 bad amphibious concept. I asked about amphibious assaults earlier but it was too early I suppose. Now we got something but still information’s are incomplete."
___________________________
Bad?
Well,
This very word choice MIGHT? indicate
That the Author has low opinion?
Of that 3rd Reich game?
I believe you.I love this game like you and participating in making from beginning of SC1. I will continue make suggestions until Hubert says “I am done with this game”. Even then I will try to give some suggestions in case that Hubert decides to start make Strategic Command 3.Yet, that is not the general issue
Just now under discussion,
"Bad-mouthing," in particular, is.
Let's take a moment and consider:
It's a given in Show Business
(... many other places too, but I'll select
an area I happen to know fair thee well)
That ANY publicity is good publicity,
Even if it be... terrible,
Horrible, monstrous or bad.
OTOH,
Should some stray soul wander in and read
Such stuff as you've said above,
Rather,
The WAY in which you have said it,
I wonder?
Would they say, hmmmm,
That game MUST be WORTH buying?
I wonder.
Two diametrical points of view.
You choose.
Given the two choices
(... and not the myriad many
that are POSSIBLE in between, I mean)
Which would most likely be the case.
First part - check, me too....and I am playing strategy games all my life (and this is long time, believe me ). Second part - check, mate, and alas,
Where went that - tweet-tweet!
"Sweet Bird Of Youth,"
Mister Tennessee?
lol
I SAID, should you examine more closely,Traitorous? Your paranoid logic “If you are not with us, you are against us” is just what I said – paranoid or you are, maybe, just too emotional.That some folks MIGHT
Begin to get
That idea, IE, that you are, like
Janus, having another
Face - at the back of yer head.
And naw,
I ain't "paranoid" - Man, there simply CANNOT
Be any reason
For that... heightened awareness,
I prefer to call it,
IF we must use these usually ill-understood
Sorts of "arm-chair" diagnoses,
Can there?
Given the events of the last 50 odd years
In this the land I was born in,
Since
House UN-American Activities Committee
Became posse comitatus,
Anyhow.
Key word being - posse.
Whoso! chase and yell and sometimes
Lynch.
For no good reason, a'times.
Maybe they ain't like - STUPID people?
As for emotional... well, there
You'd get some kinda vigorous argument
From my wife,
Who has said it once!
If not 10,000 times!
"You are just too too stoic,
Where ever do you go?"
I tell her,
5,000 times - I am just old Alley Cat
Has got belly-scratched,
And same as that sort of cat,
Whenever wounded or "out of it,"
As we usta say back in the day,
I'll go find a dark, quiet corner
And lick my own wounds.
OTOH,
I CAN be "emotive," now & again,
And,
From what I ken gather,
So can 99% of those on this very forum!
Perhaps... better to live it outWe are on same side.Like... a free floating
Mote of Dandelion fluff,
Which has - no sides.
Though,
Somebody here could probably demonstrate
Undeniably!
On some sort of scatter graph
Or hi-tech slide rule
Or a real swell bell-curve,
EVEN that ain't true.
Kidding around aside, and again,
Yep, we are after one and the same thing.
A better 'n better SC-2!
So, I say again - it would be more, ummmm,
Judicious of you
Not to keep saying
Over and over and over and over
And over!
How... stupid, bad, stupid
And so on and so forth,
Ad nauseum,
That THIS particular game is.
Now,
You see what I'm gettin' at?
Feisty Cat? :cool:
-
vveedd,
Just a kind of friendly suggestion.
QUIT!
Running over to that other board
And shouting all over the place!
About how terrible this or that feature
Is... with SC-2.
How THEY should avoid making
The same sort of mistakes, and etc,
See what I mean?
You CAN make your points,
Here, there and anywhere
WITHOUT constantly mentioning
Or comparing with SC-2, true?
Personally,
I get a bit disgusted by that,
Since I have put damn near 5 years
Of my - one and only life
Into helping make THIS game
The best it can be
(... small contributions,
and certainly no more than MANY others
here have also done over the years).
Hubert has staked his own life,
His very livelihood,
On making, and improving this game,
When,
I have no doubt,
He could be making a LOT more $$$
Using his considerable talent and skills
In some other fashion.
And so,
Here's the thing.
Sooner than later folks are gonna get the idea
That you are being, ummm, two-faced
And even... traitorous,
Since very many - not merely me,
Have a REAL "rooting interest"
In seeing Hubert succeed, and,
Do well enough that he would choose
To CONTINUE improving this great game.
Know what I mean?

-
They can land - anywhere and everywhere!Because stray units can't do anything unless you get them back in supply.And occupy a vacant city.
Which is... un-real, at least, to me.
Now, IF we should have a Militia/Security
Sort of inexpensive unit, well,
Then I wouldn't care how many
Expensive Amphib Ops you might undertake.
As is,
For the Axis most especially,
There are, at this SCALE, too many
Locales to cover.
I think you are down-playing the scale here.
And,
Not allowing for the actual problem,
Which is, as stated,
The casual manner in which a player
Can just throw Corps all over the place.
If it was hamlet to 'ville,
Sure,
Straggling vagabonds would indeed
Be able to make a SIGNIFICANT difference,
Combat wise.
But ~50 miles per tile?
Anyway,
My best guess?
You'll have your status quo.
Though,
Never can tell, especially
If enough folks clamor for a thing.
-
Valid point, Lars, and yet... if removed,Originally posted by Lars:No capable of offensive operations sure, but still an army. Get them back in supply and they're good to go.
I think the game is better with that latent threat there than just having 250,000 men magically disappear. You want them gone, go kill them.
I would also argue,
It would have the added benefit
Of eliminating a lot of that
Stray and VERY a-historical
Sort of helter-skelter "amphib Ops."
Commandos or Paras could do it,
But that is - what?
A Brigade, at most?
This business of launching VERY expensive
Amphibs and floating
Corps, or even Armies all over
The 7 Seas,
Is one thing I really don't care for.
Many have made a good point
WRT to D-Day, for instance,
Just how daunting a task
That in itself was,
In terms of planning/logistics.
Why allow "stray units"
(... other than Partisans)
To cause such potential mayhem?

-
Possibly, but then,A army could too if it did nothing else.They wouldn't - in any militia
Sort of sense,
BE... an "army," would they?
More like a straggling band of vagabonds.
Many accomplished and respected war games
Simply... removes the unit.
I would also favor doing just that.
Bill has a good point,
WRT to varying turn lengths,
So... make it a specific # of days/months,
No matter what the "game time."
No matter you are playing macro or micro
Kinds of scenarios.
Maybe a new acronym - CtC,
"Cut the clutter," eh?

And, most especially having NEVER

Gets done, I mean.
VERY strange to me
That there are, apparently, some folks
Who suppose that they know
The difference... between
Smart & stupid, and,
Strangest of all!!
Are so... absolutely surely
SURE of it,
I mean.

Thanks for the most generous offer, Jeff.
You have already done plenty,
And I appreciate it.
Not to worry,
I'll get back to it... eventually, no doubt.
You know how it can be... a'times
You need take a break
So to see the "big picture"
In a smaller, finer frame

-
Yet again!Originally posted by Colin I:Dave,
Absolutely - Italy should have some chance of surrender as soon as Allies land on the mainland - be it by capturing any city or whatever metric you choose. Lots of Italian Royalists were only to glad to see the back of Mussolini.
To counterbalance a serious (but realistic) Axis disadvantage perhaps increase Italian forces (significant if used well - as it was with Rommel, but fragile) AND give Germany a few more advantages (I favour return to three HQ; German command and control was a great asset).
I was actually wondering if diplomacy system could be used here. After a country enters war you normally stop using the system for that country. Perhaps it changes to a national morale track that shifts with victory, defeat and (perhaps) even diplomacy of another kind when very shaky. After all, in the last days of the war even the Germans were being (unofficially) approached about surrender. This makes it more interesting for minors, less predictable than the loss of your capital though obviously this would have a major effect. I'm not saying you can Diplo a country into surender UNLESS its in big trouble in other ways.
But another!
Superb suggestion, Colin I... ! :cool:
LOTS of potential
In them there Diplo AND Event
And maybe even NEW!
Scripts - not now known!
Not to mention,
As you, apparently, very, well appreciate,
There... ARE NO LIMITS
To what might, finally,
Become... THE most amazing!
Game
EVER created.
WW-2 GS-wise & turn-based, I mean.
**For Solo players,
Same as for 'em head-hunters too! :cool:

Solution could be fairly simple,Originally posted by n0kn0k:Giving up England is a feature of the game, nothing fishy about that. That's why capital movement was put in
However taking the island and leaving a capital open as was described is really really gamey imho. I wonder if there's a solution on the development side to counter such things. Maybe if the convoy mechanics change
OK, OK, I'll knock!
Upon - the Green Door! :cool:
[... since it is that YOU know
MORE about what's goin' on
'round SC Town than I do, LOLOL!

There's an old piano
And they play it hot behind the green door
Don't know what they're doin'
But they laugh a lot behind the green door
Wish they'd let me in
So I could find out what's behind the green door
(Knocked once, tried to tell them I'd been there)
(Door slammed, hospitality's thin there)
(Wonder just what's goin' on in there)
Saw an eyeball peepin'
Through a smoky cloud behind the green door
When I said "Joe sent me"
Someone laughed out loud behind the green door
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door

And so, hip Bo trip, onward we git:
**There are AI Script "mechanics"
That provide for "tactical advantage/threat."
You know, IF so & so is facing
This dis-advantage,
Then some events don't happen,
Like that there.
SO... use something similar, IE,
IF a Nation, Major or Minor or
Militia Middling,
Finds itself in the throes of overwhelming
Bad Cat catastrophe,
Has odds of, let's say - 4 to ZERO against,
(... assuming some sort of "gamey"
exploit, as with above account
of shenanigans down in them nomad sands
of old Egypt)
THEN... the non-god
Blessed Nation would... capitulate,
And the Capital/Country
Would automatically
Revert to the conqueror,
And all that would usually ensue,
Duly ensues, IE,
Plunder and discord and removal of units.
Now,
Good thing about this here,
T'would ALSO serve to solve
Another much-debated issue,
A one that I too believe should/could
Be included in this ever-improving game.
Italy.
Once Fort Capuzzo falls in 1940, woooops!
I mean,
Once the number of Allied forces
In Sicily and, pushing on
Up from the bottom of the boot
Reaches a certain degree of magnitude,
A certain "tacital advantage,"
Which may be as low as 2 to 1
EVEN if we give the benefit of the doubt
THEN Italy capitulates.
It's a simple matter of including
An extra parameter or two
In the appropriate AI scripting.
How hard that would be?
And IF Hubert would even wish to do it,
Remains to be seen,
As with all else WRT game development.
BTW... most beneficial
The never-ending Myth das ist Terif,
And too, many other Et-als,
As with the @-Man, rambo jr,
Do indeed play out these helter-skelter,
Ram-around, ring-a ding a' Kong-along
Kind of games,
So antidotes might be implemented.
We'll see what we will see,
As somebody once said.
Who? What multitude?
LOL, as if... THAT remotely matters.

Any ideas about this situation?
in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Posted
What a water wonder land!
Well,
We don't live it out so bad,
MUCH drier, and yet,
There is that Rio Grande river
Where you can raft the white-waters
From Taos Canyon
All the way to Santa Fe!
What a grand adventure, though,
You gotta NOT get toppled over
Due to the tremendous under-tow.
Anyway,
Here is a PIC of the wife & I dancing
To the rip rousing tune
Of - "Happy Days are Here Again!"
On the veranda of our adobe hacienda
(... we have turquoise colours splashed
all around our doors & windows - see,
it's an old Spanish antidote so to keep
them Diablos, IE, "devils" - out!):
Then we had first learned
SC-2 had - gone gold!
(... hmmm, either that or it was then
we had listened to the 2006 American Congressional
election results on that amazing blue-bird radio!)
Gold! Like the sun hereabouts!
Yep,
362 out of 365 days a year
We get that crystal brilliant! sun shining mighty
Fine mystics onto the high desert!

BTW,
Since you like motion pictures,
We just viewed DVD recently
Of a truly inspiring film,
HIGHLY recommended!
"Paris Texas,"
Directed by that great GErman
Stage Magician,
Wim Wenders,
Starring - Harry Dean Stanton
And Natasia Kinski,
And written by Sam Shepard
With co-assistance from Kit Carson.
It's about... no, never mind,
I'd rather you see it as though possessed
With praeternatural eyes, nope, don't
Want to give away
EVEN - one fabulous frame of it!
