Dragon, Come on man, this is beginning to sound like a funeral. There are still people playing the game !! SC-PBEM-league is flourishing big time. Me and Curry are even discussing to let people play TCP/IP in the league.

SC2

I'm sorry, me non comprende , me stupido as Dragonheartos , me want to help but no italiano , scusi

Fever!!

So you finally popped the big one he Edwin? I sure hope he does.

To keep things a bit more balanced whouldn't it be good to have the African part of France remaining French after the surrender of the French? The UK should be able to get reinforcements there on time.Axis would have to choose between Egypt and Algiers. Could be interesting to see in SC2.

Thanks for the tips Zappsweden,playing the Allies is very difficult,lots of luck involved.I'm sure this will be a great help for many players.

Just the events,not the gameplay,relax

Yep,1936 maybe is a bit early,depends on how much time a turn would cover. But the idea itself is good.SC2 should become more like HOI but then with hexes and turn-based. Starting in let's say aug 1937 will give way to tons of events for all the countries involved and will add a lot the game. A historical 1939 with historical events should also be included. Just my 2 cents.

Anyone interested in playtesting a mod I made? I gave it a few runs against the ai but it's mainly meant to be played against a human opponent. I'm still writing up the documentation that goes with it but it starts from the premise that WWI didn't end in 1918.All majors are already activated except for the US who should stay neutral. Germany,Turkey,Denmark,Hungary and the Baltic States are lined up against France,UK,Romania,Iraq and Russia. No airfleets are on the map and I would include a houserule not to build any. Also no tech investements should be made. Some tech levels were granted to the majors in area's as tanks and rockets. This is the first mod I made and I'm not at all sure if it's balanced right. So some feedback would be greatly appreciated

Penfold, Go ahead,put your money on the counter and go home a reassured man.Feed the dog,tell the wife to take the visa and go shopping,get some cold beers and some siggies and let the ai slap you in the face on expert +2 setting.Then learn the mechanics and beat him back. Then come play a real game of SC. Welcome

If these nations are friendly to Germany than Axis must benefit from these countries,receive mpp's. As it is now there's no benefit,so Axis player must attack,he needs the plunder for Barbarossa.

My feelings exactly. Keep the strictly SC stuff here and do the silly talk at the new site.Everybody will benefit. Hey, I even hope Hubert,Moon and Madmatt will visit the new forum.

Yep inflation is a real pain. I have to save for a few months to get me a game. But if the quality is up there, I don't mind. Consider how much SC saved you money.It did for me anyway. If SC2 comes out I really won't look at the price,just long enough to determine how long it's gonna take before I can place my order.

Mmm, looks like my euro sign transformed itself into a cube!

One has the means of informing himself before actually purchasing you know. Magazines,forums,online reviews,demo's. Try to be a smart buyer,prevent buying games you won't get in to. I really don't mind spending 50€ on a game like SC,it has saved me at least 200€ in the pub and has made sure I've grown to like this community. Btw,29,99 pounds (45€) for Korsun is a bargain. I'll be sure to be that game when it comes out over here,even for 50€.

Just ETO with a bigger map would be perfect. Add a few unit types (not too much),a Russian winter,reduce the air strenght and.... an event engine Hoi-style. With these things I would never ever play another game.

Got to say I agree with Liam here. Why ruin a good thing? Somehow I get the feeling it may already be too late

Agreed on SC2,US should start with more tech and more mpp's. In Sc how it is today it's easy to fix,just include US in the bid. Like 1:3:6 or 1:4:6.

If Turkey joins the fighting on either side the situation in the Middle-East and the med can change. Maybe make the starting positions for Italy and UK in the med a bit stronger from the beginning. This would ofcourse not be historical. Problem is there's almost no supply and no room. We need a bigger map.Especially North-Africa needs improving and then the Middle-East will automatically become more important.

Putting this back up. New players still welcome

Can't wait.

Don't underestimate the Austrians,they are known for compulsive behaviour!

Btw,wasn't JJ playing an uber game with a campaign by Narayan?I rember it had a HUGE OoB.

I used to play Fall Weiss exclusively,now I'm enjoying more and more scenario's. It breaks the routine and many of them are real fun.New tactics,new units,lots of new situations. Fall Gelb,Barbarossa,WWI campaign,they're all different and ask for another approach. People should give these campaigns a try.For some it could mean renewed interest in the game.
