Terence Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Which means, in a nutshell, that a new way to play CM is being developed by a most unlikely collection of freaks, losers and weirdos. Or rather, people just like you. Slapdragon gets the credit for this one. He's come up with a set of rules that will allow us to generate force lists and select pre-generated maps for CM battles. The milieu is the island paradise of Fea Cebola. And since we have nothing better to do, we are going the whole hog. Red and Blue sides will have flags, websites, and will write entertaining AARs and issue slightly less factual but probably more entertaining press releases on the conduct of the war. The war has something to do with magic onions, by the way. This rule set breaks down into a number of fairly detailed sections on troop quality, movement and so on. Do check out the General forum threads for more. http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=9&t=001732 and about half way through this http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=9&t=001693&p=4 Here's a Summary: 12 sturdy CM players are being into two teams. Each team votes on an Army leader. Each team is then allowed to pick a force of troops from the lists using points (which we will call Rials for the hell of it). That force will consist of a certain number of crack and elite troops (the Republican Guard), a bunch of Regulars (the Army) and a bunch of conscripts (the National Guard). These force choices will be negotiated with the GM to assure that they are balanced. The GM will publish a bunch of rules on handling politics, economy, and battles. Then the forces are divided and assigned to the Generals. Then the battles for the red and blue sides begin. We look forward to many nice battles, until CM:BB comes out, at which time we do this again with the Eastern Front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this some kind of sick play on a Donovan song? That's it, you pillock, I'm off to the Peng Challenge Thread to challenge your worthless arse. You apparently have too much time on your hands.

windstarz Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Can't wait for the reports to roll in. Which side is the good side and which side is the evil one? You might want to give us a propaganda briefing so we can start demonizing the bad guys. And shower heaps of praise on our gallant heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
