Because I released the new version, I want to start a new playtest here also. I still want to finish the other game, don't get me wrong, it is still a lot of fun.

Go here for the new versions of the files...

Pap

I would love to be in this. Another crack at the British if you take me.

The British it is, and I do owe you an apology for saying that your defense of the Isles was flawed. It was just that Britain was in a real bad spot.

Pap

It's OK. I did kinda mess up, I had never played Britain before in the scenario in single player. I wasn't ready for it, but now I think I can handle particularly with the new changes. Thanks for giving me another shot.

The Sun shall never set on the British Empire.

I had to fix a few things that slipped through Quality Assurance, so the QA manager, Pap, has been fired. If you already downloaded the scenario from my website, you need to download the below attactchment.

It is not big, it is just the actual scenario file.

Pap

i already told you.........just put that Pap on the Gallows!

Also i take the Yanks

*bump*

I'll take the schemeing Japs then.

damn, i wish i had the time. I'm simply playing too many games :(

Mordheim, you're in, start whenever you want, you don't have to wait for all the spots to be filled.

Pap

got drop guys, barely have any time, im finding that i've got more important things to do.

Just so you all know, I'm willing to be in both the 0.6 playtests, but only when the original ones begin to end. I was already at my limit of games a week ago and then I joined the eight-game Bonoparte tourney as a favor, so I'm too stretched to do five games of this time-consuming scenario.

If you are willing to wait (or if you have to), I'll be here. It looks like the civfan game will be over relatively soon, HB as well. Apolyton will probably last a long time though, but three is still better than five.

I say we just shot the old in the head. It's done, the British are finished, Russia is cracking, America isn't ready. We're done.

I'd be willing to end it but only if the others are.

I agree, Kill the old and start a new. Then I may play a new one but only if it is more balanced.

Aight Mordhiem, you can play the Jap turn anytime. I call the Soviets btw, the last couple of days have been so slow on both forums I guess I can manage to start playing in this one now.

Well guys the old is still going and unlike Darius, I dont need to be in any more PBEM's right now so Im out, if you need someone in the future let me know but Im afraid I couldn't keep the two versions straight right now. Boney Tourney has my head spinning currently.:D

I thought you weren't even in this one. :confused: Are you saying you are leaving the other game?

The usual blitz, though not quite as effective this time around. Those new AA batteries in every pacific city really chew up my ampibious attacks.

Cities captured include: Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Tarakan, Manila and Guam. No advances on the Chinese front. US navy obliterated at Pearl Harbour, also a carrier contingent north of Midway was found by pure luck and sunk by a submarine (might want to move wither the carrier stack or th sub Pap ;)).

Thanks for the idea Mordheim, I think I will move the carrier.
It'll give the Americans something to actually fight back with after the first turn of annihilation.

No Im just going to play in the old one, I would have played in this one but one game of this scenario is enough for me right now with the Boney Tourney going on. However when Pap comes up with the final version I want in. In the mean time Ill play the USA in the first one and continue my comments to help out Pap.:D

Axis advance throughout the Soviet Union!

Panzer divisions smash further into the Soviet Union and with combined bombing and artillery bombardment, the Axis made some gains into Soviet territory.

In North Africa, there was an attack on the defenses in the subrubs of Alexandria. Anti-Aircraft guns were destroyed in the impending attack of Alexandria.

Cities Taken:
Kharkov
Sevastopol
Novogrod

Do your worst Darius ;)

Pap

Just curious who is in this one and are there any spots open?

I'll take Russia.

Choke, I think Darius may have claimed Russia already?

Pap

Oh, I just looked at the top and saw an empty slot, in that case I guess I could take China...

Well update the top post, argh!

Choke, you are up.

Pap

So pap, is the second .scn file on this thread needed if I download from HB and not the old site? I'm confused.

PEKING CAPTURED!!!

The mighty Republican Army has liberated the capital! His Excellency President Chiang Kai-Shek (seen below) had this to say "We will never surrender, never retreat, I will take a rifle for myself to fight the barbarian invaders before I give an inch of ground. Peking shall never fly the cursed Rising Sun again."

http://www.newton.mec.edu/Angier/DimSum/dimsumimages/China%20Large%20people/chaing1.gif

Hanoi Emptied of Barbarian Troops
Republican Air Force bombers decimated the barbarian garrison in Hanoi and it is expected that northern Indo-China will be liberated next month. General Song, head of operations in the southern theatre, is quoted as saying "We will drive the barbarians from the mainland of Asia, we will not be content until there are no Japanese residing outside Japan."

and the turn:

BUMP for Voltar...

bump for Voltar... ya right. That info up top is wrong it's America's turn.

Voltar is right, don't know how I screwed that up, it is the Americans turn.

Japanese - Mordheim
Axis - Pap
Chinese - Choke
Americans - Academia
British - Voltar
Neutrals - AI
Soviets - Darius

Academia has taken over as the Americans.

Pap

Academia is, I'll call it for him before someone else does. :)

Academia it is.

Pap

Academia is, I'll call it for him before someone else does.
Well, it seems that is my turn in this PBEM... and i didn´t know that i was playing it :crazyeye:

Ok guys, i´ll use USA one more time :goodjob:

Ok. Some japanese vessels sank in the Pacific Ocean; and some nazi subs in the Atlantic.

ttt

error

Britain lashed out against the agressors in December. Upon hearing of Japans atrocious strike at Pearl Harbor and their many strikes throughout the south pacific. Britain declares war on Japan and prepares to repel the invaders.

A few minor actions against the Japanese result in a sunken submarine and transport.

In Europe Britain saw a great deal of success.

Bergen has been bombed and captured by an amphibious British landing force. Several German submarines have been sunk in the Atlantic, as well as a cruiser.

In Africa Britain saw the greatest sucess of all. Advancing German troops outside Benghazi were eliminated. Benghazi itself was strafed by RAF fighters with defending infantry, artillary and a few planes destroyed. In the mediterannian British ships operating out of Gibraltar has destroyed aforce south of Marseille with 12 units destroyed, another force west of Naples 7 units destroyed.
A cruiser outside malta was sunk. Two german Bf109s above Corsica have been shot down.

Voltar, try re-posting the save as Darius cannot pillage correctly, it might be a corrupt file, that is why Darius hasn't been able to play yet.

Pap

I don't see how his save could have anything to do with it, but why not.

Bump for finding a player for Russia or Darius being able to play or something.

Does anyone mind if I play the Russian turn?

Go for it Choke, just so we can get this thing moving a little bit.

Pap

Why doesn't he just take over Russia permanently?

No objections here.

Pap

I guess I could take over Russia, of course if someone else wants to play Russia later just say so...

Play on.

BUMP for Choke!

Pap

Sorry, I've figured out that I have the same problem so I can't play the Russians either, I think there must be something screwed up with either the save or the scenario.

It works for me, so I am going to post my Game.txt and my Labels.txt files.

Perhaps I sent a corrup file out or something, I don't know...

Pap

Nope, still doesn't work :(.

God, is something stupid like this going to kill a scenario? :( There has to be some explanation.

is everyone running the same Civ2 version?

I confirmed that CivII isn't even the issue, because the problem does not happen in any other scenario folder.

I guess this means that Pap needs to go through every change he made in the new version and see what could have caused the error.

The answer is just make sure you dont use a punctuation mark in the name of the scenario folder.

Giga ver06 is OK
Giga ver0.6 is NOT OK.

Windows recognizes the period as a file extension and does wierd things to a scenario?

But you guys would be better off to start a version 9 PBEM. Should be playable by this weekend. (January 18th)

Why'd you even dig up this thread? :p
