September, 1989

The Soviet Union and its allies in the Warsaw Pact, supported after much negotiation and concessions by China, Argentina and a few other smaller states, have begun a full-scale war against the forces of NATO and the United States. The Third World War, so long feared, has begun. Now, enterprising officers from around the world must take up arms in support of their leaders and their homelands, driving onward to victory!

Joining The Game:

....is simple. Just declare three things:

-Your faction(NATO or Warsaw Pact)
-Your color(Must not have yet been claimed by anyone in your faction)
-Your starting province(Must belong to your faction)

You must make a list in your signup post of the units in your army. You begin with one low-tier Infantry unit and one low-tier Light Ship.

Playing the Game:

Everyone commands a single army on the global map, represented by a circle of your chosen color, ringed in black to stand out. Your army can move up to three territories in one turn, and may contain up to 25 units. Customize as you will. Each of the available units counters another type - play this system well in order to be effective in your chosen area.

Su-25 Frogfoot(6 Strength, +10 vs. Tanks/Anti-tank/Heavy Ships/Submarines) 3IP

You may not purchase any additional units on the first turn.

If you are fighting on land, naval units cannot engage, and Naval command units will provide no bonus. However, they're not at risk from enemy fire. The same applies to land units if you are fighting at sea. On the other hand, if you lose all of your land/sea units, the others are instantly destroyed as well.

Aircraft function slightly differently from naval and land units. They can separate from the army temporarily and bomb an army in another province, then return to the army they launched from even if that army has moved. Or, the army can move first and THEN launch the planes. Fighters cannot attack any ground units, but Bombers can fight back against fighters and other bombers.

Building Units:

In order to build units, you must have been allocated funds by your faction leader. You may use however much in the way of funds you have been allocated, and not a single IP more. Each territory produces 1IP, save the Capitals(marked with a large black dot) which produce 3.

Faction Leader:

The Warsaw Pact's Secretary General and NATO's Chairman have ironclad control over how the funding of their faction is divided up. They can award IP to commanders in order to boost their ability to wage war, or they can use it themselves to construct Nuclear Weapons.

Faction Leaders may also spend IP to convince neutrals to align with their faction. Each IP is a 10% chance that the neutral will ally with you. Mexico(North Mexico/South Mexico), Brazil(Brazil/Amazonia) and Indonesia(Java/Borneo/New Guinea) are the only NPCs which possess multiple regions. They are harder to sway to your side than 1-province NPCs, with each IP only representing a 5% chance.

Every 5 turns, the Faction Leader comes up for reelection in both sides. At this point, the game is paused for a week while all Commanders vote in their specific Faction's elections to produce their next Chairman or General Secretary. Running for a second term is allowed.

The first Chairman and General Secretary will be determined randomly when the first turn(Winter 1989) begins.

If a player is disliked by his Faction Leader, the Faction Leader may start a kick vote. If the majority of his players vote in favor of the kick, then the player is banned from this Faction unless a Faction Leader repeals the ban. They may at that point defect to the other team, but only if a similar vote on the other team accepts them. For example: if Lighthearter is kicked from the Warsaw Pact, he may contact NATO and request to take up arms with them. Chairman Whatshisface of NATO will then start a vote on whether to allow Lighthearter in or not. If the answer is yes, Lighthearter begins his NATO career in New England with a default starter army. Note that NATO is required to hold the vote on whether to accept Lighthearter - they can't just say "nope."

Nuclear Weapons:

Nukes cost 5IP and can only be constructed by the Faction Leader. They may be fired at a province at any time. A province hit by a nuke has its income value decreased by 1 permanently. A nuked province will change color to represent its status as a barren wasteland. A capital hit with a nuke will see its marker decrease substantially in size after the first hit, disappear after the second, and finally the province will change color after the third. Any army of either faction caught within the blast radius of a nuke will lose a significant portion of its forces, so be wary.

Nuclear missile launches and targets MUST be public. If I am PM'd nuclear launch orders, I will immediately put them in the thread.

Winning the Game:

In order to win the game, you must reduce the enemy to less than 10 provinces, while having either captured or destroyed their Capital.

Let the Third World War begin!

1) We aren't nations, we a military commanders. Yes, I know, semantics, but still.

2) You wouldn't neccesarrily be overrun. Only the Caribean would be able to get to you on turn one. After that, the NATO Supreme mucky-muck can allocate the troops needed to defend Washington. Our capitol. WHICH IF FALLS, WE WILL LOSE.

I love it. NATO won initiative, positioned their units the best they could have...and we still won hands down.

Bring it, capitalist pig-dogs.

Execpt that, you know, I crushed you like the bug you were last battle AND the rolls these battles were very close IE one point differences. So stop acting so smug before I crush you again in the Third Battle.

NATO: 1 Soviet: 1

I'm acting smug precisely because it was so close- you got to arrange your units so that it was designated NATO counters vs Pact forces. I will see you next turn.

He was banned for stating his opinion.
LH, not in this game, but consider this a boycott of all your forum games. I support HJ.

Not because I'm taking a side but because I think this was immature. It's one thing to voice dissatisfaction for a GM you're actually in, another thing altogether to jump into a thread where neither of you were players to derail the thread.

I'm with Son here. There is no excuse to come into this thread for the express purpose of complaining about something that doesnt involve you.

...

I feel I have every right to support fellow CFCers, JC does too. I was not trying to be immature.

What does blacklisting mean anyway? Does that mean I cannot play IOTs? Because that would be unfair, there are some fun-looking games out there, and there would be no way to enforce that anyway. Does that mean I cannot GM IOTs? Once again, no way to enforce. Does that mean I am viewed as Dommy 2.0? Somebody obviously views me differently, there are tens of IOTers.

It may have been immature, but I was just doing what I felt was right. No offense intended to anyone.

It just means that he is black listing you from his games, of which there are none currently.

I am, after hearing both sides and reading the chat log, lifting my boycott of LH's games ( though not returning to Defcon)

Lighthearter
Feb 26, 2012, 11:49 PM
What it means, SK, is that you are banned from all of Son's games until and unless he lifts it.

Now, kindly either join the game or stop posting in this thread. If you have further comments, please take them to VM or PM.

As a note, this entire scenario is also a banned topic in SSD chat and, from my understanding, SonIOT as well(though I may be wrong.)
