Game name: yet to be determined
Topic: NESers would play as generals in Germany during WW1
Basically the players enter as divisional commanders, which an NPC kaiser, CiC, General staff, and other generals, and work their way up the ladder through the war. Will you push for continued offensives and movement after Marne in order to avoid set trenches? Will you avoid the marne, instead launching a naval invasion on Britain, and sweeping from the north from normandy into paris? Or will you leave the west alone, and focus your wrath on Russia? Will you mass produce tanks to break verdun, and eventually Paris and london? Allies are up in the air, as Italy, ottomans, japan, and USA consider which side to join.
It would involve the general staff allocating resources and managing the industry and manpower of the nation. The players could influence this by either getting onto the staff through appointment by the chairman, through a string of impressive victories, or simply by gaining "influence" with the generals on the staff and staying out of the limelight yourself. gain influence by following anothers' plans, no matter how bad they be, and turning them into a victory. Come up with a brilliant plan, and let someone take credit for it. the possibilities are endless.
The map would focus on europe, with events simulating conflicts in africa, the pacific, and america. These will determine how many forces you allocate where, as well as troops from countries off the map such as japan, the commonwealth, and america. Currently thinking of 2 week turns.
Make suggestions, discuss, and let me know if you are interested. this will be the first NES I would possibly GM, so im open to any and all suggestions for the wars.
This was and still is inspired by LizNES5, Glory in the Sun, and Sonereal giving me the idea for a WW1 NES, war room style.
