By preview, we mean preview. As in, we don't even really know what we're doing yet. This is a "gauge interest" thread. We don't even really have a ruleset yet. But we're just throwing out an idea since, hey, you know, why not? Nothing to lose except pride, and frankly that's not worth much on the market these days.
Also, the title's just a placeholder. It's pretty lame.
The basic premise is this: A lot of NESes nowadays have been pretty, you know, macro. You run a whole country, by yourself. You work with the whole world and it's pretty grandiose in scale. dldnjstjr and I want to try a more micro NES.
The concept is this: The world is standing on the eve of destruction. Fall Weiss has been initiated two days ago. It is September 3, 1939. The United Kingdom has just declared war on the Third Reich.
How will things go from here? Well, we'll leave it to the players to find out.
The big twist though, is this: Only two countries are open. The player can be playing for Germany, or he can play for Great Britain. Each person will literally be a person; he can do his own independent thing within the game world. The way we envision this working is somebody can be Hitler and the others can be the generals under him; likewise for Britain.
All the other countries will be NPCed. You can argue about tactics within yourselves, do whatever. Maybe even a chain of command can be set up.
But of course none of this would be possible without you, the player. And so we invite you to try this out. A co-modded NES.
And contrary to the idea of a Never Ending Story, this game will end when WWII ends.
Everything subject to change, including the date. dldnjstjr wants right before the Fall of France, but I was too lazy to change what I wrote.
