Back in the day, there was a scenario for PTW by Yurt called WorldWideWar2 v1.1 . Both me and my friend have found this to be a great balance between relaism and playabilty in a global World War 2 setting. The scenario is in weeks, so you can defeat your opponents far before August of 1945, but these small details can be forfeited for the great playability this game provides.

This scenario is set on December 8th, 1941, a day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Both sides are locked in an epic struggle for victory. Both me and my friend, Ryan, have played countless games of this scenario in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Due to the stupidity of the AI, we have won as both Axis and Allies. Now we were wondering if anyone would care to play a PBEM game of this to make it more interesting by having opponents who aren't idiotic computer players.

Though this scenario is basically the same as when it was released, we have made many modifications. For starters, we had to decrease the number of civs to make it playable in multiplayer mode. To do this we simply combined Turkey, swden, and some south america nations and made them into the "Nuetral Nations". Units were updated to work with conquests, MPP's and Military Allainces were removed, and locked alliances were added. We also added some units from WW2 Pacific (namely Heavy Bomber and Atomic Bomb) and ported in a slightly modified Tech tree from that same conquest.

By the time this scenario starts, Germany has alreayd taken over all of europe, so the number of nations is dramatically decreased already, and the map size is "Huge". The nations and players for this scenario are:

1. Nazi Germany: Ryan
2. Great Britain: LostKnight
3. Soviet Union: Romeo
4. United States: --Looking for replacement - (previously Gnarf)
5. Japan: Me
6. China: Detlef
7. Neutral Provinces: Computer Player
8. Italy: Andy

NOTE: Due to technical problems on Gnarf's end of which neither him nor I could resolve, we are currently looking for a replacement player to play as the United States. Please see the download file below to get a feel for the starting situation of this scenario. Note that this is only for examination in the editor and is unplayable because i have not included the pediaicons or art files.



EDIT: We have decided to get rid of Free France and replace it with Italy, so it will be roughly 3 Axis vs. 4 Allies. However, if no one wants to play as italy or china, thats understandable. We would like, though, to have Britian, America, and Russia be human controlled.

If you would like to play, please post here or email me at bigbill0126@aol.com.

PLEASE NOTE: This scenario is not an original work. It is merely a modification and update of someone else's wonderful scenario. Because it would be both immoral and illegal, i will not post my modified scenario here for download to be played. But i will offer for download the biq file. It lacks all Art and Text files, so can't be played in Civ. It is meant for people to merely look at it in the editor, get a feel for the territories, nations, units, and techs. Hopefully this will help people decide if they would wish to take part in this pbem. The file is located here - Edit: ORIGINAL FILE REMOVED.

lol no offense but this made me laugh.

Just for the record about realism:

June 1941 German invaded USSR

1940 USSR invaded Finland

1939 German invaded Poland - the official begining of the WW2

I would play this but the scenario is crippled from the very start because the first part of the war is not included, sorry.
 
Count me in! Since Japan and germany are already taken(dang) Ill take the great-britain.

And by the way, can you provide a link to the scenario? I dont have it but I need to in order to play.
 
Random Fan: Well it is nearly impossible to simulate the diplomatic workings of world war 2 before this point; unless you are germany declaring war on each country at the right moment. This is why many ww2 games (i.e. Axis and Allies) start at this time.

LostKnight: The original scenario for ptw can be found here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=56529
However, as soon as we finalize our scenario modificiations, i will email our version and the files you need to play it.
 
Is this compatable with Conquests 1.22?
 
Well i still have Conquests 1.00, never patched because i heard that the new versions weren't backwarsd compatible with old saved games. but i could upgrade to 1.22 if you were interested in playing in this pbem.

EDIT: For those who are interested, i have edited the first post to include the biq file for this game.
 
If it's 1.22 compatable I'm interested. I won't be able to download the file until I get my modem fixed though. If the game fills up before then, I'll have to wait...
 
I am interested if this goest to 1.22. I would like to play an Allied power and possibly hae Gnarff as an ally.
 
Well because of the possibility of two more players, this game has now become for conquests 1.22! And Gnarf, I'm sure we can wait until you get your modem fixed. Just let us know which country you guys want to be. The major allied powers that are left are the United States, and the Soviet Union. I am sure that that no one wants to be China, and frankly i wouldn't want to be China or Italy, either.
 
it does take a long time to load, especially on my not so state-of-the-art computer. However it will only take a long time to load when we start the scernario, all other turns will be like loading a normal saved game.
 
If any of the allies really want UK,I can switch to Russia.

And I look at the files and there is 2 wierd thing.

1-there is a german worker in china!
2- Guerrila have stealth, wich is pretty useless on land unit. Give them invisible or stealth attack.
 
The Guerilla Stealth thing had been in there since Yurt released his original verison, i'm sure he meant to give them the invisible flag instead. However, the guerillas are fine now, and since the stealth flag has no effect at all on land units, we never saw the need to go in and remove it.
 
@ RomeotheMonk: I'll be in touch about which countries we want to speak for.

I'll know tomorrow whether my modem works right or not, or whether I need a new one...
 
That's right. I need another one. If you guys can get the game started without me, then go ahead. I'm using an older computer to download my turns in other PBEM games then taking them on a floppy disk to my computer to play them, putting them back on the floppy then sending them on. It's a pain in the butt, but it's how I keep up on my obligations in these things...
 
I would gladly start this game, however i don't know which countires u guys wanna be. Romeo, would have any information on which civs you and gnarf decided to be?
 
I will take USSR and You can slate Gnraff in as USA. I think that would be fine.
 
I think I'm actually going to be able to get the file. Both parts were able to fit on one floppy. USA is ok with me.
