Hi there, well as you may have guessed Canuck and I know each other in r/l so i decided we should bring a game that we started roughly 2 years ago, we stopped it because in r/f its hard to find people to play but thats not a problem here

The Game Board: we will be playing on the world with each continent as its own map

Rules: Factories produce 3 infantry or 1 tank + 1 infantry or 1 plane or 1 ship, you can buy more factories for 10 infantry but there is a limit of 5 factories per country

infantry are good mostly for defence but can be used to attack, a tank is offensive, a plan can bomb anything but only one plane attack per plane per turn, and ships can only attack things in the water but are useful for keeping ships filled with troops from hitting your land

Trade Agreements with other nations will work as follows : 1 infantry per turn and 2 infantry per turn if you have the same government as the person your trading with

for upkeep the larger your army the more you have to pay to keep it running for example:
10 army units= you have one less infantry per turn
20=two less
30=three less

for transporting troops it takes one turn to load them into the ship, one for getting out of the ship, and an extra turn if they need to go from one continent to another Ex. North America to Europe, each ship can hold only 5 infantry or 2 tanks 2 infantry

Rebellions: they happen if you upset your people, you start out with 10 morale points, once you hit zero you have a rebellion and you lose half your army and have to change governments

the following makes you loose morale points:
-2 if you declare war
-2 if you lose a large part of army in a battle
-6 if you surrender to your enemy


Currently all countries are open except for Canada and the USSR

if you want to join post the country you want, and a picture of the person you want to lead your country

*optional* include a picture of the Infantry, Tank, Plane and Ships you want

Updates will be every second day, unless something happens that we cannot avoid
 
Creator
I will be the main creator with the map and drawing out the boarder's. When posting your unit's like captain2 said send the name of *country *type of goverment and if you wish you can pick out what your unit's are just post up your picture. the picture's will have to include your soldier tank airplane and ship...as well we will accept a picture of your leader.


I will update everything every 2 day's. This will include stat's if any border change and so on. For all order's send them as privet message to me or captain2 and we will up date them as soon as posable the order's will include what unit's you want, any attack's or declairing war and anything you want to happen to your goverment
 
Great idea, but keep in mind boardgames usually have problems with interest after a few rounds. That and use a spellchecker.

Also: Why do you lose morale points for declaring war on somebody? Usually it reinforces national pride until you taking casualties and/or losing.

Let us see the map! :-)
 
about the morale, people do get pissed at you for declaring war, check the US Vs. Iraq

we'll see it will look empty though
 
I might join :)

But i refuse to be a small country....i'm regularly a small country...:)
 
Notice

Tonight sept. 21 i will post up the map. However take in mind that it will look empty because there are only two nation's on it.

and to concona you can be any country you want

As well your ppl will act differnt to war depending on what type of goverment you have. Just like USA and Iraq however if it was china and Iraq it might be differnt because of the differnt form of goverment
 
Oh great....but excisting countries or Sifi??? :) otherwise i'd like to be Great Britain....or something :)
 
To Concona

It will be real country's and if you want you can be Great Britian. But you must post your country, Goverment, and if you will pick out your unit's or will I for you.
 
-8 or -2?

My first reaction is that I refuse to join this if it means I have to lead a sissy nations that'll run off to hide in a hovel at the sound of the first gunshot. I'll play but I demand a temporary bonus to morale (disspates with time and casualties & increased w/ victory) if I'm not a democracy or have just cause.

Only modern post-world war 2 democratic nations react to war declarations like that... and usually over time. The US is still at war a few years down the road and it bought Bush a lot of stability by the 'don't change leadership during a conflict' argument.

Argentina vrs. the UK
The Argentinian government went to war to stay in power.

Chinese aggression vrs. Taiwan
Same...

Fascism... Nazism... Communism: all the same

-8 in morale seems to me as if it should belong firmly to the realm of a nation where the people are dubios as to the purpose of war and well informed of whatever suffering it causes

Winston Churchill and Roosevelt both announced war with widespread support across their countries. Great Britain and France would never have been so reluctant to fight if the pascifist movement and thinking hadn't been as strong as it was pre-ww2.

C'mon... you're thinking everyone will react the way people are feeling in the USA right now! You've been at war for 4 years (not counting the bombing raids & interventions) without apparent due cause (actually I support the war but whatever), casualties broadcasted on national television and no clear victory in sight and it looks like you'll stay in it for another three! Different I say! Different!
 
fine i'll give ya that, but the -2 morale is more to stop people from declaring war, signing peace, then declaring war the next turn depriving the enemy of an attack, so it will stay in place more or less to just keep people from constant cheap ass war, besides if you can go two turns without declaring war agian you pretty much have your points back, so dont worry about it too much
 
Notice to Kal'thzar

OK you can be the swiss however i need to now what type of goverment you are and if you are going to give me the picture of your unit's or will i do that for you. that goe's for all.
 
Ok I might be wrong again....but is this ok:

Great Brittain
Leader: Queen Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India .

well, i love board games, and i would join, EXCEPT that you have no rules posted.
what you have posted is completely incomeplete.
one example is that judging by captain2's last post, every nation gains 1 morale point every turn. but that isnt stated anywhere.

how does combat work?
you listed infantry as defence (but ok for attack) and tanks for attack, but how much of a difference is it?
will one infantry defending against 2 attacking infantry win?
how about one infantry defending against one takn?
what can get killed/destroyed by a plane's bombing? (units or factories or what?)
there are proly about a page worth of questions i could ask, but instead i'll let you finish the rules and then ask questions for the holes still left.
 
planes, like in real life can bomb everything but it can only bomb one thing on the same contenent, i accidentally left out the one morale point per turn and in the case of one infantry defending vs two attacking infantry it would be up to chance, one infantry defending agianst a tank loses

continue with the questions
