I've been working on a multitude of small NES ideas, and this is the one which has won out. In opposition to a traditional NES, I offer up a twist on the commander NES. I offer to mod a two-player NES (set in war or cold war), providing maps when possible from my own collections. Rulesets (nothing complex) will also be provided based on the era of your challenge, but they will be based upon the existing ruleset for A Brave New World.
A Summary of What to Do: If you don't want to read everything else
Challenge someone to a duel, and pick what war you want to fight them in. Once you and opponent agree to do battle, I will moderate a small NES to allow you to display your martial prowess.
The Purpose
The purpose of this is to demonstrate your skill in military tactics against another NESer. These NESes will be quick with updates every other day or faster. The NESes will be small and hopefully decided with in the space of 5-10 updates, and not much longer.
For me, the purpose of this setup is to provide me with an easy and noncontinuous method of using my side rulesets and projects in actual NESes. Over the years I've come up with a lot of ideas which have never seen the light of day, and I'd like to get them out there. So, please, take advantage of this, and challenge someone to a contest.
Challenging a Person.
Here's how the NES will work. Links to the thread(s) will be provided here, and this is where the challenge will be deteremined. I will post rulesets and maps here as they are completed. Issue a challenge on While We Wait, by a Private Message, or on the A Brave New World thread When you want to challenge someone, do it like so:
I, [your name] hereby challenge [other person] to a duel of honor on the field of NESing battle! [Post link to this thread here]
Creating the Duel
Preferrably the two players will agree on the duel they pick, but in the case of a disagreement, the challenged player will be the one to decide. You can also opt for a randomly picked duel (by me) for the purpose of your fighting, particularly if you only have a certain era in mind.
Any scenario imaginable will be allowed, but a warning, more elaborate wars or bigger ones will require much more time to set up. I will allow ANY campaign, theater, or conflict from RL history, NESing, or alternative history. But once again, you must allow some time for set up for non-recommended selections. Below are my lists of Recommended Duel games, as the maps, rules, and stats, are already complete. This list will go as other maps are completed. If you want an instant duel to start right away with someone, please choose from the recommended duels list, otherwise post here with your idea and confirmation from your opponent
You must give me at least a week to create a new idea from scratch.
Recommended Duels
Note: Any war or campaign from any of my NESes also can be considered a recommended duel, as those are incredibly easy for me to adapt to this purpose.
Gunpowder Age (from 1450s on)
American Revolution: USA vs. British Empire 1776
A Different Civil War: USA vs. Republic of New England 1855
Operation Barbarossa- Germany vs. Soviet Union 1941
Invasion of France- Allies vs. Germany 1940
Red Alert- Soviets vs. Allies 1950
Gulf War- UN coalition vs. Iraq 1991
Red Pheonix- North Korea vs. South Korea 1986
Conspiracy Nut Invasion- United States invaded by world coalition 2013
Medieval era (1000-1450)
First Crusade: Christians vs. Muslims
From the Dawn of Time (4000 BC-1000 AD)
Punic Wars: Rome vs. Carthage
Alexander's Conquests: Macedon vs. Persia
Fantasy
War of the Ring: Forces of Good vs. Forces of Evil
The First Great War (Warcraft 1): The Horde vs. Azeroth
The Second Great War (Warcraft 2): The Horde vs. The Alliance
The Duels in Operation
I will only moderate a single duel at a time between two players. As stated before, these duels are not expected to last more than ten updates, as hopefuly the victor will be determined well before then. Make sure you have some idea of the war you'll be fighting, or don't. This is a pretty easy going set up.
Awards
I will be keeping track of a score of who wins how many duels. I have thought ought some nifty ideas to reflect this. As the NES goes there may even be prizes (working on a deal for that now). That's just something to consider.
