All will come in time, my child.
Seems I was wrong in thinking this is what we were talking about. I advocate Pearl Harbor scale sneak attacks. Going back to the fort system, you could blow the crap out of a fort if you're crazy lucky and then follow up with the other 95% of your mobilized army there and the rest of the forts you can attack.
Idea for Real-time battle simulation in IOT: I was thinking we could use chatrooms to make a rather intresting battle system. I have the crude rules invisioned but it would go something like this.
1. A certain time is chosen that suits both players...if one player cannot participate he may NPC himself or leave it to another cfcer to command his troops
2. Both players enter a designated chatroom. Spectators are welcome but will not be allowed to spam
3. The GM posts a map with troop ensignia and a grid.
4. Players give orders, command troop movements, GM tracks it and calculates battle results, the system would allow more realistic battle occurances like flanking, artillery fire, jews, perks and etc, so the battles aren't decided with randomness
Basically an Action Chatroom.
There's no in-game benefit to small scale attacks like Pearl Harbor in MP4. You either go big or go home.

A IOT/AC hybrid could be interesting.
There will be political view and then there will be battle view.
This could be set for situations outside a battle: for instance a UN conference.

Destroying a sizable portion of your enemy's standing army has no benefit?
IOT-AC is a bad idea for schedule and timezone reasons, which are bad enough when you're just trying to do one part of that.

People aren't essential to a jukebox, and I imagine it's already set by a certain schedule that your collective agrees upon. By contrast, missing an AC mission is a fairly big deal, they are much more time consuming, and schedules aren't nearly as friendly - IIRC, only two Australians have ever participated in ACs, and not for long. Even Euros suffer, Since DT and I are the only people who have ever GMd at even remotely reasonable times for that continent...
Indeed. For clarification, most AC missions start at around ~6-7 am on weekdays for me, a.k.a the time I have to go to school. Sometimes they start even earlier.
And even if you didn't have school, the prospect of waking up every morning around six in the morning just to play a game that, most of the time, is done with PMs and in thread isn't appealing.
Of course it's gonna be summer for us in like a week so we'll all be up really late at night.
I have summer classes and things to do over the weekend.
