Operation Market Garden

[rcoutme]

***Game started***

I am interested in starting a new PBEM based on a variant to El Mencey's WW2 Europe scenario. The files needed can be found here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=94642

You must download El Mencey's scenario from Apolyton in order to play this.

The game is designed for 5 or 6 human players with Sweden being a computer player. No MA's or MPP's may be initiated with any computer player (although they may be signed if the computer player initiates them) unless the computer player is attacked by an enemy.

Ok so far we have
England -- Oblivion
Germany -- Bkgreatwarnut
Italy -- Dell19
France -- Rcoutme
USSR -- LostKnight
Spain -- Portuga

rcoutme. I think that people are engaged now with the two El mencey games going on. I am sure that if you post a more detailed explanation of how this new modified scenario is, eventually you will find people signing up. But perhaps not right now, but rather in a few weeks.
If you are in an ongoing process of modifying this scenario you should start a thread, perhaps in another place, where you log the progress of changes and accep`t feedback and ideas from others, etc.
that's just my opinion.

I agree with Thrust.
It is probably a little early to launch another WWII Europe scenario (in fact I hadn't really seen the thread, thought it was about the first game (spolier or something...).

On the other hand that gives you more time to playtest your version and enhance it every time you encounter something wrong in el Mencey's scenario.

Then you can launch a good, stable and perfected version later (end of August maybe when holidays are 'over') when the two current ones are well underway.

If you open a "development thread" for your scenario we can all post our "wish list" for it.
(SS Units, V-Rockets, Volksturm, Long range Bombers, etc.)

The main problem with that is that the graphics and sound packages are what take the enormous amout of memory that I do not have. I do, however, have a development thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=94642. I am currently trying to playtest adding of victory points. The game 'systems' posted there are already playable (both single and multiplayer versions), however I have been trying to playtest in more logical victory conditions. As the game currently stands, 40% of map area looks to be virtually impossible without taking all of Europe. I have a victory point system (test by the AI only, of course) which definately appears to be working. I have a couple of more tweaks to do before posting it.

 

[rcoutme]

This has been reopened due to some interest expressed in trying it.

I would like to be the axis...preferably Germany. A victory in the Air Battle of Britain, a victory at El-Alemien, and or a final finishing off of Russian troops at Stalingrad and they would have won the war. In fact, not invading Russia until the British were defeated could have won the war...

 

[-0blivion-]

I am interested. Great Britain please

 

[BkGreatWarnut]

Go to the above link and follow the downloading directions then we can play...

 

[-0blivion-]

Can't i do it after some sleep?
I mean it is 1 AM here and i would much rather start this in the morning. I am also a bit tired to download anything and move art folders around right now. I was just gonna post in here that i wanted to be GB then go to bed, but your post caught my eye.

 

[BkGreatWarnut]

We will get the game started soon...

As soon as you let us know taht you have downloaded stuff we can get started... Just e-mail us sometime tomorrow to let us know...

Thanks and goodbye...

 

[Dell19]

I'm interested, would be quite interesting to be one of the neutral human nations.

edit: I'll take Italy

 

[rcoutme]

@Oblivion: You are down for GB. I will need to coordinate passwords with you as I will be gone next week. Since we are permanent allies, that should not be a problem (we should be able to take each others' turns since we can share all information anyways). You will be the one starting the game, as England is the first Human nation to start. The order of play should be England, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, USSR, France, Spain, Sweden.

 

[rcoutme]

Portuga has expressed interest in playing the spoiler (i.e. Spain), that leaves only USSR.

 

[-0blivion-]

OK, i downloaded the scenario and moved the heavy bomber files, etc, and it appears to be working. As soon as we have a USSR, i will start it.

So am i right in thinking that Sweden represents the minor nations in the war? It has Sweden (duh), Turkey, Ireland, Portugal, etc.

 

[LostKnight]

IM in, ill be USSR, ill stop the german right away!!!

 

[-0blivion-]

Alright. Has everyone sorted the scenario out? If so i will start this. Don't want it to be stalled by someone not having installed the scenario. Better post e-mails as well. If you want rcoutme, i can send out the e-mail list. Or you can do it, i don't care.

 

[LostKnight]

For me its ok!!

 

[Dell19]

It works for me.

 

[Dell19]

IM in, ill be USSR, ill stop the german right away!!!

I think the USSR have to wait 10 turns before they are allowed to attack to make it more realistic.

edit: BkGreatWarnut - Could you send me your email address as I can start a thread at another forum that can be password protected so that we can discuss strategy, you seem to have disabled PMs...
