Supporting New Games

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

1) Don't fret about it Paul, several of the HQ guys have tried to get FoF up and running, these things just take time thats all, we'll get there :)

Not quite Paul,

2) All 5 Scenarios can be played by PBEM (Note 'Small setup' is basically a training game, just 1 Fed & 1 Reb Army in Virginia at start date, Early Nov 1861, can only be played at basic rules level, would be a goodun to get folk out of Bootcamp)

3) Leaving aside the 'Small setup' scenarios are,
a) Standard campaign, start date early Nov 1861
b) Southern Steel, Nov 1861
c) The Coming Fury, July 1861
d) The Coming Fury, (balanced economy), July 1861
Turns are full (unlike say Battleground were you have movement, Def fire, Off fire/Melee), and occur every 2 weeks game calendar time, on average taking c1hr depending on game situation and the amount of thinking you want to put in.

4) No minor victories etc its win or lose. That said can I suggest we do allocate points for a Draw, so folk can choose to agree a draw, say as an 'honour' thing in a close fought game or if someone had to pull out for domestic reasons, again upon agreement between both parties.

Other bits, I’ll try attaching a screenshot of the setup page for PBEM if it opens it may give you some background idea to the PBEM game setup.

If you wish I could try and send you a copy (Zipped) of the ‘Basic Interface tutorial’, which would give some idea as to the games depth & complexity (far higher than Battleground, IMHO) it is basically a slide show based on screen shots moved on by hitting the space bar, and operates in Macromedia Flash player 8.

Hope this helps if not come back and I’ll try and answer any further questions.

All the Best
Peter
