Civ 2, Civil War Style Presented by The King

Wow having read the movement material again I see this must have been a huge undertaking. I hope your testing goes well.

I am one of them old foggies! I have grown up with Avalon Hill games such as D-Day, Russian Campaign, Rise and Decline of the 3RD Reich, Civilization, Panzer Leader and of course Civil War which this game is loosely based on and definitely inspired by.
If you can figure out away to make the computer keep track of everything, that would be great, but not being a computer programer, I am doing the best I can to produce an interesting, fast paced game with a min. of bookkeeping using what I have to work with.
3 hours is based on turns taking less then 6 mins round trip, thats 10 turns an hour ( each turn you will move maybe 10-15 units). In 30 turns, the game should end.
On turn 10, that 6th North army will pop up on the board and be largely unchallenged. And the Lee army should be cornered and killed by at the very latest turn 20 leaving all the North forces to mop up taking citys to end the game in about 10 turns.

Just updating my account with a new sign.

Growing up with a twin brother that also gamed, I swear we had almost every single Avalon Hill game. The funny thing was that our favorite was Tactic II since it was designed to be even, unlike most historical battles. The original instructions for Jutland recommended a gym or similar large open area for optimal gaming.

You want a nightmare of bookkeeping and indepth gaming Rah?
At MichconGamefest in the mid 80's I played a game of The Longest Day with 4 other players, which is , by far, the most complexed, indepth and tedious game Avalon Hill every produced. Lasted on, and off the entire weekend.
You know what AH game would be awsome for the computer? Sink the Bismark. The thing easy, It is such a simple game, it should be so easy to program, but kids today are just into these games that demand physical dexterity rather then a little thinking and strategy.
Funny, I always had a field across the street where I could amply demonstrate that ability.

Not used to using scenarios, do you have to do anything special ?

[War4ever]

[rah]

Hmmm, I did too, Nice catch.

I guess that why he put the "It's true" tag under it.

[War4ever]

Strat all that boasting and now we find out its not true, shame on you....

the scenario sounds kewl, i hope to dl it this weekend

[rah]

I probably will after my 'after golf nap' tomorrow. I'm actually surprised that I find this interesting since it's been so long since I played a scenario.

Hmm, I thought his sig said 8 times yesterday, and 8 is the number he always claims. Maybe Ming changed it for a laugh.

[War4ever]

[rah]

He's not the only one that could have changed it.

[DrSpike]

Are you admitting it?
