2194 Days PBEM

[winterfritz]

I figured it was time for another PBEM round of this classic. The player list so far is as follows:

USSR - seanie_babes@hotmail.com
Japan - m_carreras@hotmail.com
Germany - winterfritz_21@yahoo.com
Neutrals - AI
Americans
British
Chinese - AI

We are using the latest version of 2194 Days, available from the Spanish civ2 site (NOT the version at civfanatics. That is the first one Nemo and Alex ever released.)

Case has created MPevents and a slightly altered scenario file, both included in the attachment below (thank you, Case! ). Just install them into your 2194 Days folder. The .bat file has also been changed, so that multiplayer events is an option. We will be using the Allied Advantage rules.txt file.

Unfortunately, Case is unable to join, so the American player is open. Anyone, feel free to come in and take the US or the Brits. Once we have those two slots filled, we can begin. (The Chinese player could be left to the AI, or alternatively played by the American player.)

Good luck all!

The file is on its way now. Glad you could join. Now we just need a British player.

El Awrence, you can go ahead and start, as the British are fourth in the turn order. I'm sure someone will take them shortly.

The Allied scum are no match for the might of us dictators

The validity of tech exchange...

I find that now that we can negotiate that the issue of tech exchange arrives. Should it be valid to trade techs with your allies? I don't know if it should, but considering that several German submarines with German technology arrived in Japan near the end maybe it should be a possibility. Just a thought.

Pearl Harbour, Pacific Islands and China Fall to Japan

Tokyo.- The Ministry of War reported today that a great victory was achieved over the Americans in the Pacific with the destruction of their pacific fleet that was stationed in Pearl Harbour. The destruction of the American fleet was undertaken by a great number of fighters and bombers launched for a number of aircraft carriers early in December and after an intense attack by air, battleship Yamato approached the island and opened fire on the city and other battleships opened fire on military installations decimating the island garrison and opening the path for an unhindered occupation by Imperial Marines.

Simoultaneously, an attack on Midway Island by the Nihon Kaigun rendered the island defenceless after intense shelling opening the way for Imperial Marines to disembark and occupy without any fear of losses.

Meanwhile, Japan has occupied most of mainland Japan in an outstanding and crushing campaign lead by Imperial Marines and artillery barrages supported by wave after wave of fighter planes.

In the Pacific Islands, the rest have suffered the same fate as Japan now wrests control of the Malay Peninsula, the Phillipines, Borneo and Sarawak, Papua New Guinea and leaves Kuala Lumpur and Padang in chaos.

It seems that the Japanese advance on the Pacific is unstoppable and Japan is coaxing the British to sue for peace lest India and Australia fall to the Japanese military might. Japan has, as it stands, total air and naval supremacy over the Pacific theatre and the seizing of Pearl Harbour and Midway has left the western coast of the United States unprotected and vulnerable to a Japanese attacks. Tokyo has requested the the United States sue for peace now before their might is completely destroyed.

Can you guys keep me informed on how the MP events work out? It would be nice to have a set of good events to use in MP games of this scenario. If you've got any comments or sugestions, please PM me or email me at nick_dowling@hotmail.com

[winterfritz]

Well Case, I do have one suggestion, but its unrelated to your events file. Since we no longer have to view computer moves, perhaps you could have revealed the map when you altered the scenario file? This would enable players to get a much better look at the course of the war.

A reminder to our loyal viewers: the British slot is open and awaiting one last player

Good idea. I really should have thought of that
Still, if everyone swaps maps with their Allies most areas of significance should be revealed

[Dr. Nick]

Nope, Japan isn't at war with the USSR. It's logical, they didn't go to war until 1944/5 correct? I hope that we'll keep it that way, Tovarisch Soundwave...

[Dr. Nick]

Well, I'm guessing tech exchange is allowed then.
