Best WWII Scenario Award

[Captain Nemo]

Fast-Eddie:

It's a good point... I made the map, I studied the campaigns, I remember all the city names... It's easy for me to define a strategy and stick to it. I also know which cities make good staging areas before each attack and know from-where-to-where the "goto" command works. It's still a very complicated scenario and it takes a lot of thought and strategy.

On the other hand, I don't think there is a way to make a simple WWII scenario that truly is a "WWII" scenario. MPS's is a playable regular Civ2 game set in 1939-45 but there ends its' relation to WWII.

Red Front is definitely one for WWII nuts like myself... Those types of scenarios hold my attention because every city, unit, battle, event is familiar, but I don't expect that of everyone, just as I don't care for any Fantasy scenario I've played.

I personally don't like living in words of others.

I do, however, believe that "It is a good day to die," quote is also in a movie I saw a while ago, I think it was Zulu, but maybe not.....

I'd nominate your scenario, Captain Nemo, but seriously, let me finish it. I will have time over the holidays, I hope, but my schedule is very tight.

Nemo:

Didn't Custer fight the Sioux at Little Bighorn? Or were the Cheyanne there too?

Anyway, I see you're adapting a tactic of posting one paragraph at a time....

[Captain Nemo]

King Mao:
You're right but the Sioux and the Northern Cheyenne were allied when they fought Custer together at LBH in 1876!
(I had to look it up, I thought there might have been an error in the movie)

I think they should make a special rating for me: "Kommissar" although Warlord isn't too bad considering what I'm working on.

[Mao]

King Mao...I like that

[Captain Nemo]

Nick:
Why waste your time playing a scenario where every turn takes half an hour, unit names are confusing, graphics are cartoonish and events send useless message every five minutes? I wouldn't bother if I was you.

Besides you already playtested it extensively for me (Although all your feedback E-mails got lost).

[Stefan Härtel]

Why don't we all bombard NickC with eMails? Maybe that will make him stop insulting everyone here.
Even if he doesen't care that doesen't mean that he automatically has to get unfriendly. If I would go to every thread I dislike here, post a message "I don't care-end of discussion", nobody would like me. I read it, decide wether I like it or not or it interests me or not, and give a contribution if it's interesting, or don't say anything. NickC should take this as an example.

Once again, the human common brain goes into work. I said end of discussion to one person, and Stefan interpretes it as I said that comment to everyone. Very interesting, the human, brain.....

Captain Nemo, good point! I'm glad you agree with me, finally.

Yeah, I am in this topic, I once again say:

I VOTE MPS'S WW2!

And I'm the one who told everyone to get back to the thread's subject, so please do so, instead of babbling on about me.

Yeah, um, you bombard me with E-Mails, I simply block you from my E-Mail account. AT LEAST I post my comments here, and not be an immature fool posting in people's Mail Box.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING anyways besides post my opinions on a scenario, say Sidgames sucked, and I even said, THAT IS ANOTHER STORY because I wanted to get to the subject of the thread. Obviously, you do not understand, now do you. So, let us get on with the thread topic, please. Thanks.

MarkL:

MONGOLS & NAZIS: both war powers who invaded much of Europe, both massive empires who both were eventually defeated, ruled by well-known leaders even to this time, both killed many, both considered extremely brutal, and, shall I go on?

Ok, now, MarkL is going to debate this, even though every single word is true. He will say "noooo! its not true" because he can't admit he is wrong. Nobody knows the REAL story behind what happened at the Scenario League, and please don't ask, because I don't want MarkL to lie about it again. BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY, so end of discussion there. NOW we get on with the thread topic. Thanks.

[Mao]

So Nick, your final nomination Microprose? You've changed it a bit.

[Stefan Härtel]

*cough!* *cough!* Moderator! We have an *cough* extreme case of *cough* misunderstanding here that *cough!* *cough!* escalates into *cough* *cough* insults which is *cough* forbidden by the Apolyton rules *cough* cough*

[Captain Nemo]

I agree with Nick C let's get back on topic...and let's get some more votes. I know there are a lot more supporters of RF out there! Start voting!

Up the Deadly Boot: 1

People, please take any personal problems on e-mail. Not here. Not everyone wants to see this kind of stuff on this forum. And dont ruin a good thread. Thanks

[NickC]

Yeah, MPS's scenario it is for me. And Mao, I've changed it once, so don't put your brain to work too. I went from JP's scenario that's coming out, to MPS's scenario, and that's it. So please, read the thread carefuly before you post.

MPS's scenario was actually very good, IMHO, I haven't played Red Front yet, but I seriously don't have the time to play ANY other scenario. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Do you really think my brain works? If it did, do you think I'd be at this site all day?
