Nucular War XIX Signup

[:) Smiley]

Anyway, the GM prefers bouncy nukes. Last call to sign up, I'll post the game thread tomorrow morning.

[Fake Boris]

What/where are the rules for that game?

[Sparrowhawk]

Best place to look would be in the previous game thread (GM'd by none other then yours truly )

Here is the GAME THREAD , rules are in the First Post

[Skanky Burns]

I prefer bouncy nukes myself. And bouncy pictures, but that is beside the point.

[DrSpike]

I guess nothing has made it in into the rules, but we were definitely playing as a de facto rule that the same nuke cannot be deflected twice by one shield. I can't say exactly when it arose, as it was many games ago.

Perhaps some more of the 'oldies' will recall, but it was around the time I was tweaking the rules a lot and strangely some people just prefer to play.

[Ljube]

It arose in Nuclear War 1 and the rule was (and should be) that nukes can only be deflected once.

Reason: To stop forever bouncing nukes.


I thought it was in the rules


Let's resolve this issue with my preference for only one deflection (for reasons of simplicity) and I sign up with my cities:

Blue, Yellow, Green

[DrSpike]

Well in Sparrow's example they wouldn't bounce forever. However, I agree I would prefer to keep the de facto rule that has been used in the past. It's elegant and easily understood.

[GeneralTacticus]

Except, of course, that the nukes don't bounce forever; sooner or later, they'll become one of the nukes that gets through.

[DrSpike]

Is there an echo in here?

[GeneralTacticus]

It's a mysteirous phenomenon known as the 'cross-post'.

[DrSpike]

I think it's possible we cross posted.

[Theben]

It's even more likely that Doc is being what is known as a "smart-ass".

[Fake Boris]

Sounds like fun, I'm in

My cities are... ahem... Clit, Vag and Lab

[Fake Boris]

Damn, too late.

[Sparrowhawk]

Boris, I doubt it is too late, just post your above city names in the game thread and send in your round 1 orders to Smiley now and I imagine he will add you into the game.

(and if anyone else is interested I am sure Smiley will accept new players until the first round results are posted...though even if he doesn't accept it, doesn't hurt to try )
