Huh? :wacko: I thought I said that I would be playing and I wanted to play as Italy... I said I couldn't stay very late - 11pm your time this friday. Every other friday I'll be fine to play as long as possible.

any chance of me playing a minor just to have a looksy?

That will be hard as minors being played and then not played cuases bugs in the game and crashes.

This game was proposed as a major 6 players only game. So i guess its up to major if he wants to have any minor nations in it. I dont see a problem as long as there here from the start of the game and stay till the end.

But we warned playing in the 38 scenario as a minor is boring at times as no time to build up your IC and build forces. I'll leave it up to major to decide as this was his idea for this game.

Cyas tonight, ill be home by around 8.45 and will head to vnet straight away.

Also i have X-3 reunion now, arrived in the mail this morning. Looking like a long night for me, HOI 2, then ill spend the rest of the night plaiyng CIV IV and X-3 hahahaha and i got 5 days off after today hahahahahah. One happy gamer.
 
UK's high IC in the 38 scenario is balanced by its really crappy manpower, which doesn't leave room to build alot of divisions.

And also, the commonwealth minor's are also capped and they do not start building units until war breaks out, so the UK needs all it can get.
 
Get a life Mike!!

Ric saw your post.....I am looking at having a strictly 6 player major power game. However as you are one of our most reliable players I cant leave you out. Should I take Germany how do you feel about Coop with me. That will solve the problem of you having to leave early and take some pressure off me controlling multiple fronts. I would be looking at you maybe helping control all the minor countries, Germany army in Africa etc etc...Also help you to learn a big major power so you may enjoy the bigger games. I am relunctant to have any minors in this game as I want only all the major powers. Also on Friday the 18th I am absent for a night so you would be the man in charge. Should I play Japan I an also see the need for a coop player.

Your oponion? I notice you did express a desire to play Italy?
 
Hmmmm it sounds like an interesting idea Major, makes a fair amount of sense. Although I would like to play Italy, it seems a really good way for me to get good experience with majors in MP. Even pick up a few new tricks. But I think it probably only works the best with Germany and Mike might feel worried with someone else controlling his toys.

Cheers Ric
 
The best nations for co-op are Uk & Germany. Japan is ok but not much to do until end of 41 so a bit boring for a long time. You dont need two players to take out china. For some one to learn how to play a major nation Germany or UK are best. Uk might be even better as once there fighting all 3 Axis nations its hard to control so many fronts.

At lest with the UK one person could defend the UK while one fights in africa or the med. Germany wont be to much fun until mid 1941. As up to that point you are mainly fighting the AI nations in europe which is a cake walk. Italy no point co-oping there as there is not that much to do, there main theter is the med.

well maybe i could coop for sumone maybe and not really even play just observe maybe?
sorry if im being rude just keen to play

Sometimes you need to be a bit pushy to get noticed :p Don't listen to me though, thats the first rule of being in this gorup :rofl:
 
Yeah hey guys, Anus here. School is finished for me by Friday next week, so any new games you start in a few weeks I'll be willing to play like I said months ago ;) . Try to get in contact with me by then Mike or ball or omni.
 
I had a look at the 1938 scenario and I really don't like the look of it, US tech is laggy badly behind.

I would rather play a 36 scenario, can we have a vote on that please?
 
This will be a 1938 game...It doesnt look to flash for anyone but if you remember correctly we did get to mid 1943 which is much better than most games. And bumble you have this impresion about the USA being some super power at the start of WW2. The tech level it starts at in the 38 game reflects its actually level t the time.
 
BB the 38 campaign is designed for muliplayer,so its balanced to make it the best game possible. We did have our best game in the 38 scenario, you just didnt have a good experience becuase you were australia. For the major powers though it was a great gam
 
1.3 is mostly an AI update according to them, that will require alot more RAM. So I don't think it's too important for MP. But maybe one of the Mods is.
 
My problem with the USA in this game is that it doesnt get anywhere near its power at any stage of the game. In the game mechanics you cannot go from no army and airforce like USA to having 150 divisons and more planes then rotw combined in 2 years. To fix this discrepency to reality I think USA needs to be 200-300% stronger from the word go. This 38 scenario is even worse for the US then the 36 one. Its annoying that the most powerful nation on earth in 1945 is not that much stronger then any other...I should be able to spit out type 7 Cvs in 6 months, I cant, I should be able to build strat bomber squadrons in 2 weeks I cant, the game is rooted. And this restrictive early IC penalty means the US cannot reach its historical power not even half of it and thats frustratingly lame. :(

I don't know whether I will play this game, I will see and let you know at 8pm tonight. Maybe I should play a different country...Especially if we manage to get our toher game back on track :)
