[Forum Game] All Men Created Equal

[bakerydog]

Hello and welcome to All Men Created Equal!

This forum game idea is inspired by previous games such as Crisis in the Reichstag and Empire of Harmony. Your first question may be what is this? It is a 1776 American political simulator in the birth of the American nation that became the superpower of today.

Roles:

General: Your average run of the mill general who has signed up for duty but has been promoted for doing something of greatness in the past like a war hero in the French and Indian war.

Politician: Your states leader who makes all the rulings and legislation for the nation.

Concept and explanation:

The main concept of this game is to be a political simulator of the states into what they became today. In this timeline America could even take over Canada if it goes well enough for us in the long run. Nothing in this game is guaranteed to work exactly as planned but if it rolls well you might just get what you wanted. The politicians job will mainly be dealing with the forming of the basis of the American nation and it's values. Another factor is for the states leaders to decide to send how much troops to the cause. States like New York may not send a ton but New Jersey will send some decent amount providing most goes well.

Combat:

Combat will be decided by rolls depending on other factors like terrain and the army's equipment. An army with no equipment will most likely lose every single battle, but one armed to the teeth will be able to fight for weeks straight. The Americans will more or less dependent on public support for their troops while the crown can send how much they want and what the situation is like. An early war battle will have small troops but later on there may be a couple thousand fighting for a piece of ground.

BIO: Hailing from the colony of Georgia, The Colonel is well known for his sound investments in railway, and mining ventures.

Anyway, during all this Alucard eventually 'inherited' his fathers ship after a bad accident in a parade in the New Orleans that left Alucard the sole owner of 'Le Terrible' a decent frigate bought with the plunder of various merchants. Being born in the new world, and seeing that corruption of the old monarchies in Europe Alucard quickly enlisted his ship into the almost non-existant Colonial fleet after spending some time in the New England region and nearly being pressed into the British Navy.
