Re: Might as well ask - Armada 2026-Supernova

I am very familiar with the modding efforts of the original poster.

I introduced him to Armada-Supernova because I enjoy it so much. He has been playing it with much enjoyment. It was fun to see him get caught up in it.

Please take a look at this 4X Space Empire game. So much fun. And new mods are ...

Re: Help me understand this attack report

Good morning,

The early phase for the Allies is about responding to the increasing threat from the Axis. You will relish every turn you get before combat; it is not too much to say the game can be won, or lost, here. Now is the time to make strategic decisions. Let’s turn to Diplomacy first.

Great ...

Good morning, well for me anyway, in South Carolina.

Yes, GD is big. You are looking version 3, the biggest ever. It is big in every sense. It is based on the excellent engine of ATG, with about a decade of development by Claus and Alexandre. It scales across the whole world at a time when war was ...

Re: Help me understand this attack report

By the time you hand the battle to the troops you must have done your work first.

These look like "hasty", "meeting" engagements. Your troops look pretty good with decent experience, and very good morale. AP tracks Action Points. A turn lasts a certain amount of time, and you had spent half the ...

Re: What games are you playing?

Armada 2026 Supernova.

I have loved this game for years. It is my favorite 4X game, and I turn to it from my more difficult games.

I love the research and production, I love the battles.

It is well worth a look.

Back in outer space again and loving it.

This game is just so much fun, and so under appreciated.

I am playing Supernova with a "no bureaucracy" Klurgu. So much fun attacking with a nation that just does not care. I am in fifth place, the Humans in first, but my Klurgu are licking their lips ...

Re: Advanced Tactics Gold PBEM

There are enough to find a game.

What Ernie said was that this game is old enough to have dropped some popularity. That should not discourage you. The game is well known for the map generator, and has many fine mods.

For the price you will pay it is more than worth it.

Re: Can't get TOE to work across the sea

Do you have cargo ships in a port, source (preferred) or destination?

I like to have a my big HQ in a port city with vessels in the HQ. I try to have a port on every land mass with a HQ and cargo ships.

Good luck.

This is really the only game I play, which makes me wonder why I bought all these other games.

Re: How many remember this game...?

I played it on the TRS-80 and loved it. It was very playable.

It had a mounted mapboard and counters as the screen on those old computers was not high resolution, nor did the TRS-80 (model I) have color.

It was a small meeting scenario, Germans and Soviets, as I remember, and I would play it right ...

Re: All things Football (soccer) related

I am enjoying these games a great deal. I have been pulling for Netherlands, Brazil, Australia, USA, and Denmark. These are all nations of my current gaming crew.

I have been most impressed with England, who seem to be giving a seminar. Their play seems a cut above.
