Not exactly "left out", because I just threw it together ;) but here goes:

http://www.kolumbus.fi/tuomas.seijavuori/spwaw/

SP:TBG or Steel Panthers: The Board Game is a project I started last year, because I wanted to play multiplayer campaigns with some friends of mine. I designed 36 all-new spwaw maps particularly suited for 2-player Online Battles, tested them with my pals and, with their help, developed rules for a simple board game to fulfil our need for a real online multiplayer capability for spwaw. I'm currently playing the fourth test campaign and having heaps of fun with it (though I'm going to take a beating in our next online battle: I'm defending my sector with 2000 purchase points against his 5000 - ouch! :().

In SP:TBG players keep track of their troops by moving map pins on a printed campaign map attached to a corkboard. Battles are fought using spwaw's Online Battle feature (or PBEM) whenever opposing armies collide on the campaign map. Troops are deployed to the spwaw map based on which neighbouring map sectors each player controls, not unlike Close Combat IV, if you are familiar with its campaign system. On the campaign map there are production centres, which produce new troops, and airfields, the proximity of which are required for purchasing air sections in battle. Each player has got one sector designated as a capital. Naturally, losing it means defeat. SP:TBG is intended for players who know each other and do not have to worry about cheating.

If you want to discuss SP:TBG in more detail, please start a new thread for that purpose. I wasn't sure if anyone was interested in this kind of thing, so I thought I'd just add an introduction to this thread instead.

Great minds think alike?

Philippe, I have absolutely no command of French, but from the images on your site I figured I have basically done the same thing you did a year ago already with your second campaign. :eek: And here I was thinking I was being original - duh! Of course the rules are probably different - I couldn't tell - but the basic idea seems very similar. I wish I knew French so I could learn from what you have achieved with your own dynamic campaign project. Best of luck - I hope you're having as much fun with your campaign as I've had with mine! :)

thanks all

surly not, the language couldn't be a wall to visit this site.

we have over 100 members, and the dynamic campaign in spain 37 have more than 20 officers, just running the 7th turn.
Republicans are in Madrid, ans Nationalist try to kick off them.

it is a good project, but the rules are difficult to become better defined.
i think for the Normandy, it will be fine, because we have a large map area, over 83 tactical SPWAW map.....:(
We are working in these maps about the original 1944 map road, and a 1/250000 scale map.
they will be exactly as the same as in real.....
a biggest job Sir, really a big job, but we have 15 designers in our map team.

may be one time you could download one for your PBM....:)

Enjoy them

bye
