Idea for New version of CS

John Tiller's Campaign Series exemplifies tactical war-gaming at its finest by bringing you the entire collection of TalonSoft's award-winning campaign series. Containing TalonSoft's West Front, East Front, and Rising Sun platoon-level combat series, as well as all of the official add-ons and expansion packs, the Matrix Edition allows players to dictate the events of World War II from the tumultuous beginning to its climatic conclusion. We are working together with original programmer John Tiller to bring you this updated edition.

Moderators: Jason Petho, Peter Fisla, asiaticus, dogovich

Idea for New version of CS

Post by osiris_slith »

Heres my idea

Combine these four games to make a new CS game

Steel panthers for the AI
east front west front and rising sun for the historical accuracy and playability
create the graphics as in fields of thunder
and finally a new feature of the game would be the commanders Perspective, essentially you could select any platoon on the board and with this option you would be able to give control and shoot, move units down to the indivdual tank or squad

Jason what do mean after lunch? We though you'd already started programming.

And if the game could also cook me dinner, so that I don't have to leave the computer, that would be awesome. [:)]

I thought Arctic Blast might be joking, but, after giving it some thought, there might be a way.  You'd have to program the game to call a Pizza Delivery Restaurant at a given hour, either on-line or by phone, and you'd then have to give the game your credit card number to pay for the pizza and delivery.  The part I haven't figured out yet is how to get the game to answer the front door.

You need the right USB connection for that.

We need the greatest minds of science devoting all of their time to solving this problem. We are so close to computed food delivery!

We are a pathetic lot.  Ostensibly the normal expedients -- such as a mom, a wife, or a compliant adolescent -- have failed.  Here we sit asking poor Jason to find some way to have this game feed us too.

You're right, frank...we've been selfishly obsessing with ways to make the game procure us food...when all along, we should have been selfishly obsessing with ways to make the game procure us BEER. [:D]

Well yes.  I was reluctant to go there, but as long as you've opened the door and placed the chilled mugs on the table, I'd be happy to sit down and discuss the matter.  Finally we're getting somewhere.

It's Thanksgiving back here on the ranch.
 
I'll start by giving thanks to Jason for helping revive Campaign Series and for doing an exceptional job responding to inquiries.
 
Thanks to Arctic Blast for having a sense of humor.
 
I'll even give thanks to the God-Creator for keeping things interesting.

Insults are gratuitous. That's apparently why they're shared so liberally.

No problem. I'm trying to think of something to say to God-Creator...but I can't wrap my head around that weird cowboy ranch comment. Huh?!

Do you have cowboys in Canada. I know you have the mounties. And maybe a few Eskimoes, but cowboys?[&:]

I thought the reference to cowboys and ranches was directed at the fact I'm from Texas.  It's annoying when someone throws an insult and it takes a committee to figure out to whom it was directed.  Even in the game of "dross and toss" there are certain standards and rules.
