War of the Ring testgame 4-6 players.

[Grymme]

A little bit of Topic, but the scenariosprojects i have started but not finished are.
 
- The 2nd Punic war (building on Von Altairs excellent ancient SFTs)
- The Boer War
- Operation Garbo (a fictional USSR invasion of Sweden and Finland in the early 90s).
- Battle of Jutland
- Battle of Guadalcanal (more or less finished this one but got tired).
- The Horus Heresey (Space Marine fictional battle).
 
The ones above are the ones i have atleast started some work on, but not finished. Other ones i have thought about doing include
- The Chaco War
- Battle of Stalingrad
- Battle of Cassino
 
What i would like most right now is some help with creating nice terrain. And coding events. At which i suck.

And...just for bragging rights. Here are the ones i have finished (or at least to the point that they are playable).

Operation Weserubung (my first i think)
Adv American Civil War (not a very good one)
Spanish Civil War
WWIII (a mammoth project that almost killed me)
No Prisoners - Campaign in Palestine and Arabia during WWI
Crimean Shield 1941-42
War of the Rings

Its interesting to see what my focus was in each scenario.

Op weserubung was all about playing with limited resources. and with the boardgame mod.

Spanish Civil war i made just because i read a book about it and wanted to play it.

When i wrote WWIII i was all about massive amounts of units and production. During this creation i also learned how to make SFT:s and write events.

No prisoners was the first scenario which focused more on Grognard feel than new mechanics. Every unit in the scenario is based is real.

Crimean Shields i just made in a couple of days because i wanted to do something simple to play against the AI where the AI was aggressive.

War of the Rings is the first scenario were i was really trying out making my own (if borrowed) graphics. I liked the other graphic mods but wanted something that truly felt like a boardgame. And i got my hands on some beautiful counters and a real nice map.

The ramblings of a madman....

- Also there is the possibility of getting support in supply and PP from your allies (Rohan i think). They can in their turn get support from Gondor. So it is possibel to channel funds between allies. It is a little bit costly though since you spend 12PPs of production to get 11PPs of supply and PP. But the possibility of help is there.

I confirm.

Sent my turn in. Good work on the AAR typhoon. This will be fun.
 
I hope everyone has noted that they have much more production than ready armies. This is intentional to start the scenario of lightly, and so people can design their own armies. So people should be able to vastly expand their armies.

Started turn 3 and sent out. Will send a separate mail with my thoughts on strategy and will try to update the AAR

[Grymme]

Very Nice Lunaticus. With atleast 3 authors i think this AAR might display the scenario very well. And be fun to read even for us.

Hi

as Rohan, i don't know exactly which infantery unit has AA capacity.
Ranger? Longbowmen?

[Grymme]

Both. But Longbowmens is better.

I had the same problem with Yahoo mail. I was told the PBEM file was encrypted and Yahoo can't deal with it so i flags it as a virus threat. I got on gmail as a result. Gmail can't inspeact it but it doesn't flag it as a virus when it gives up trying like Yahoo does.

Turn sent this morning. First elf-sighting for the Orcs
 
Thanks to everyone for different comments and for joining in on the AAR. It really doubles the pleasure of the game. If you have some bugs/commments/suggestions regarding the scenario i would very much appreciate it if you post it in the scenariothread in the mod section. The reason is that i get a lot of mails every day and forget what is where. But the thread has everything gathered there. And i appreciate that you report if something is wrong. Thats what the testgames are for.
