I have this great idea for an alt-Britain where Victoria is born as Victor and inherits the crowns of England (without catholic Ireland! damn those Stuarts) and Hannover, then spends his reign trying to forge a proper nation out of them. Amongst other stuff. I played a huge session of Mage: The Asce...

Speaking of tanks, I'd just like to state that in order to comply with the rules, the most advanced tank you have at game start in 1930 and until at least 1935 in our game should be equivalent to or less advanced than the German Panzer II or any other tank built up to 1935/36. Gentlemen (and lady), ...

So our tech will permit some consideration, with development, of having an army we can use to charge across flat land while Sabaton "Panzer Battalion" blares in our ears? :wink: Well, "Panzer Battalion" is more fun as a song than " The Price of a Mile "..... 40 to 1 or Primo Victoria are more relev...

This joe's opinion on true cavalry (not mounted infantrymen - I differentiate the two in my ruleset for good reason) is that they make fine scouts until they're replaced by motorcycle troops (which Japan will be doing) or get into an engagement with anything bearing an internal combustion engine an...

Japan almost certainly has. Probably a give-take war against Russia in the 190Xs (Hadri willing) or whoever owned the Phillipines before Japan. I think an interesting war would be one against Cascadia Pacifica, jostling for control of the Pacific Islands. Not sure I'd be willing to go any deeper int...

Your statement lent itself to multiple interpretations. Evidently, I chose a wrong one. My apologies. Apologies accepted Captain Needa. No wait, that doesn't quite have the ring I was going for. :wink: It's nothing. You have no way of knowing that I went on a WW1 kick a few years back and read a bu...

I'm not really interested in playing a 1930s game. I was looking forward to something between 1900 and 1910, which does not necessarily mean trench warfare, and fun stuff like the development of ABG warships, of early aircraft, of the earliest small-unit tactics. I was especially looking forward to ...

Speaking as a vet of a modern war. Infantry is not just a rear guard. Kindly remain in reality when describing your dislikes. I was referring to the worst case, with everybody using nothing but blitzkrieg doctrine all the time and expecting their wunderpanzers to secure victory all by themselves. A...

Infantry was far from irrelevant in the tank era. They're essential. The biggest fear a tanker had was a concealed antitank gun blowing his ass away (that's ground pounders 1, tankers 0) before he knew it was there. And that's without talking about city fighting, which is a nightmare for tanks. Goo...

I too find trench warfare to be interesting. Especially the process of adapting from open-field warfare to the tactics required to gain ground in a siege-warfare situation. As far as tanks go, I'm 110% against them until the Great War happens and things are so incredibly bloody and stagnant that the...

Frankly, I could work with either system, but Hadrian's would give me more leeway to build the sort of distinctly-Roman army that I had in mind. Then again, that might not necessarily be a good thing. I have an auxiliary system, but it didn't meet Frigid's criteria, so I didn't post it. I'll post i...

Everything is so much easier when all the numbers end in 5 or 0. ;)Hadrianvs wrote:Yes, exactly one point better.Ezekiel wrote:I can do Hadrianus one better on creating a 100pt army. Observe!
As I said already, your ideas are good, they're just not good this time. Not within the criteria ("simple") and all.

I can do Hadrianus one better on creating a 100pt army. Observe! 100 -6 Foot Infantry Divisions (60) 40 -6 Artillery Regiments (30) 10 -2 Engineer Regiments (10) This makes two corps of the following: -3 Foot Infantry Divisions (27,000 riflemen & 3000 scout cavalry) -3 Divisional Artillery Regiments...

Hadrian, I gotta say that your idea is a good one, just not for this game. Frigid said he wanted something simple, and yours is unfortunately not. You should definately develop it further though, make a system of your own for another game or sommat. Ironically, I too was going to make a regiment/bri...

That's...all you have to say? That a couple players might bitch about not having air forces yet? :|frigidmagi wrote:I can think of 2 or 3 players that won't wash for.

Well, I know Zeke will grumble in irritation of the SDN counterpart being brought up, but I just proposed a system for defining sophistication of armed forces - at least Army and Air Force - by a combination of specific Focus score with Industry and Economy. *grumblegrumble* :smile: Okay, going fro...
