RED FRONT 1.4 Demogame? - Page 4

Oedipus: Captain Nemo made another excellent WWII Scenario called Second Front. It depicts the Normandy landing and subsequent breakout. Originally designed as an FW scenario (where you are allowed to control 2 human civs at once) he has an Army and AirForce civs. This would be perfect for your idea.

Hey! I'm still in my prime, in fact I'd say that I'm better than ever before these last few months if you know what I mean

Anyways, it looks like we'll need to rely on MarkG and DanQ to provide us with a forum, the other demo game people aren't too keen on playing scenarios. something about "pure" civ or something like that

Please Mark and Dan!

Red Front Super war...I can't wait!

This will be Civ2 gaming history made true!

We should sell the movie rights ASAP!

curtsibling · March 12, 2003, 05:12

Your organisation plans are great FMK!

It is true, the German AI does spawn hideous amounts of armour and troops!
If only we could crack that impossible CIV2 units limit.

Hey, but we can take these guys, we can take em'!

Henrik · March 12, 2003, 07:26

Cool, now we have our own forum!

our_man · March 12, 2003, 07:27

Wahey! We have a forum! Thanks MarkG/Dan.

Let's get the ball rolling!

Henrik · March 12, 2003, 07:32

Yay, just joined the new civ group.

greeny · March 12, 2003, 08:48

H Tower: you're the one with experiance in demo games here so I expect you are right about the number of positions we should have. We could always add new ones later if there does prove to be susstained interest.

I therefore suggest that the Marshal has exclusive contol of the patisans and the NKVD to represent their independance.

p.s. our own forum yay!

Paul Hanson · March 12, 2003, 09:34

Well, we seem to be on our way now.

H Tower · March 12, 2003, 11:08

/me resists the urge to start multiple threads dealing with points of contention discovered in this thread.

greeny · March 12, 2003, 14:35

Let's get things moving then shall we?
And elect a Marshal (I have a bit of an idea who it's going to be

) but for the look of the thing:
Who wants to step forward as a candidate so we can vote on it? (so we can then shoot him in the back of the head when he's not looking)

If you have room for another citizen, sign me up

I have yet to finish RF

- I'm in 1942 in my current game, hanging on by a thread

. So, I'd be interested to see how this game goes, even as just an observer.

I strongly recommend that the candidates for Marshal have a good deal of RF experience

naervod · March 12, 2003, 23:32

I would like to check this out. Sign me up. My problem is I have only played RF at my friends houses and have yet to obtain MGE. Does anyone know where I can get it?

Pap1723 · March 13, 2003, 00:00

I would like to nominate FMK as General Secretary of the United Socialist Soviet Republics.

which brings up a good point, this thread was a nice begining, but we've got our own forum now and can split up the multiple topics begun in this thread into several threads where people can make their ideas clear and not have to go hunting for ideas on each topic

Red Front needs either MGE or FW (or ultimate?)

Is anyone sure whether the files at Civfanatics corrupted or not?

Shaka Naldur · March 13, 2003, 07:54

the files at the spanish apolyton forum are ok

Pevonian · March 13, 2003, 12:04

Good thing I check the Civ2 section still or I'd have missed this gem...

Count me in as someone small and unimportant, maybe a newspaper reporter... BTW, is that the same DuckofFlanders as know on the Medieval Total War boards?

MRT144 · March 13, 2003, 13:54

Id like to possibly get in on this...

what do i need though?

Paul Hanson · March 13, 2003, 14:37

Just to join the RF Civgroup and check out the other threads. Put your name forward for the position that you're most interested: I don't think anyone's made any decisions yet.

Master Zen · March 13, 2003, 17:14

I'd like to join!!!

For the moment I'd like to assist one of the Front Commanders and later perhaps (time permitting) take a more active role.

MRT144 · March 13, 2003, 18:03

Man, the scope of this scenario done democracy style will be OFF THE ****ING YAZLEBOB!

BTW, what do you think will become of evil-evil finalnd

klesh · March 13, 2003, 18:19

We've got some intersting plans for the evil-evil ones.

We'll first begin returning all the coastline back to Norway that they've been stealing.

-FMK.

Six Thousand Year Old Man · March 13, 2003, 19:25

My thoughts (as a new citizen):

-The unit limit is 2048, IIRC. We were bumping up to that in one of the non-scenario succession games a couple of years ago.

-I think I understand how the play order works. I gather the Marshal just hits 'enter' after the last Front Commander has played and then documents AI moves? May I suggest that since it's likely that 1 or more Front Commanders may be indisposed during their turn to move, that the Marshal have discretion to control the Front in question in the Commander's absence.

Otherwise... with 6 front commanders and a Marshal, you need 1 day per person, or a week, absolute minimum, per turn. Realistically, most people can't play (effectively) on 1 day's notice, so each month of game time will be about 2-3 weeks real time. Unless the Marshal strictly enforces a time limit to play, this game will never finish.

my 2 kopecks worth.

Six Thousand Year Old Man · March 13, 2003, 19:27

double post

MRT144 · March 13, 2003, 19:29

maybe have 2nd in commands?

klesh · March 13, 2003, 20:52

6 thousand: We have a game in the PBEm forum that is approaching 2 years old. IIRC, it has moved 6 game years in a scenairo covering 50 game years total. Its going to take awhile sure. No rush.

I think the Marshal will have to do alot of moving along and sometimes personally command a front for a turn here and there. We do have to be realistic in the timeframe, you're right.

that better be after we liberate Norway from Germany

MRT144 · March 14, 2003, 02:54

and so it begins!

naervod · March 15, 2003, 00:41

I can't seem to find the files at the Spanish site, and the MGE files at Civ Fanatics aren't working so I'll try the FW file at CivFanatics.
