Cold War Crisis released!

jim panse · April 5, 2003, 05:51

After a final test over the last 2 nights I decided today to release my "Cold War Crisis" scenario.

This features not only the "mail" protagonists of the Cold War. It kicks off immediately after the Cuban Missile Crisis in late 1962 and gives you also the opportunity to play as some "underdog" like the United Arab Republic, the State of Israel of the People´s Republic of Yugoslavia ....

Have fun & please report if you should find any kind of errors and/or bugs.

And don´t forget to turn the sound off .....

*nothing more to add*

Very cool stuff!

I will give it a playtest and get back to you, dude!

WarVoid · April 5, 2003, 13:13

UAR and Arab League BOTH as playable civs!!! I think i'm in love with this scenario already!!!

I will leave feedback for sure on this one!

This has been out for a while, hasn't it? I distinctly remember playing through most of a game as NATO until I had to wipe my entire hard drive.

jim panse · April 5, 2003, 14:06

Well, I pre-released it for a PBEM playtest a while ago but the game died away ... maybe there will be an update if you´re interested in it ....

Just let me know ...

Paul Hanson · April 5, 2003, 14:39

Ah right. Shame; it's a really enjoyable scenario, especially when you build NATO up and take on the USSR. And win.

Is this the same version I playtested in (and, as Yugoslavia, got promptly annihilated)?

jim panse · April 6, 2003, 03:34

Yes, it is mostly. But remember that (1) the AI cannot wipe you out in one turn, and (2) the last laugh is on you.

Shaka Naldur · April 6, 2003, 10:59

i guess it will be for pbem game

Iron Chancellor · April 6, 2003, 17:49

Without a doubt.

WarVoid · April 7, 2003, 19:23

1963: UAR forces smash through West Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, annihilating the State of Israel.

1965: UAR forces smash through Arab League defenses in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

I like this scenario. I like it very much.

Iron Chancellor · April 7, 2003, 19:56

It does let you blow the holy heck out of everything in the world, I must say. It's nice to have game in which to unleash death and destruction with all sorts of shiny and expensive weapons

It´s a pleasure to see you guys like it

though I also have to confess that it´s a little bit boring and non-challenging against the AI ..... as usual.

When does the pbem start!!

Sorry, Shaka, I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to Jim Panse's comment #2 located just above yours, and was too lazy to quote him.

jasev · April 9, 2003, 06:37

Jim, do you allow me to upload it to the Spanish Civilization Site?

Please?

Be my guest, Warvoid

techumseh · April 10, 2003, 05:47

Did you get my email?

jim panse · April 10, 2003, 06:01

Yeah, I did get your email, Brian. Sorry for not having responded yet but I had a lot of weird things to do last week. Please accept my apologies.

Concerning your Helicopter, an undate is under construction.

techumseh · April 10, 2003, 06:30

No problem. Thanks.

Ramsses · April 10, 2003, 11:04

I like the scenario but it's a pity you didn't made it on a gigamap.

Maybe the net version ...

Thanks, Jim.

I think it's kinda fitting for my site anyways, since it's one of the few scenarios set in the Cold War with two playable Arab powers. And major ones to boot. Not to mention it has wonderful replayability.

I'm looking forward to that net version.
