INTRODUCTION:
I think this game is ready to go but I am sure we will discover many little bugs as we go along which is why I have called it the test version. Diplomacy is vital in this game so be sure to read the info. Hope we have fun. Just need players for France and most importantly Germany, the main protagonists of the scenario!

[Eurisko]

Actually I changed my mind, give me the Germans.

[Lenin]

Da der Russe schon weg ist werde ich nur zugucken.

[Civilionaut]

Freighter (U), nil, 2, 12.,0, 0a, 18d, 3h,1f, 10, 1, 4, nil, 000000000000000

hold = # of holds on ship (for carrying units)

McMonkey, only one?

Den battleships über 70 Verteidigung zu geben ist total gaga

Den battleships über 70 Verteidigung zu geben ist total gaga

That is so to prevent bombers from (unrealistically) being used to sink ships.

And it's not like it makes them too powerful, a veteran battleship still loses or barely wins against a non-veteran infantry unit fortified in a city with coastal defenses.

Civi's observation raises another concern: The Soviets have 3 cargo ships in the med en route to Spain, but each is supposed to carry 2 units. However, since a freight ship can carry only one unit, 3 units will be left floating in the ocean.

Oh, and other things that I'd suggest before we start:

1. Infantry seems kind of infeasible. It's easily surpassed by other units in usefulness at almost the same price. Maybe the cost of infantry should be 120 for all nations (except for the Soviets).

2. Jet fighters don't have the "can attack other aircraft" flag. Also, they should get a bit more defense for their high price, maybe 10 (ie it would take around 2 normal fighters to destroy one).

3. The mobile artillery units of Germany and the US aren't much better than the corps artillery unit which can be built by anyone right off the bat, and is cheaper and stronger to boot. Maybe the corps artillery unit should be weakened a bit, or made slower.

4. The motorized infantry units seem overpriced. It may make sense for the Brits to build them at a price of 180 shields, but 220 and 260 makes them much too overpriced for the Americans and the Germans, respectively. At that price there are much stronger and useful units to be built. So the price should be lowered, maybe 180 for all of them?

I can make all the mentioned changes tomorrow before we start and upload a fixed version to the Scenario League. If you guys can spot any other problems now it would be better to fix them before we start playing. We still need to find players for France and Britain anyway!

[McMonkey]

Surely there are tow players willing to play as the mighty British and French empires?

[Historical Atze]

Ask Cobra and Karlheinz .

[McMonkey]

I have made the fixes mentioned in the posts above and will upload the updated version tomorrow. If anyone spots anything else in the meantime then please let me know

[Takamisakari]

I'd like to take the French.

This scenario is very interesting!

[McMonkey]

Welcome aboard Takamisakari. We just need a player for the British now. I will upload the fixed version to the Scenario League later this evening.

na gut, ich wechsel dann auf England, damit es los geht

@Lenin
das machen wir aber nicht jedesmal

[Eurisko]

Don't hurry, I have very little time until next monday.

[Takamisakari]

Oh man -_-

A turn just needs 5 minutes of your time.
