ONLINE FC CAMPAIGN: Commanders Choice

Dread_Lord · Post by **Dread_Lord** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:06 am

Ok so the bids are in and the good news is that as long as I interperted everything correctly everyone got their first pick!

Here are the bids so everyone can double check me:
Dread_Lord:

Kzinti 2000
Klingon 2000
Fed 2000
Gorn 2000
Rom 2000

Sweeper+SylvrDragon

Klingon 1950
Rom 1965
Fed 1960
Gorn 1970
Kzinti 1975

Guzzoid + Mazza

Rom 1999
Kzinti 1999
Fed 1950
Gorn 1950
Klingon 2000

Sir_Krotar

Fed 1940
Gorn 1940
Rom 1940
Kzinti 2000
Klingon 2000

Which would mean that Sweeper+SylvrDragon get Klingon with 1950 points, Guzzoid + Mazza get the Romulans with 1999 points, Sir_Krotar gets the Feds with 1940 points, and I get the Kzinti with 2000 points.

Sound good to everyone?

Ok the next step is to pick fleets, and to approve rule changes. I will send out the rules to be considered in a little bit. So go ahead and send me your fleet choices when you get the chance.

Oh and the other issue is that guzzoid asked to have a practice round or two. Does everyone else think this is something we should do?

If so then after the practice then fleets could be re-submitted.

I will go with popular vote on this one.

I like the idea of a practice round too. And yay, Romulans!

Sweeper · Post by **Sweeper** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 5:06 pm

Works for me. It took a few tries to the hang of the way the campaign client worked last time and and I clean forgot how it worked.

Sweeper · Post by **Sweeper** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 5:08 pm

And I see that Dread Lord bought Defsats. I have modified copies the SFB defsat as does Sir_Krotar. If any one needs copies, let us know.

Dread_Lord · Post by **Dread_Lord** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 7:36 pm

Oh yes, I should have made sure everyone knew about your hard work. Sweeper was kind enough to put together a definition for Def Sats from Comm 24.

Mmmmm def sats.......

practice sounds good

Dread_Lord · Post by **Dread_Lord** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 3:31 pm

Ok cool, it sounds like a majority would like a practice round. It should probably be two rounds, because the first round is usually pretty quiet (one tip from the first run at this campaign is not to hit the neutral planets with anything but overwhelming forces - basic Sun Tzu)

So don't worry too much about your force selection, because you can redo it if you would like after the practice

After a good amount of thought, I've decided that I must bow out. The campain just won't fit into my schedule right now (other interests have captured my time), and if I force it, I'm afraid I'll end up being a wiener and bailing, ruining the game.

It's mainly the strategic part of the game that I can't squeeze in, but I could be a minor partner with someone, helping fight battles. Otherwise, I would also often be available to be a captain for hire.

Sorry guys.

Sir_Krotar: Well, I am sorry to hear that, but I do know how 'real life' can wreck havoc on one's gaming. You can certainly Captain a Kzinti Ship anytime you would like.

Ok, well we have a vacancy, so we can either go to three empires, or one of the teams with a pair of Captains could step into Sir_Krotar's shoes. Anyone want to fly Feds?

guzzoid · Post by **guzzoid** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 10:16 pm

If we go with 3 empires maybe we should do 2 vs 1 scenario.

Mazza · Post by **Mazza** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 12:15 am

I am worried about over committing myself by saying this... I would probably prefer sharing an empire with guzzoid as planned, but if it is thought that we need four empires, we could probably play a separate one each?

Sir_Krotar · Post by **Sir_Krotar** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 2:17 am

Keep in mind that I can help fight battles when time is tight.

Dread_Lord · Post by **Dread_Lord** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 12:41 pm

Mazza, I would say that it is probably best for you and guzzoid to stick together. So Sweeper or SylvrDragon would either of you like to split and run the fourth empire?

If you guys would prefer to stick together then perhaps doing a 2 on 1 would be best, although to tell the truth my preference would be to run four empires total
