Is this game a scenario type of game like HPS Waterloo ?

<br />Status on this: Sent a form to Stephane today for him to complete. He is welcome to have some of the guys that are playing in both games to help him out. The more that look this over the better.

As with all new games the form that is sent to us will be carefully reviewed by all major club contributers such as Admin folks, commanders, Cabinet, etc. prior to it being added to the club.

Please continue to voice your opinion on this game series. The topic will remain as a Sticky as long as needed.

John - I was not able to get the game to run very well on my PCs. Its up to the other guys as to whether they want to add the game in.

Check with Stephane and the others. They may have a better answer than mine.

Game is scenario/turn based so scoring would be easy but the sides are not easy to figure. Each player fights the others. Its not a true MP-Team game so a new form would be needed.

Again, check with the other guys. They may have finished another game by now. We had to drop out test game when three of us had to drop.

Hi John.

I am in a bit of a rush right now.

So here is a little rundown,

To date all games have stopped only because a new patch is coming out very soon,
Some of the things in the game needed to be worked on,and the new patch is being tested now.If all works with the new patch,The game would be Great.
There was two games on the go,with 5 or 6 players in,

The only thing with this is it can take a long time to play and a lot of members may not like the time side of the game,
So if this is going to be played with all sides played by members they must be able to do a fast turn around,

Now saying all this Me and Bill Peterson,Played a two player game ,With Bill in command of the Russians and the Austrians and me in Command of the French and the Spanish,Now this was a fast turn around,and it got me waiting for the next turn to come in as the game was a lot of fun,
Span Won the game on the 52nd turn but we kept the game going,and tested to see what the AI was like playing the other sides,
We Joined all 4 Armys together to see what we could do,And took many lands from Prussai to Sweden Turkey and a lot of minor places,

By the 72nd turn we ended the game,The British AI was very good,and we could not get over to England to take out there Armys and then the land,
The USA takes a Big part in this game in the Sea,

All in all I think this is a Great game,Lots to do ,The AI plays very well and it would take a long time to win against it,

I also think it would be best played with 4 good turn around Players,

,Now one of the 5 player games will start again as soon as this new patch comes out,I wil let you all know what i think.[;)]

Gentlemen

I have not yet played this game but the reports are most encouraging. However, I concerns about introducing new game systems to the club. The NWC was set up for those with a common interest in John Tillers games. We have a club where a large number of players and a small number of games, Battleground and HPS. If we start introducing new games, will this dilute the club so that it splinters into separate groups playing their preffered game systems? Will we have people joining only to play Matrix Games's offerings and with no interest in John Tiller's games?
