Campaign Game Starting
Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 3:42 pm
I have posted this on the thread, "The Sound You Hear....", in reference to improved artillery historical accuracy. As an afterthought, decided it would be appropriate to have a separate thread for those who are interested in playing Campaigns. Accordingly, ......
As a Civil War artillery enthusiast, I concur with several of Capt. Willard's concerns. Fortunately for all of us, many of these have been addressed in Mr. Gordon's (Mayer) new "Campaign Game" that will be starting in the next few days. Increased range, target effectiveness and ability to manuever, all more representative than the stock OOBs. Additionally, the sides are balanced for fairness and even-handedness, i.e. not one side has a large numerical advantage nor does one side have all militia and the other all verterans. It will be a test of YOUR ability to command troops in a more historical manner or, in other words, are you as good as you think you are
This is a "beta" game adjustment that will require some play-testing and a learning curve. Mr. Gordon is always available for play testing and invites those interested to join in the lobby and give it a whirl!
Also, to join the new Campaign, go www.usvmc.net/csa/
Gentlemen, this a unique opportunity to rise above the normal, daily occupation of all soldiers of all times: "Grousing" (in polite terms)! Be positive in your evaluation, give it a fair shot, recognize it is not the normal "point & click" type of game, and be prepared to experience a more realistic game! You WILL have a good time, once you master the nuances and intricacy's! Give it a try!
Best regards to all,
