- Ken Burns "The Civil War"
While I work more on Legacy of Nations: 1975, I will be running World in Revolution: 1861 Mk. IV. Unlike Legacy of Nations, there will be stricter rules and a more concentrated game-play. This is due to this game wanting to take on a more lean nature. I am re-introducing the tiered system that has been in previous World in Revolution games. This game will have, initially, and extreme focus on the American Civil War - which starts as the centre focus of this game. For this reason, both the United States and Confederate States will be getting more orders, and more attention. The other players can operate as they would normally. However, they will not get any minis and have a smaller number of orders until the Civil War has reached a conclusion.
Updates will happen once every two weeks. Failure to maintain interest in the game, along with lack of ICs, will result in your expulsion and being banned from both 1861 and Legacy of Nations.
Chronic failure to IC and show active participation among the participants will result in the closure of the game.
Orders
Orders are simple, and outlined below. The number of orders you get are determined by the strength of your nation, and your status abroad. Given the number of players, orders will, unfortunately for many, be limited. They will change, but I will make it known on IRC when they do change so you may come and check them out.
The orders must be sent to me or MastahCheef117 in a conversation. Title the conversation "World in Revolution 1861: %COUNTRYNAME%" If you have half a brain, you replace %COUNTRYNAME% with the name of the country you are playing.
You may also send orders to be "stacked" over a period of time, where you may bank orders to be rolled upon, where I take the highest roll out of all of the orders you sent to stack your order.
National Focus: Can be used for anything inside the nation, and only inside the nation. It may not cover military actions, but it could cover military buildup. It is used primary as an order that will not fail, but will not succeed massively either. It's used to ensure that, if you want something done it will get done. It is centred on 7 with a variation of 1. (This means there is a 68.27% chance your roll will be "average," eg between 6 and 8. Anything above and below have a greater effect.)
Normal Orders: Can be used on everything and anything. It is centred on 5 with a variation of 2.5. (This means there is a 68.27% chance your roll will be "average," eg between 2.5 and 7.5. Anything above and below have a greater effect.)
War Orders: Can ONLY be used when actively engaged in combat, and can ONLY be used to direct military action against an enemy force, internal or external. Cannot be used secretly or for covert missions. This can only be done through Normal Orders.
Orders are always due every other Wednesday, 1200 Eastern Canadian Time unless otherwise posted. Failure to tender orders in by that time will incur a -1 Penalty to rolls for every 10 MINUTES you are over the deadline. Failure to send in orders within ONE Hour of the deadline will result in your orders being ignored. Failure to notify me why you did not send orders within ONE Day will result in your expulsion from the game. The Update will normally be on every other Friday or Saturday.
