EDIT: And I know most of you guys like PE scenarios, but I tried it under the most current beta and there are a fair few things that are no longer any good because of all the changes made to eu2 since the last version came out. Either I would suggest a modded PE, or else we choose a scenario a little more up to date. :wacko:

My scenarios are perfectly up to date! :nods:

Tuesdays are a good day for me.

If there is room I would like to participate.

I have no strong preferences regarding scenarios and nation to play. Regarding "unbalanced" scenarios in reference to the strength of nations (a common complaint) such unbalance to some extent exists in all scenarios. IMO it is not necessary to balance it through edits, it is always up to the players to eliminate it by proper foreign policy.

What I do have a strong preference about is that the rules are clear and that the crew is "good". I was part of Battlefront 2 when that game collapsed due to lack of dedication and reliability of the players. That was not nice. I do hope Fredrik that you select players more carefully this time. My list of priorities looks like this

1. Reliable players (be on time, no "bad quits" like merely because you are not as succesful as you had hoped for)
2a) Dedicated players
2b) Fun players
3. Strong players

I believe most GMs normally get this list of prios upside down, unfortunately. :(

People who do not fulfil prio 1 should not be allowed to join the game at all, it should be imperative that you fit prio 1.

-----

When one reads what has taken place in the Return Unleashed and compares the list of players in that game with this game one becomes a little unsure if it is wise to join this game... :confused:

With PE1520 i mean an edited version.
What we edit or not will be decieded together :)

I would like to try out the 1453 scenario also, but it is to unbalanced and what damo said it seldom survive through 1600s.
But i'm up for ideas though, like edit it a bit. :)

Will we be dishing out nations on a first come, first serve basis, or a CQS style everyone lists the nations they want in order and then dice are rolled to see who gets what first etc? If the second, it might be a good idea to request picks now
I will dish out nations and hopefully fulfil everyones preferences, but a balanced game setup is the key here, which i will take into consideration.
No-one will, of course, not play anything they dont want to play. It's a big puzzel but it is indeed worth the effort as it is essential for the survival of the game. :)

It's usually no problems, as it worked out fine both in BF1 and BF2. But with the difference that we have a much more balanced player setup in this game which is good.

First, we must decied on what day to play, time, what scenario and we also need a full crew. All of this, especially the latter, is still ongoing.
Besides, we will do the country picking when the game thread is up, which will happen when the four questions above is answered :)

I think Daniel referred to Drake threatening to quit in Exploded when I threatened to attack him.

But that's understandable, a lot of players rather quit than face my armies on the battlefield :p

...and what skill would that be, influencing the rolls so that you still win even if you have a 1 -4 vs 8 modifier?

Really? Then how come I count 3 players alone on this (edit: the page on which Fred's post was, not this post) page who have quit Slargos' latest Unelashed? ;)

You know, Daniel probably had kids, a volvo, a dog and a girl friend when you still sucked your mothers tits :eek:

It was saying it jokingly, which I'm sure Daniel, unlike you, realise.

And I find your comment about my mother truely insulting, and shall consider contacting the moderators.

I didn't say that. You can't compare an EU2 battle to a CM match. And I didn't even say that luck didn't exist there either, I just said that winning when you have more chances than the opponent and when your players have a better average rating than the opponent is not luck. And by God, I stand by that comment.
