Two Nations, Many Players - Comments and Sign Up Thread

If I were to volunteer to play Stalin...

...what would that entail? Like...mass dictatorial power over EVERYTHING? :rofl:

I imagine I could do the Northern Commander. How would you mean divide the units? As in...who controls what, or where they go?

I guess I'm having no less trouble with the idea. xD

Any free space in Romania or you’ll play just with Germany and the Soviet Union?
I ask because I see you have some Finnish and Hungarian players, or maybe I got it all wrong.

Sort of. You'd have the power, but I'll kick you out if you abuse it. Unfortunately this is a game, so we can't have a real Stalin pushing people around - who would play?

Well essentially if you control the Army Group, you control everything that any players under you don't - the Army Groups are subdivided into multiple subgroups, which players can take if they don't want to lead the whole Army Group (or if the position is already taken). If a player doesn't control that subgroup, the Army Group Commander does.

Well there are only the two nations in terms of gameplay, but the minor Axis armies are in there. You could take over the Romanian armies if you wanted though - they are seperated in there.

It's a bit confusing, to politely lie to you, but I could try leading the XXIV Army, from Army Group South, as mister Antonescu.

 

[Schlieffen]

Ah, so you've been reading up on our deployments, I see.
The position is yours. Make a leader as outlined at the bottom of the first post and I'll set up access on the discussion forums (private forums that were made just to let each side have some secrecy).

German Intelligence Minister:

Name: Reinhard Heydrich
Ideology: National Socialist
Trait: Logistics Specialist
Loyalty: Very High
Picture: M229

All fear the Hangman!

 

[peer-LAN]

XXIV Army
General Ion Antonescu

Skill 3
Offensive Doctrine, Defensive Doctrine, Engineer

 

[QuidProNihil]

I'll have a go at the Great White North, then...is this good enough?

Soviet AGC North:

Name: Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov
Ideology: Leninist.
Trait: :| Don't know HoI very well...anything you think fits...heh.
Loyalty: Unbending.

Anything else needed?

 

[unmerged(49083)]

El Jefe, Reinhard Heydrich died in 1938 so pick someone else

 

[Blodwen]

No, he died in 1942.

 

[peer-LAN]

No, he died in 1942.

What happens if we don't finish the war until 1942?

 

[Schlieffen]

XXIV Army
General Ion Antonescu

Skill 3
Offensive Doctrine, Defensive Doctrine, Engineer

Either lower his rank by one, his skill by one, or remove one trait - it's just a notch too high.

Soviet AGC North:

Name: Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov
Ideology: Leninist.
Trait: :| Don't know HoI very well...anything you think fits...heh.
Loyalty: Unbending.

This might help: http://hoi2.nsen.ch/wiki/index.php/Leader_Traits
Likewise, I suggest everyone head to the Wiki if you're not sure about other things, like unit strengths and such. Of course those with HOI2 will obviousally be a little better in this department, but I'm sure that they can help you as well so your opponent doesn't have any real advantage.

What happens if we don't finish the war until 1942?

Well he didn't die of natural causes - it's not like we're repeating history, here.
I don't see where he mentioned Heydrich anyways, although I'd hope our leaders would be a little more... pleasant. Remember there are certain subjects we can't talk too much about on these forums, and he's kind of involved in depth in one of the big ones.

 

[peer-LAN]

ok, remove Engineer Trait and we have a deal ?

 

[Schlieffen]

So...
XXIV Army
General Ion Antonescu
Skill 3
Offensive Doctrine, Defensive Doctrine

That's good?

 

[peer-LAN]

yes, make it so...

 

[Schlieffen]

It has been made so.

Adolph Hitler is a character and people are worried about Heydrich? I don't plan on writing an AAR with any banned topics, but I figured Heydrich would make a good villian. Not every character in an AAR should be likable. About the fact aht he died in 1942, as Schlieffen said, he doesn't have to die in this timeline. Second, who says our characters can't die and be replaced?

Eh, it would be my personal preference if I was playing - just so long as none of the "bad stuff" gets mentioned I'm fine. Same with the deaths - if it's based off of a historical person, unless he was dead before Barbarossa he can still be played. (Hitler won't kill himself in a bunker if Germany's winning, for example. )
I got off a little earlier than I thought, but I can't guarentee I'll get much done today. I'll try to get those OOBs up though - I got Soviet Center done yesterday, so I'm hoping to get North and get some on the German side.

Sorry I've been absent the last couple days. Just to check, is the Soviet side of the front all taken care of, ie OOBs and AGCs? I no longer need to command the Northern front myself, correct? And I've just registered at the private forum, should be active there soon.

Per request of the 1st Party Congress, I would like to ask if my minister trait for CoA can be changed to Guns and Butter doctrine. And as far as ministers go, is Thistetooth's avatar still CoS? I'm fine with that, I just want to know if I need to make another minister.

It looks that way. I don't have a leader yet, so don't hang your General hat up quite yet.

Got you before you even posted. I'm that good.

You have been granted Guns with Butter. You can take Chief of Staff as well if you want, since the position doesn't really have any power and I'm pretty sure Thistletooth decided to stick with Armament since the positions weren't really related anymore.
