    Default Battles of the World

    Hi all,

    A new idea! Heres how it goes.


    Intro

    In this game your a general, in command of an army (you pick whos in the army) And you face someone else (another person) in a battle. There shall be a map and everything, then you put markers on where your forces are and we start battle.


    The objective of this game is to be reigning champion. To do that you have to win 5 battles in a row, everytime you win against the other person, you can say bye (and they go to the back of the queue) OR you can offer them the position of a lower in rank officer. (Giving them the chance to continue playing) but they can say no.


    The Concept

    Everytime time the map (the battlefield) shall be randomly generated. With squares and stuff.

    I shall post a list of how much money you can spend, and the limit of soldiers. Then I shall post a list of soliders you can recruit (all with a cost).

    Once you have picked from the list of soldiers, I shall post a map. It shall have coordinates on it, so you choose the coordinates you want your soldiers to be on. Then I shall post it on this thread. Then you PM me the moves of your units (one move per turn), at the same time you have to use your battlefield! As the time period is also randomly generated. One minute your fighting in Roman Times, then you fighting sometime during WW2!

    When two units fight

    WHen the two units fight I shall roll a dice for each unit. The one with the highest number loses 1 soldier. Until eventually the unit is dwad. The aim of battles is to make sure all of your enemies units are defeated.

    The Level Advance
    Every time you defeat a enemy you advance a level. Once you reach the 5th level you become the champion! Thats until someone else can beat you!



    Questions?

    Please feel free to ask questions, as the rules still need polishing!


    Current Champion: No one

    Signed Up To FIght:
    level 1: CountArach vs Xehh II (The First Battle Ready to Lauch! Shall start soon!)
    Level2: The Winner of last battle vs pevergreen
    Will add next level match when lvl 1 is resolved.

    I'm in...

    I've tried to run something somewhat similar to this on another forum and my best piece of advice is:

    Make sure you WANT to dedicate the time to this.

    For this one I shall have little sessions where I work on maps and stuff. it should take about 1 hour to do a map, then the rest is cruising until next level!

    Egypt, for a time, was French controlled, so presumably I imported them.

    Ummm, now for the big question - How many men are there in each unit? Also should I PM my army to you?

    Hm... and I was going to start a (vaguely) similar concept here too.
    However, mine was chess-like-mechanical-moves-with-known-results rather than dice-based, and units get pushed or annhilated rather than taking casualties. I'd have started it, but it relies on facing, which would take too long to do.

    Best of luck!
