Spoiler: Initial Notes - Please Read (click to show/hide)

Please note that this is open to both "lurkers" and active players. The lurkers have more money to spend but are not as coordinated. In this stage of the campaign it's everyone vs. me.

You turn on the TV and flip through channels. You decide to watch the news.


*Hello and welcome to the Channel 337 News. Word is out that the mysterious organization of the Tolyan Empire has ignited a war. The world gasps as even the most civilized and pacifist countries are thrown into the flames versus the Empire.
Kenny?*

*Thank you Jan.
This is Kenny Johnson here.
Governments are seeking commanders of great military intelligence. Few have applied for fear of a great task. Meanwhile, we're seeing the mobilization of the world's second largest military force right here. It seems everyone, even TolyK, will be honoring the anti-nuclear Flinkham convention. However this won't hold down the ferocity of the war. Many units are being sent into APC's right now. The future is dark.*

*AND LET US INTERRUPT YOUR WONDERFUL PROGRAM PAUSE YOUR NEWS FOR THIS SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!*

((10 minutes of ads  ))

*Anyway, as I was saying. Be careful. Be ready. Apply now. The world is in your hands.*


This is a forum wargame using ASCII. I'm drawing in Excel.

This is the first part of the campaign. The entire Bay12 community, both lurkers and active individuals alike, will team up against me and try to take me out.

looks like a mix of AW and chess. If I don't end up joining I'll definitely watch.

actually a bit. I got some inspiration from AW.

Also, would you rather player vs player or Bay12 vs computer?

I guess I'll start with player-player-player-...-computer

[TolyK]

Okay this is the basics of how units look. Surrounded units... well they lose all armor I guess.

[adwarf]

[adwarf]

I know what I'll put up a poll!

Excel is fine for me because of the borders (armor values).

May I request a sniper unit please

oops, I forgot that. uh... it'll be " ok?

[TolyK]

sniper added.

[filiusenox]

I guess i'll play if i don't have to fill out a characther sheet or do math.

just keep watching. if people decide they want individuals involved then I'll post rules about making armies. Just get whatever you need for X amount of cash, really.

[adwarf]

Yay we fight toylk but if we do we should each get a group of soldiers to control

[TolyK]

you do 
each a different color. up to ... 5/6 armies (depends on colorscheme I choose). so if going by the last plan, there will be a community-controlled force, several player forces, and mine.

if going by the most popular, though... it's going to be bay12 vs (several ) NPC armies. that will fight between each other.
