Noob question

When are new units created? I've conquered 4 or 5 supply centres but still only have 3 units. The friend I'm playing against has 6. In depth explanation would be awesome. Thanks

Sopwith

I'd like to GM a game of Sopwith. 6 players are needed, turns will be approx. 3 day turnaround.
here is a link to the map: http://postimg.org/image/5btuenkyf/
and the rules: http://www.fwtwr.com/sopstats/rules.htm#No%20Move%20Note

I'd be interested in that. I'm a little unclear on where we play, though.

Looks cool. I'd be interested. Will you be trying to host it here?

----

I'll adjudicate the map each turn and post a link (like I did for the prelim map above) in this thread. I'll also collate player's scores and make that available for rankings etc...

So PM me your orders each turn (and anything you would like me to announce each turn), and PM one another as it's full press.

Not even after I made a cool animation showing the first turn?
And promise to make cool animations showing each turn as you play it?

(also we can set up a dummy diplomacy game to encourage chat amongst players, so as not to have to rely on the internal PM system...)

Lukas Podolski (1234 )
31 Oct 13 UTC

Huh!?

kaner406 (2103 )
31 Oct 13 UTC

well the first game is running now. I'll most likely start a second one when the first finishes, or perhaps earlier - but will advertise for interest.

Basically I'll run 1 maybe 2 games at a time while there is interest in people playing it. As players VPs add up (and subtract) I'll keep a tally of how many they have. If they have over 40 VPs then they are considered 'aces' and can perform the Immelman turn and gain a bonus in firing.

kaner406 (2103 )
31 Oct 13 UTC

so to answer your question...

on the Hall of Fame, how many diplomacy games in total will be played?

get it?
Q. How long is a piece of string?
A. As long as you want it to be.

Lukas Podolski (1234 )
31 Oct 13 UTC

Ah I see. So there will be no ending point where someone is declared the overall winner?

So am I correct to say that eventually all players in a game may start out as aces?

kaner406 (2103 )
31 Oct 13 UTC

it's quite possible that happens. It all depends on how big the pool of interested players happens to be.

kaner406 (2103 )
31 Oct 13 UTC

*1st question - no there is no end point.

New WWIV font colours suck dog balls

I greatly appreciate the new WWIV map, but seriously some of those font colours for players are horrendous. While it may not be a perfect match with their colour on the board, its something that needs majorly fixing.
