Glad to see you're still chuggin' away at this game, Jo.  O0  Can't wait to see a working product!
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Scenario card (white numbers are for number of this type)


won this playtest scenario after 3.5 hours first time. Well I added some flamethrowers and a 81mm Mortar before.
On bottom a captured russina gun. On the right a Sig Ib out of ammo (they are so bad). 
The hot temperature kindles a lot. Finaly won with one mobile tank in turn 18.

this old links to facebook pictures are not accssesable after a while what is sad.
I now try to link to a new source

And all of a sudden I can see the pictures  :bd:

I guess it was an issue on my side.  In Belgium when you don't have a Facebook account you are blocked from all Facebook content so that must have been why I couldn't see any pictures until now.

As of today, anyone who is not a member of Facebook will no longer have access to Facebook. Not even to pages that were previously public, such as those of shops or cafes. Facebook only does this in Belgium for the time being, because the company has been convicted here because it also follows the surfing behavior of non-users.

Yes, I had been suffering from the same blockage of pictures (although by pasting the raw link of the picture into another browser I could see that picture, but that was far too much trouble, as I had to look at the page source code to get that link.

Happy to see the pictures, and ceterum censeo Facebook delendum esse.

It is the new pictures I can see.  The old ones still don't show.  But like I said that is a local issue.

This is coming on really well. Are you planning linked/dynamic campaigns for the battles?
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

yes campaigns are in  the works.
there will be no shopping. layer just can send request for reinforcements and supply to the regimental or divisonal HQ.
if these request will be fullfilled is uncertain. at least that is the plan.
