Barthheart -> RE: DVG NEWS! (7/14/2010 2:56:55 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: E quote: ORIGINAL: Barthheart Also VASSAL does not calculate anything. You still have to do all the calculations yourself. VASSAL _can_ do calculations. But more importantly and/or succinctly, they are limited, at best. However, you should see what you can do with dynamic properties and an auto-end-of-movement-key. You can do a lot just with those two capabilities. For instance, several years ago I had a Firepower module auto-calculating and displaying all height-units for the player(s). Not exciting, but technically a calculation. grin Cool! Is that AH's Firepower? The modern squad based game? Could I get a copy of the module? [:)]

I knew Barthheart didn't know what he was talking about. One of those slam dunk got slammed in yer face caught yah's. [:-]

MajFrankBurns, Please find some civility for your fellow forum members or you'll get some time off from the forum to think things over. Regards, - Erik

MajFrankBurns -> RE: DVG NEWS! (7/14/2010 5:32:16 PM)
I think I'm being pretty civil myself considering the rebuttals I'm getting that you're doing nothing about. like this one: quote: ah mine makes more of a <F@%K YOU> type of sound But I guess others can do what they want and you just "key" on me because I don't see every game you make as a gift from god.

Erik Rutins -> RE: DVG NEWS! (7/14/2010 7:33:20 PM)
Where might that one be? You can reply to me by e-mail at erikr@matrixgames.com and I will address that with whoever posted it. I saw you post another uncivil comment in the Business Models thread after my warning. As a result, your account is banned for a week while you reconsider following the forum rules. It may come as a surprise to you that being uncivil to others tends to promote the same behavior in return, which is why we don't allow those kinds of posts on our forum. If you have any questions, e-mail me at erikr@matrixgames.com. After the week has passed, your account will be reinstated as soon as you e-mail me to confirm that you understand and will follow the forum rules. Regards, - Erik

JudgeDredd -> RE: DVG NEWS! (7/14/2010 9:08:44 PM)
Erik That comment wasn't directed at MFB. Eddy made a comment to him and put <plonk> on the end...Punk Reaper asked what the <plonk> was for and I said I thought it was the sound the ignore button makes...Punk Reaper then said what is quoted above. It wasn't directed at MFB...he was just making a funneh comment about what his ignore button sounds like. I doubt he even has MFB on ignore

PunkReaper -> RE: DVG NEWS! (7/14/2010 9:14:44 PM)
Sorry Erik..... will promise to behave. [8\|] I will go immediately and buy BftB

Put another way, what are the mechincs of your game in a nutshell? Thanks, Adam.

quote: ORIGINAL: MajFrankBurns Sorry but anyone who is anyone knows if it's a computer game it "has to have an ai". Anything else is just a prop that uses a computer to calculate battle odds and outcomes like vassal does. That's not a computer "game". Oh by the way, DVG solitaire games like Hornet Leader or Field Command when ported to the computer will not have an AI. So are they still computer games? But in developing a computer game most developers do think that an AI should go with it in order to have a broader appeal.

What about Phantom Leader? It's a DVG game that is on my computer! So it meets all the criteria for a computer game! grin [image]local://upfiles/26541/70C680A96AD54B1F811A21796D5A0493.jpg[/image]

jomni -> RE: DVG NEWS! (7/15/2010 6:09:02 AM)
Wha! There's now a Phantom Leader Vassal? I didn't know that. Where to do I download it from? Vassal or DVG?

quote: ORIGINAL: jomni Wha! There's now a Phantom Leader Vassal? I didn't know that. There isn't. ...Quite yet. quote: ORIGINAL: jomni Where to do I download it from? Vassal or DVG? Well, I did the module for myself primarily (because I just picked up the game last week). However, when I get done tweaking it (probably next week), I planned on seeing if DVG wanted anything to do with it. I couldn't legally or morally share it without specific permissions, as the module is the whole game.

jomni -> RE: DVG NEWS! (7/15/2010 8:22:36 AM)
Ah so it's personal. I've been bugging Dan about a Vassal version but he said he want's to avoid it for now.

HORNET LEADER Revised rulebook - with Sample Game! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/33/Hornet%20Leader%20-%20Carrier%20Air%20Operations PHANTOM LEADER The sample game had some bumps. Thank you Hans Korting for smoothing them out! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/20/Phantom%20Leader

HORNET LEADER Just uploaded the Box Back! http://images.dvg.com/www.dvg.com/hornetboxback.jpg PRE-ORDERS Updated numbers! www.dvg.com

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (8/15/2010 3:35:33 AM)
HORNET LEADER This is probably the last reminder for Hornet Leader pre-orders and box names. If you've pre-ordered, send me an email at: dan (at) dvg (dot) com to get your name on the boxes. Updated back of box! http://images.dvg.com/www.dvg.com/hornetboxback.jpg Updated rules! http://images.dvg.com/www.dvg.com/hornetrules.pdf PHANTOM LEADER Great review by Michael Barnes http://www.gameshark.com/features/738/Cracked-LCD-160-Phantom-Leader-Review.htm ...and player comments http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2054:phantom-leader-in-review&catid=51:reviews&Itemid=100251 PRE-ORDERS Updated numbers! GUNS BLAZING Guns Blazing has finished printing and we'll be shipping games in 3 or 4 weeks! www.dvg.com

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (8/16/2010 6:40:00 AM)
Thank you for the wave of Hornet pre-orders! I've updated the back of the box... http://images.dvg.com/www.dvg.com/hornetboxback.jpg www.dvg.com

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (8/19/2010 2:01:51 AM)
Updated names on back of Hornet box... http://images.dvg.com/www.dvg.com/hornetboxback.jpg We'll be proofing for 1 or 2 more days, then off to the printer! Proofing 480 sides of Pilot cards (240 actual Pilot cards), 60 Target cards, 30 Event cards, 8 Campaign sheets, Tactical Sheet, Help Sheet, and Rulebook takes a while! :)

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (8/22/2010 9:31:39 AM)
HORNET LEADER Updated names on back of Hornet box. http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/33/Hornet%20Leader%20-%20Carrier%20Air%20Operations We're finishing the editing! We should be able to send the files in about 24 hours! This is the last chance to pre-order and get your name on the boxes. MODERN NAVAL BATTLES Mac Walker has done a great job of using the MNB core card game to run a miniatures game. Here's the link to his blog... http://macslittlefriends.blogspot.com/2010/08/modern-naval-battles.html

HORNET LEADER Updated names on back of Hornet box. Doing final edits now. :) http://images.dvg.com/www.dvg.com/hornetboxback.jpg

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (8/26/2010 5:27:18 PM)
HORNET LEADER Updated names on back of Hornet box and rulebook. The proofing is done, but, being so close to the weekend, we're going to hold the files for a couple more days just to go over them a few more times. If we sent them on Friday, the printer probably won't look at them until Monday anyway. http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/33/Hornet%20Leader%20-%20Carrier%20Air%20Operations www.dvg.com

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (9/3/2010 10:36:42 AM)
HORNET LEADER The printer is examining the files and we should have sample games in a couple weeks! We have not raised the pre-order price to the standard price but will do so in a few days. We’ve also uploaded the final rulebook. http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/33/Hornet%20Leader%20-%20Carrier%20Air%20Operations FIELD COMMANDER ALEXANDER We also ordered an Alexander reprint! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/21/Field%20Commander%20-%20Alexander%20the%20Great FIELD COMMANDER NAPOLEON We’re going to take a couple days off, then resume work on Napoleon. We should have new art, rules, etc posted in a week or two. U-BOAT LEADER Dave Schueler’s much asked about design that combines the Leader system with strategic and tactical WWII submarine warfare will soon be offered for pre-order! FRONTLINE - GUADALCANAL Will soon be offered for pre-order! MODERN NAVAL BATTLES We’ve had a lot of interest for more ship cards. We’re thinking of releasing a 110-card ship expansion. The expansion would add more ships to the existing fleets, and add a few new countries, such as Canada, Germany, and a couple more.

jomni -> RE: DVG NEWS! (9/4/2010 9:12:05 AM)
U-Boat leader sounds interesting.

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (9/22/2010 2:40:57 AM)
Jomni - Thank you! U-Boat is looking very good! We'll have it up for pre-order very soon.

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (9/22/2010 2:41:16 AM)
GUNS BLAZING - HAS LANDED! The Guns Blazing games and extra cards have arrived. We have started shipping the pre-order games and they should all be in the mail by Wednesday. http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/29/Down%20In%20Flames%20-%20Guns%20Blazing PHANTOM LEADER CARDS The Pigeon and Gringo cards had minor typos. When we printed Guns Blazing, we ordered a short run of errata cards. Email us with your address if you would like the 2 cards. We only have a limited quantity. http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/20/Phantom%20Leader FIELD COMMANDER NAPOLEON Updated slideshow and map! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/35/Field%20Commander%20Napoleon

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (10/2/2010 10:28:25 PM)
U-BOAT LEADER We’ve launched U-Boat Leader for pre-order! Dave Schueler has done an outstanding job of taking the Leader series back to the Battle for the North Atlantic. U-Boat Leader places you in command of Germany’s U-Boats as you attempt to cut-off Britain’s vital supply link. The game allows you to deploy your boats and carryout strategic operations, and then zoom into the tactical battle level when your subs make contact with enemy ships. If you are a fan of the Leader series, solitaire games, WWII, or naval games - please take a look at this game! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/38/U-Boat%20Leader HORNET LEADER We just received the printer sample and they look amazing! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/ch/news The games should arrive at the start of December. We’re hoping to get the games to people in time for Christmas. PHANTOM LEADER - REPLACEMENT CARDS We really (really) underestimated the response from people requesting replacement cards. We’ve mailed the first batch and have ordered a second printing. They will arrive with the Hornet Leader cards. GUNS BLAZING Guns Blazing has launched! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/29/Down%20In%20Flames%20-%20Guns%20Blazing We are very happy with the game and are pleased to expand the Down In Flames universe! FIELD COMMANDER ALEXANDER Alexander will be back in print! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/21/Field%20Commander%20-%20Alexander%20the%20Great We’re printing Alexander right now along with Hornet Leader! VENDETTA We’ve created a promotional video for Vendetta on the Kickstarter web site. We are honoring the promotions on the DVG site as well as the Kickstarter promotions. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/80793621/vendetta-the-gangster-card-game MODERN NAVAL BATTLES MNB will be in stock again when we print Napoleon in a couple months! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/1/Modern%20Naval%20Battles%20-%20Global%20Warfare We will soon announce a 110-card Ship expansion for pre-order! We’ll print the expansion at the same time as we reprint the MNB core game. In addition to expanding the fleets for the nations appearing in the core game (USA, USSR, UK, France, China, Argentina, Taiwan, Norway, and Japan), the expansion adds fleets for: Germany, Canada, and Italy! VASSAL GAMES We are taking over the Vassal ordering/downloading system and it is a slow process of getting the software up and running. If you have ordered a Vassal game recently, we haven’t forgotten you. We are working on the new system. COUNTER TRAYS Starting in a couple months, we’ll be offering counter trays! -Dan www.dvg.com

Dan Verssen -> RE: DVG NEWS! (10/16/2010 5:46:14 AM)
MODERN NAVAL BATTLES - EXPANSION #1 Is up for pre-order! This expansion features 110 ship cards to add to your MNB-Global Warfare fleets. The cards include more ships for the 9 navies from the first game, plus 3 new fleets: Germany, Italy, and Canada! We’ve also added a few more non-combatants to add to scenarios. No special or new rules needed. Just add the ships to your game and play! http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/39/MNB%20-%20Ship%20Expansion%20%231 MODERN NAVAL BATTLES We will be reprinting MNB at the same time we send the Expansion to the printer! MNB and the Expansion will be printed on the thick cardstock used in our Down In Flames, Phantom Leader, and Frontline games. http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/1/Modern%20Naval%20Battles%20-%20Global%20Warfare U-BOAT LEADER We’ve added a first look at the rules! http://images.dvg.com/www.dvg.com/uboatrules.pdf www.dvg.com
