bear with me on this:
i visited the website for warhammer 40k some time ago and i really liked what they had set up. what it was, was a map of the world and several theaters of battle on each continent. gamers would play games against each other and send in the results to the databank who would then update the course of the war and have it reflect on this site. so gamers, playing as a part of one side each, could play a battle and then go to this site and see how their team was doing. it added to the battles, making each combat seem important rather than just another win or loss.
so heres what im wondering - would it be possible to set up a site that does the same thing for spwaw. i have had several ideas:
players can register like on combat command but instead of going to a tournament page, they go to the page showing the map and current status of the war. from the looks of the tourney board, there is an even mix of axis and allied players so having too many people on one side shouldnt be a problem.
how to play? hmmm, how about something like this. each person who signs up picks an axis or allied country. once they pick, they are assigned a certain amount of points that they will use during a battle (say 4000). once the game is closed (i.e. no one else is allowed to join in) each member is assigned an area to defend. so if i picked germany, then i would have an area in germany to defend. (side note this can be designated any way. a flag or id number). once the game starts, the players attack and defend on the map as they desire (example: im a german player defending a section of germany on the border. a person playing russia wants to do battle. so we set the system up so that that player can challenge me to combat like command control is set up now. if i agree to fight, we fight. if i dont agree, then my points must move out of that area and the russian player gets my territory. the results of the combat are sent to a database manager who updates the main page to reflect this turn in the war. so when the russian fighter goes to this site, he sees that he has taken part of germany.)
once a player loses his points, he is out of the game. the players playing a given country would have to work as a team to win the whole game. therefore, it would be a little better allowing spwaw fans to meet each other and work on master strategy, as well as battlefield tactics. persons who win a battle could be awarded extra points toward their next battle to show that the upper chain of command has faith in this given general and has blessed him with reinforcements.
anyway - its just an idea. it was something that i thought might take spwaw to a new level. i think it would be difficult to arrange, but once set up, it would be outstanding.
this was originally posted as "campaign around the world" but not too many people were reading it. i am trying to get a feel from the players if they think this might be something we can work on and play with later.
thanks
