Going strong since 2009! (With the graphics to prove it)
Good luck all, may the best team win. Steve, pls count me out of this one, i'm not up for the intensity of the cmpaign games for now. Cheers
Yet another example of opp fire not working. Definitely had my unit on opp fire yet watched your men move Henoh and never fired once, just allowed your men to shoot him dead. The other guy that died wasn't on opp fire, but the other was suppose to provide covering fire and didn't.

On the last turn as well. That is what i call luck EvilDick, If you stayed hidden you would have won. There is no way i could have destroyed 4 computers in that time. Hard luck.
...and you managed it too - nice one! See, you didn't need me and my ineptitude after all. Cheers for the league points!
I promise to my metalix teammates that I will play with pattience, I will watch AP, hope not to forget to throw primed Granade. Only hope not to wait 7 days for turn...
Finally I loosed patience. your units snipe excellent...
Yeah I went into suicide mode, like a boss.<br />It's all part of the learning curve...
Globex now has the team we orginally asked for. Thanks Steve. Before we start the Campaign is everyobe ok with their Faction teams?
What is it, a drinking simulation? :p

I installed PUBG, because my kids played some stupid games on the phone ( not stellar forces). After that, there is no other games...
Never played PUBG but just looked. Looks interesting, any good?
As you play more and more, and depending on who your opponents are , you get to suss out tactics. Remember some games have huge amounts of turns so tbey can be real slow burners. Tortoise not the hare ;)
That game was awful for me. Played too overtly and paid the price
Guys, you have realy very very big patience when playing this "complex" missions. Or it seems that I am pretty nervous. I am curious: where you jump in PUBG game?
EvilDick, you need to "Message Comrade", not use Game Chat, otherwise everyone can read it!
Enemy unit passed your east unit (that one in closet with computer). My east unit missed it.
Steve, lets make a table with column of faction teams in which we can input our names:)
I am only going to take part if my team is the 3 man Xeno, Henoh and me. is that a problem for anyone?
FoN no one said that other people couldn't organise their own teams or partners if they so wished. I took it that was what Steve was asking us ALL in the first place. So our response was here's our team choice. As to fairness I don't see a problem. Every Campaign has had one or more faction choosing players. So yes go and choose your own team FoN.
I'm out. Saved me a lot of time. Thanks. :)

I think it's unfair to have RABID on a campaign team because he's unbeatable. :-)

The point about the campaign is just about being fair, and i'm really not trying to be awkward. If you get to choose your team mates then so should everyone else surely? Don't get me wrong i'm perfectly happy playing with anyone even if they end up disappearing half way, so happy to get whoever i randomly get. But if you are insisting on choosing your team then everyone else should too. One rule for everyone, thats all.
Well done, FoN! For my own part, I'm kicking myself for squandering precious APs avoiding a (it turns out) non-existent guard in the "exit room". I was two squares from winning, people! TWO SQUARES!!!
I think we should perhaps leave the campaign alone for a while. Perhaps do a short Lab 2v2 tournament and the players get picked out of a hat, metaphorically, unless Steve has a hat he wishes to use.

That's how I feel too.
Now, don't get me wrong, if we had the numbers and the factions got expanded by a new wave of players, then I would readily accept them and play alongside them, okay, no problem, because there would still be that core of trusted players, that if they quit or didn't play often, wouldn't therefore make too much difference. But from scratch? No.

If it was a two week campaign then I wouldn't care who my team mates were. But a 2/3 month campaign, 5 months in the past, I want team mates I have played with before that I know I can trust, that won't disappear and will do their bit, and I get on well with, especially when it drags on and inevitably gets frustrating.

We only want a 3 man team of our choosing why is that a problem?
Ah right, there I was thinking it was a FoN master plan, waiting until the last minute with one remaining guy and then suddenly appearing from nowhere. Just luck then. Good game though.

I mean, after we all join then there still may need some jigging around with old timers and new members, but i never got the chance to join a new faction.
Ypu could say sneaky, or i would say wandering aimlessly until i came across a weapon and thought ok i'm gonna shoot one person dead. Thinking you still had your whole team intact! Didn't realise Chris took out some of your team and made it easier for me.
FoN fair point and we may still get that extra player for Marsec. Steve asked us what we wanted and were just being honest. It's not like we're making a super unbeatable team. We just want a go at this player combination. Get this sorted and we could be playing right now.
But the joining was based on the last campaign which was over a year ago. So lets just refresh the whole thing
Well I thought the principle of last members to join the faction should be the first out if necessary.

You are so infuriating FoN! No, you did well mate. But you proved once again you are the sneakiest opponent. Grr!
Posted by
xeno 7 days ago
Well if you want it to be fair then we should wait for one more person to join, Marsec only has 2 players. Then again i'm ok to just have me and Rabid on the team. Its just a bit of fun after all.
I prefer to have Igoryan as an opponent so I can play with and against him. I would find that interesting.
Steve what is going to work for us is to have Xeno, me and Henoh only in Globex. No disrespect to the other players but it should be fair with balancing out with the other factions.
Wow. Never in a million years did i think i would win that game.
and green is my lucky color also

I've moved Henoh and Robs Raiders, hope that's okay with them. Let me know if/when you want to start.
The quicker we move players out of Globex the sooner we start the Campaign. Xeno's suggestion is fair, if ok with those 2 players?
Let's search South West building. If thay aren't there, we must ask Steve to cancel the game. Or to wait until 2021. To end turns. Concretly, Dante is my good friend. He had bad luck to play first game with this fourth player. He really was pissed up to wait few days for his turn. Dante is (was) excellent laser squad player...
Cheers. The Flood is a game that anyone can win, once they've played it at least once. No real skill to it.

Well played, xeno! The best competitor (as evidenced by that formidable league position of yours) definitely won. Kicking myself for allowing one of my guys to drown, mind...!
Steve, lets move players by your decision but not start campaign. Then we will discuss.
Ditto.<br /><br />I think the two latecomers to Globex should join another faction. Last in, first out.
Posted by
xeno 7 days ago
I've had quite a few new joiners in games and then not even deploy. Force cancelled a number of games. Which is a shame
I want to stay teamed with Xeno.
It's 3 days before a campaign game can be force cancelled. I can re-adjust the faction players to make them more even. I think 2 players from Globex need to be moved, then it will be 3v3v3v2. Does anyone not want to be moved?
EvilDick, do you get the impression they've all disappeared, and why the hell this game hasn't already ended?

Tried to sneak my remaining guy in through one of holes but you had a man still sitting there from the start. Without a grenade I wasn't going to penetrate that well guarded redoubt that I can now see on the final map.

xeno 7 days ago
Oh well, at least I made things more interesting for you near the end by sending one of my guys on a pointless, suicidal manhunt...
...egg collector definitely isn't my game...I am so pathetic...
Epic failure for me, just returning the favour...
Woah Steve! Hands off button. Nearly ready. We need people evenly distributed across factions first and the 3 day force cancel rule as Xeno mentioned before starting.
Grrr! Two 85% blaster shots missed! Could have finished you off Capt Fish, but now it's swung your way.

I'm ready though first time playing campaign so will likely be useful as a chocolate teapot
What is the deadline for deploying in each game now Steve? It was 7 days but was rightly reduced but can't remember to what? For me it should be 3 days to speed up the campaign and stop it becoming the usual slog.
Posted by

The factions aren't even. Globex has five. Had three to begin with (Pete, Henoh and myself) but two others joined recently so now it's top heavy.

Messed this up. Moved the wrong guys, set charge for wrong turn. Also this has to be one of the worst missions on Stellar Forces. All yours mate.

I've tweaked the calculations now. Let me know what you think.
Just to let you know, I haven't forgotten about this! I've come up with some calculation, and I'll do an update tommorrow evening (so I can tweak it if need be).
Ah, well, everyone is fair game in this mission, it's pretty much a free for all.
Well, I've been spectacularly useless in this game! Effectively up to you now, FoN...no pressure...
i accidently killed HC. Was not thinking when i just shot the fella dead. Thought afterwards i should have let it walk free and pave the way for me. Think it would be harder for the guards if it wasn't a practice and see where the dead bodies were. Happy to try again
Collaboration is for the weak mwahaha etc. That's a fair point though when you're armed only with a knife it's a different ball game.<br />Your guy camped at the exit was a nice touch.
Sorry, chaps, that proved to be something of a massacre! Some lucky random deployment directions doubtless helped, in that I was able to spot, and take out, two prisoners before even taking a turn. Mind you, I didn't see much evidence of collaboration - isn't the idea to join forces to wipe my guys out, THEN turn on each other...?!
Good game chaps, I thought we had that.
Good game, guys. I felt sure that the Banana Republic were heading for defeat there - thanks, and well played, free palestine., for turning things around at the end! It just goes to show that it isn't always a numbers game...
Okay cheers, I'll hold out for my flesh eating buddies
I thought it had been a while. I wonder if enough players would be interested?
Yes, I suggested one, jeez two years ago, or was it even longer! Steve set one up and it was good fun. Four sets of two, so a semi-final and then final.

Yes, another clean sheet for Xeno. Peter and I did a good job of killing each other. I'd be up for a Tournament, would it be a knock-out style tournament?
We could do with another 2 v 2 Lab Attack Tournament. Is the Challonge thing still an option?
I did do some damage with HC units. But would have been better if 2 or 3 of my men had survived to support your attack.
Thanks, not sure what was going on up top, where you were mostly concentrated. I could see you you had run into stiff opposition and unsure whether that benefited me or left me vulnerable. In hindsight it's clearly the former as most of the enemy was kept away as I broke into the building.

You get a new one every turn in cabin, and they resurrect at random, so by the end you have a horde!

Xeno I did that for you. New tactic distress the enemy by leaving corpses everywhere.
These zombies are a bit naff...

Dayum I didn't do much that game. Accidentally killed one of evildick's men and that was it. Hurrah for overwatch I guess.
Gaaaah!!! See, I can't even DEFEND competently on this map! Time to hang up my spurs, methinks...<br /><br />Seriously, well done to xeno and petermock for demonstrating that it IS possible to win this map on the attacking side. Good game.
Capt Fish won. He had to kill you. I inadvertently helped him because you were trying to kill me, and I killed a couple of your men that added to his total. I had 80VPs from killing 4 men of Evil Dick. Capt Fish had 100VPS from killing 3 of yours and 2 from me killing 2 of yours.

The campaign hasn't started yet; I'm going to reset the map (and everything apart from faction members) once it starts.
I see Igoryan joined Globex on Monday. Odd because there was already 4 in there, Now it has 5!

so is the campaign actually active? I still see the old campaign map.
Cheers Peter, took me ages to find you but alas not enough time! Good game
