• Hi Steve we are ready for the New Campaign. Fire her up for blast off!
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Oh and can we have a Campaign time limit please? Last time it was 3 months. Shall we try 2 months this time? Conditions: winners are either faction holding all 4 corners first or holding the most sectors regardless of corners by the finish date.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yes agree with Pete. I think two months max.

• Question. Do campaign games appear in the list of current games menu and when it's my turn will I receive a notification?
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• @Cpt, that's right, they're treat pretty much exactly the same as normal games except they affect the campaign map.
  
  I'll start the campaign ASAP!
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Okay, the campaign has STARTED!
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yahoo!
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Thanks Steve! So the Campaign end date will be June 21st.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Why is it saying 7 days to play when it is suppose to be 3 days!
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Going to need this fixed fast or we start off wrong footed.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Changed to 3 days.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Okay so I've visited the galaxy map and declared war on two sectors.
  
  Where do these games appear ie which menu?
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• They are only shown on the galaxy map until they are created. If they are defended, they appear in My Games just like normal games.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• * "Created" should say "accepted".
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Thanks Steve for sorting the days out!
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Steve are we going to have the missions refreshed with new ones?
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I've just won a sector and the mission has stayed the same. I can't remember how it worked before? Is been a long time...
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Henry's Cat and Robsraiders don't seem to be playing. Do they know that the campaign has started? I don't care too much whether our faction wins, more interested in it being competitive and entertaining; more the merrier.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Pete is right, the sectors don't seem to be changing to new missions like last time.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I've just had a looks, since I'd forgotten myself. Currently, they get randomly changed every 6 days.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Ah right, cheers Steve.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• 6 days is great. Thanks Steve for looking into it.

• How can anyone attack the square at the top right corner? :-)
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Well spotted. Got me stumped.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I didn't notice either!
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• ...You have not power here hhahahahahhahahahaha,...
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Well this campaign has been one to forget! One win from umpteen
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Coz' you're playing against hardened Campaign veterans! Just joking. It's normal to lose a lot of games in a row in the Campaign. Especially as the troops are untrained and can't shoot for toffee. As for throwing grenades their arms haven't the strength to pull the pins out. But the survivors get stronger and more skilful.

• ... yeahhhhhh, we (metalix) are the worst of all kids here...
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The rational part of my brain is saying 'it's not too bad, these guys are experienced'
  The emotional part is saying 'Ffffuuuuuuuuuuucccc!!!!'
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• In the beginning, I didn't know that units are replenishing. I thought I have 40 units, and that's all.
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Next campaign we'll do better evidick!
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• > How can anyone attack the square at the top right corner?
  
  I'll have a check, but I can change it so players can attack diagonally (if it's not already possible).
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I am not for attacking diagonally.
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I agree with Evil. I am against diagonal attacking. We tried it once and it wasn't good. Steve, best put a new sector in to give a normal route to the corner.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yes I'm not convinced with diagonal attacking. Will probably just overly complicate things.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• One year we had diagonal attacking by mistake. It was a mess.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'm a little confused by the sectors randomly changing the way they do. They seem to be changing even after a match has been scheduled. So the sector is showing a certain mission and then you choose to attack, then the next day it changes just after you have thought out how you are going to approach it. Also I may choose to fight a particular sector because it is one where I don't need to use so many men, as I'm perhaps short on manpower, then it changes to one where I need more in order to win.
  
  I would prefer personally for those sectors already having a match set not to change until it is over.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yes, I'm with Xeno on that.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'll have a look at changing it so the missions only change after a game.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• how is it possible that sector 7.2 is under attack of mr. Rabid?
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I seem to be attacking my own sector?? I won a game on that square recently, but now it shows as me attacking it and gives me the option to defend it.... Against myself.!!
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Cheers Steve. Not a major issue but certainly a rather annoying one that is worthy of changing.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• We don't get league points for winning campaign missions?
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• No. :)
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The missions in each sector should now only change after a game is complete.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Thanks Steve!
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yes cheers Steve.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Hi Steve. How do you think if to create the separate players statistic(lose, win, number of games played) for campaign. I think will be very interesting to see for analyze. Also may be separate table like league table for determine who is the best in individual.
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• ...and number of killed units...
  
  I wanted to ask that, but Does SteveSmith have enough time?
  
  SteveSmith, I am curious: can you see our units? :) Lol
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• @Igoryan, that shouldn't be a problem since it should just a case of recreating the league table but only selecting campaign games.
  
  @Evil, I don't think the game explicitly keeps track of number of killed units. And technically I could interogate the database to find the positions of enemy units, but that would take all the fun out of the game!
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'm just catching up on the posts here. I don't want to burden Steve with loads of work, but...if it's easy to do, I'd be interested in seeing a top soldier table soldier name/affiliation/# kills/total points. Yes I am strangely obsessed over the stats for some reason. Rabid probably has someone with 15 kills!
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Hmm, I think what I'm suggesting is even more detailed than Igoryan's idea. In the same vein though
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I commenced battle to defend: assassin's tunel (campaign). But when I deployed units map is for "outhouses". In list of current games is marked with "campaign" but there is not that Field on a map 4-2 or 4-3. ???
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The map for Outhouses and Tunnels are virtually identical. The only difference is the "teleporting" tunnels in Tunnels.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• hi all! guys, lets speak about Moonbase Assault map (campaign version) I think everyone knows about strange play on attackers side. Usually I trying to avoid this:) It is too difficult and if you win it is like feat. How do think if to change the condition for attackers on this map?How do you think Steve? may be will increase the amount of turns or points for the computers destroyed.
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Have a look at this: http://www.stellarforces.com/dsr/miscstatspage.cls
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Though I'm not sure it is up to date? Or did the count get reset?
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Confused by sector 4,3! I lost a game on 4,3, then won a game an hour later on 4,3, but still seem to be playing 4,3?
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• ..and now I won another game on 4,3 but am still fighting on 4,3....!
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• That's an interesting stat page HC, thought for a moment, wow, never seen that before, but then remembered that I had once but not for a long time.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• i like to play m a camp ver as an attacker and the pressure of time is quite nice
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Wow, i didn't noticed tunnels..
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The "misc stats" page is updated every 10 mins (if someone actually requests the page) so it should be very accurate.
  
  Regarding the Moonbase Assault Campaign Mission, I'm always open to tweaks if they're agreed by a majority. However, even though only 2 games of this mission have been played, both attackers and defenders have won twice.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• good page statistic of maps, never saw before. forget about my request, nothing to change. i will try play more better :)
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• so whats the decision about sector 7.0?
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Henoh is right we need it sorted promtly. How about just adding a sector to allow an attack path? I still say no diagonal movenents.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Sector 7:0 is Switzerland...you don't have power here.....
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• it is offshore please don't touch it :) !
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'll add another sector, although i don't think it affects the game that much. The winner will be the side with the most sectors when the time runs out. I suppose it gives the owner a slight advantage.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I don't think it affects fairness either Steve.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yeah. What if we (metalix) got 21 and Xeno got only 20 sectors...
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• When sector is marked with "can not attack"?
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• When sector is marked with "can not attack"?
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• You can only attack one sector at a time, so if you've already chosen one, you can't attack any others.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Steve could you please add sector 6.0?
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Just add ed it. Apologies for the delay, I've been looking into GDPR to see if I need to do anything.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• thanks Steve just wanted to attack it!
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Whose unit has biggest rank points?
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I have a Lieutenant Steedy on 40 points.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• i had one too but hc killed him
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I've got Lieutenant Gediman on 52 points. I bet Rabid has someone higher ranking though. I had a Captain once, in an old campaign.
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I have a few special veterans...... Henry's Cat got a couple of them though.
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• When is end of campaign ?
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• We agreed 2 months at the beginning of this post and that was 42 days ago.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• So, my cunning plan is eventually coming to fruition. By tactically losing to Rabid's blue forces, albeit over the course of several weeks, I've simultaneously formed a line in behind Metallix affording protection from Rabid. Go Marsec! Retreat for victory!
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Crafty!! :-)
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• thats the alliance i was talking about previously
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• What will be with not finished battles on deadline of campaign. Will be they calculated as drawn, or we will have chance to play them until the end?
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Whoever owns the sector even in mid battle gets the score at the deadline time. But you can continue to play the unfinished games for personal satisfaction. We always do.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Clear
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The campaign has been going for 61 days now. When are we saying the 2 month deadline is? :)
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The fact I ran out of units yesterday has nothing to do with this question.... honest. (!)
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I think the campaign started on the April 22nd. Tomorrow would make it 2 months by the calendar date. I think... I hope... But I am happy to have Friday 22nd June 2018 the end of the Campaign.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• CORRECTION TODAY is the end! I just found it in the posting. 21st June is the end. But is it now or midnight GMT the final moment?
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Just about to equip for 5 missions but no point then. First campaign I didn't see as a slog but we said 2 months so fine. Congrats Rabid and Robsraiders.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Congratulations Rabid and Robsraiders!
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• We could try 3 months for the next one? Only we need more smaller missions and how about those new missions Steve?
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yes, well played Rabid. As explosively inventive as ever!
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Maybe we could start up a knock-out tournament of a map, if anyone else fancies it?
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yes, congrats to Rabid & Rob! Good campaign, I enjoyed it even though we struggled to survive.

  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Is there any statistics for this campaign?
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• congrats Rabid
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Thanks guys! Enjoyed that one!! I was losing ground towards the end.

• Lab 2v2 was always good, played "home and away", winners going through to the next round.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Congrats chaps.
  Everyone is welcome to come round to Metalix's tea and cake emporium.
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Steve. Two of my campaign games was conceded because they went past the 3 day rule AFTER the campaign finished, I suppose that is wrongly recorded in my stats as two concedes?
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'll knock them off your concede list. Does anyone have any objections if I cancel all outstanding campaign games?
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'm ok with that Steve.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Fine with me Steve!
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Sorry xeno, I think those concedes were my fault, I had a bunch of games the day after the campaign end and cancelled them all. :-)
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Thanks Steve. That's okay Rabid, credit for owning up as it were :) Perhaps I'm being a bit anal but if stats didn't mean anything we wouldn't have so many, most people like them, so although no biggie of course, I don't necessarily want them distorted either.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'd quite like to finish a couple of games. But it's not a big deal
  Posted by Henry's Cat 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• lets finish started games
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• No probs, I'll leave all the games as they are.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• what about an award for Rabid?
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Lord of Destruction (and all things that go bang)
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'd forgotten I normally dish out awards. That's done, to Rabid & RobR.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Thanks Steve! :-)
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Are we still playing the campaign map for fun? I just noticed a few attacks/defends still happening!
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I've now disabled attacking sectors, but the remaining games can be played.
