Message text Hi,
I had this idea in my mind in the last several weeks..
What about starting a Campaign about World War I from January 1917 to October 1918?
These are the rules I had in mind:
* The War would last a long period of real time, and planes/scenario availability would change over time. For example, we could decide that the YouPlayIt WWI Campaign will last 11 real months.
Each real month is 2 months of game time.
So during the first two weeks it's January 1917, then it's February 1917, after another two weeks it's March 1917....and so on until the end of October 1918.
* You can only fly planes which belong to the current time frame or an older one.
(So you can't fly a Sopwith Snipe on July 1918 but you can fly either a Spad XIII or a Fokker-D. VII or any othe plane available before that date).
* Each player may have one pilot for each nationality (so that you can fly any plane during the war).
* If you get killed/plane exploded during a scenario, your pilot is dead. You can create a new one, but his stats will be at 0. So if you want to have an ace boasting lots of victories, you'd better stay alive... 
* If you get shot down, your pilot will be MIA. You can wait his return for a fixed amount of time (let's say one real month) without playing that nationaily OR you can choose to declare him dead forever and create a new pilot immediately.
* Games which belong to the WWI Campaign must be with advanced rules and passworded and have a distinctive title, so that anyone joining them knows, what he is joining.
Each player *must* declare on Turn 1 what pilot he is going to use, especially if he has multiple pilots available for that plane (for example, both French and British pilots can fly the Niueport-17 on Jan-17).
* Statistics will be collected about all the pilots, to see who is the best living (or dead) Ace of all the War 
* Also, we will collect general statistics to decide who is winning the War...the German or Allied ones?
Ideas on how we could create a score system are welcome...
* Setting up special missions (like: you must bring your Halberstadt in that spot and back..), with special bonus points. (That's difficult..ideas welcome )
That's all for now... tell me what do you think about it!
PS: Didn't have time to re-read it...hope it's understandable |
