Chris:
Good response. You will have the credentials to take potshots at the game AFTER you have played one. You have a tough position and I will provide you with free advise, if you wish it. No, I am not now nor in the future a participant in game 51. You have my email if you wish to ask any questions that your team mates can't help you with.

Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 13:40:55 -04001650 Scenerio Game #51, I'm playing the Northmen.
Ovatha,
I have no intention of quiting in the middle of a game no matter how
badly I get beat. Really there is no matter of pride on the line when
playing a game for the first time anyway. However, even if there were I
wouldn't quit in the middle of a game no matter how badly I was getting
trounced. I consider quiting in the middle of a game a matter of poor
sportsmanship.It is simply a question of after playing the first, if the experience
was frustrating and unenjoyable why would anyone want to play a second
if a similar experience is anticipated?
I guess we'll see. Thanks for the responses all!-----Original Message-----

Primarily
it's a team game so if the team does not work then you will not win the
game. Saying that you can play within the team in many different
manners.
Military, economics and Characters are all part of the game
mechanics. There are many defences to Agents in the game. Primarily
it's
who gets the biggest armies to a certain location at a certain time who
gain the advantage, managing your resources and characters to inhibit
that
is part of the game. We have many hardened Wargamers play the game due
to
the great military strategic game that is offered to play.Which game have you signed up for btw?
