Hey all
I am looking to join up in a new Gunboat. Clint has agreed that I
might use the list to see whether there is interest for another one
right now, plus I have an idea on limited communication in the game
1st up - if you havent played in a gunboat but enjoy 1650 I'd really
recommend it. I am playing in 1 other - its a really interesting
mindset to get into - guessing your team mates likely actions based
on what they see - making your 2 positions work together - guessing
what your opponents might try knowing their twinned positions and
their likely intelligence. Those of you that know me know that I
love good team games - but my favourite game of the last 12 months
has definitely been my gunboat...
Advert over - here is the idea on communication. As you know,
currently no communication is allowed. Clint is up for allowing some
very limited communication if it can be GM'd reasonably effectively.
Here is the idea:
Each team consists of 6 pairs of positions. Each turn, 1 pair of
positions from each team sends 1 short diplo (say 25 words) that goes
to the rest of the team. The sender of the diplo rotates so that on
t1 it is woo/sg and wk/bs, t2 it is nmen/dwa and drl/cors etc.
Example of diplo:
From WK/BS t1
Will send BS army through back door. Rhu focus on Cardolan WK focus
on Arthedain. BS will locate 42 44 175 189. Go the DS!
Whaddya reckon?
Cheers
Mike
Sorry Mike - only one interested party. As mentioned at the time when I was trying to get the other GB up I don't expect to fill another GB game for a while yet. (Happy to eat my words!)
