i was thinking of doing a gameplay campaign thing where for example if we where doing ww2 as a game we wouldn't just play that game straight away beforehand we would play parts of the ww2 map. for example at start of war Germany invaded poland so we could have a poland against germany and russia on poland map with three. players and who ever won that game would have poland in the big game at the end. other examples that we would play for other parts of the game for the custom seniror at the last game.
-nethalands and belguim
-france
-russia
-scandinavia
-greece
-africa
-china
-indonesia
-phillopenes
-pracific
-australia
-africa
e.c.t
we would have one player for each nation and would play each game they are involved in.
countries we would have:
-Germany
-Great Britain
-USA
-France
-Italy
-Japan
-Poland
-Netherlands
-Belgium
-Australia
-China
-Russia
-Finland
-Norway
-Denmark
-African colonies
-and others that i might of fogoten
Also if poland was elimanated and they lost they wouldn't play in the big game they would be eliminated and germany and russia would have there land.

make sense ask me questions it's quite hard to get my idea across to you so if you don't understand ask.
i thought it might be a new and fun way of playing

thanks

i know warflowvet came up with something like this but i looked at his and it's not the same

Looks fun!

Thanks would you be up to take part

Id take part tooo!

sorry to be a dick, but please start threads with someone informative in the title.

"new idea" is way to vague IMO. It makes following and searching for threads a pain.

It would be better to summarize your idea in the title.

True I should of made it better

I will like to play i think i get you.

I think it is a cool idea, I just don't have the time.

ok chris and it's mini games that count towards the big game at the end if that makes more sense

Well, obviously Germany would play a much bigger role, so that player would be in almost every game. Some of the other players may only be in a single match.

I can play as long as I am not one of the major players (USA/Germany/Russia/UK/Japan)

How would the mini games end? A time period? Or would someone have to win the game (eliminate everyone)? How would that work with major powers?

I would think you'd put a time period on it and whatever the battle lines are in that game, they transfer over to other ones?

lol thats the exact opposite of what i was about to say. I would like to join, as long as im a superpower, specificaly Germany or USA.

I'm trying to think of better ways to work this perhaps there should be 3 to 4 players for a superpower so that your not in every game.

And perhaps 20 turns or so intill it ends or less

With battles like Russia against Germany and Britain and USA against Germany and other major superpower battles would not happen intill the big game.

Sorry for another post but mylor your in thanks we will decide teams later thought

Another option:

Just get 10 people (or whatever the amount is) to play each side. Then assign those people parts in each game. You don't have to use the same amount each time (maybe a small battle just needs 3v3 and you grab 3 from each team.

Then you can assign portions of the large nations to each player. It would actually help battles and deployments be more realistic. If 1 person had all of Germany, they could place troops anywhere in the country instantly (on whatever map it is). Whereas if you had each person take a sub region, you could only deploy in that area. It would be a lot more realistic overall.

An example would be if you do battle in Africa (on the big Africa map), you could give 1 German person Algeria, 1 German person Libya, then give all the surrounding areas to UK players (however many you needed).

The question is do you even have all the maps you'd need for this? Is there a detailed enough Europe map?

And on that map I would just do giant wastelands behind the surrounding UK areas so you aren't playing on the whole map. If Germany takes all that is on the map, you can assume they would take rest of Africa after.

Or maybe you do greater Middle East map, I don't know. But it gives you more flexibility to just plug in however many people you need. Then you can also work around vacations easily since nobody is locked into a nation

That all sounds very good and will take that in to account thanks :)
