Roger's Scenario Thread

@rogercooper yes I appreciate simon doing the original one because my machine fried and I lost all my work. I also appreciate he added Canada as well. I asked him to delete it since "Global 40 House Rules" has everything that "1940" does.

@rogercooper Perfect thank you for the assist!!

Congratulations on the new arrival. NWO Andrews plays like WW1, with stalemate in the west, and the Germans advancing against the poorly-prepared Russians in the east.

@rogercooper it should be hard for germany to attack Fr and Russia simultaneously, and hard for Russia to attack Germany early in the game. I'm working on something with negative NOs for Russia and US, to keep them out of the early game.

You could simply delay their declaration of war or restrict their movement early in the game. Negative NO's are ignored by the AI.

Good Points
- Unusual historical setting
- Easy to understand rules
Bad Points
- Lack of fast units, airpower and sea borders makes for a dull game
- The endless production mode does not fit the situation
-
@rogercooper Don't you think that the units balance is very bad in this game (that is, there are units which are too cost effective and other units which are virtually never-to-buy)? Myself, I've ditched the game because of this.
-
@cernel That is also an issue. Nothing is worth building except Swordsman and Rockthrowers. But the fundamental problem is that game plays like WW1 in Iceland. The actual war was a conflict of raids on isolated villages and farm houses with only 1 tiny pitched battle.
