Think we could do WWII pacific? I'd take the USA (USA! USA! USA!) in that one

Maybe Australia.

I'll take whatever's going spare.

Re: Tactical War Simulation
Good question. Finland would be another of my choices. Failing one of those, I would gladly play as the bad guys.Sonic Glitch wrote:Would those fall under British/Commonwealth control or would they operate separately?Tsukiyumi wrote:I'd take New Zealand. Unless Teaos wanted it, of course.

Re: Tactical War Simulation
We're getting a little ahead of ourselves here. This is a work in progress that right now is designed around a Clone Wars style campaign. I'm working on developing a more sophisticated battle simulation algorithm that could handle something like multiple different classes of ship, but there's still a fair amount of work between where I'm at with this, and recreating WWII or the Dominion War.
I am and will continue to work on it, and I'm sure running a campaign will give me a lot of useful data to build upon, but it may still be a bit early to pick Axis or Allies yet.

Re: Tactical War Simulation
Best to make an early claim.
I'd need to see whatever factions you decide on for the game; I assume they won't start equal. That would be silly.

Re: Tactical War Simulation
Well we're all clamouring to get involved so you know you've got people in
I'd be less interested in a futuristic one I'll be honest, we've done that to death and back but I'd still be up for.

I claim Switzerland...
I'll take whatever is needed, I just like the idea.

Re: Tactical War Simulation
An update here:
Since there was an overwhelming interest in a WWII and/or Dominion War simulation, I began working on a more refined model for simulating combat, particularly one that can deal with multiple classes with their own stats. I have finished the first draft of said program and given it a quick once through to make sure it works. This will become the simulation that I use for the 1st round test drive from the OP.
If anyone would like to see it. It's coded in Mathematica so If you have access to that software I can send you the actual code, otherwise I can post some pseudo-code on here.

Re: Tactical War Simulation
Alright. The battle between Drancoris and Spocky has finished which means we're set to give this it's test run. I'm looking for 2-3 players that want to try they're luck, and won't be too concerned with some on the fly mechanics and hand-wavyness that will go into at least this first run. First come first serve, but people that have played in a Battle recently (Tinadrin, Reliant, Spocky, Drancoris) will have lower priority than those that haven't.

Re: Tactical War Simulation
I'm in as the first low priority player.
Re: Tactical War Simulation
I love being a test dummy so count me in.
