[BoP: Archives] Balance of Power Alt-1919:

[Pixel]

Everybody watch out, Argentina's here.

 

[QuailLover]

Hell yeah.

 

[RoboSenshi]

I wonder how long it's going to take the US and Mexico to go to war.

 

[Pixel]

Historically, Mexico was technically at war with the United States in 1919 because of the Mexican Revolution. This part of it is referred to as the Border War, they were being supported by the German Empire.  There was only one minor engagement in 1919, though.

In any case, it will probably happen within a turn or two. I'd be willing to bet 10000 credits on it. If it doesn't happen though, hurray for progress and peace in our time.

 

[Shatari]

I doubt it will escalate, to be honest. Warfare is very static right now, and it wouldn't benefit either side to be tied down in a trench warfare scenario for the next half a decade, especially with Turn 1 starting armies and damaged economies.

 

[Pixel]

That's my intention, yes. But you never know.

 

[RoboSenshi]

My thoughts exactly. Not to mention the oil in Texas which Mexico controls now. North America will be an interesting place to watch.

 

[RoboSenshi]

I got ninja'd forget that first sentence.

So I've decided on a deadline: Saturday, September 28th.

That is one week from now.

Also, I feel I should say that in the event of me acquiring a co-host, I will allow 2 or 3 more players to join the game. However a third co-host will not change anything.

There is one person who has reserved a spot in the event of this happening, and one potential candidate for a co-host (though he wants to see if others volunteer first)

How do I make my army bigger? Say build x <unit type>

 

[Pixel]

Make sure you have the resources, money, and tech to build the unit. You can choose to build units and put them in a new army, or allocate them in an existing army (an army is 25 units max)

 

[Pixel]

All you really have to do is ask them in a PM if they want to make an alliance with you. But if you want to roleplay then it would make sense to send diplomats to their country and have embassies and telegrams and stuff like that, but its pretty much optional.

 

[Lord Burgess1]

Did someone delete a post? Because if you did, don't.

 

[Pixel]

It was fine, just a question. But for future reference, new people, deleting a post in this thread is against the rules as is editing the post, because you're supposed to watch what you say here and editing/deleting is considering cheating.

EDIT: I can edit posts though. But I felt I should say that even if you're editing the post to correct a typo or grammar mistake, don't. There's no way we can prove that it was just a grammar issue and you didn't remove sensitive information from the post or something. So yeah.

 

[romandude]

Is the orders format just sort of standard?

 

[Lord Burgess1]

The Riflemerc pattern of orders.

 

[romandude]

The Riflemerc pattern of orders.

Which is pretty much standard orders format at this point
