Hello PDF

The answer to your question is.....YES!!!!!

I had to stop testing the other night before I smashed my screen in frustration at losing crucial core units....however, the moment I have free time, I will SMASH the enemy, or at least hide my units better :-)

Pyros is a legend.

This is beyond anything I have delt with in years of SPww2 playing. It is the closest to playing against a human, without playing against a human. The days of a walkover against the AI are over...he he...and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Respect

Jason,

If it wasn't for all of you (very talented scenario testers) and for your determination, dedication and your crucial suggestions then nothing of what exists today would be possible.

The creation of a scenario is an interactive activity and the designer gets a lot of his inspiration and motivation from his relationship with the scenario-testers.

I think that we have all learned a couple of new things by doing this painful process (like for example...never again volunteer to test any of Pyro's scenarios...LOL)


cheers,
Pyros

p.s My only request from all the scenario-testers (which BTW are also proven scenario designers) is to try and design (even a single one) scenario for the next update of the ANZAC campaign (sometime after September).
I swear that I will do my best as a scenario-tester!

Pyros,
I'm very excited about your soon-to-be-released campaign ! I've played some turns of your Kalpaki scenario (didn't have time to get far) and it's totally refreshing, challenging and innovative !
It's a real pleasure to still get new thrills with this old SP dog !

Merci PDF,

I hope that you will have the same good feelings toward me once your beloved veteran core force units become trapped by an AI encircle maneuver...

Here is the first hint of the campaign: During your first boost for core points I strongly advise you to buy a section of 6 in (on-map) artillery guns along with a section of ammo trucks.

Here is the second hint of the campaign: Use scouts and set their reaction range to 1.
These units might save you from some very unpleasant surprises.

cheers,
Pyros

Gentlemen,

We are working hard to get everything ready (first version) by the 29th of July.

Pyros,

My apologies for being AWOL for almost all of your project. My only excuse is that the ADF has been a little “busy” lately (esp. as it now looks in some quarters as we may re-visit the sites of some of our First World War battle honours - like Gaza, Romani, Beersheba, [and points further North] ... albeit with Blue Helmets on this time).

Is there anything I can do at this late stage - apart from raise a glass to you and your band of merry men (women)?

[Pyros]

Hi Mark,

There is always time for contributing to the campaign...
I just need you to playtest me this 90 turns battle on this huge map against those 500 AI units within the next 10-12 hours...LOL

Seriously, there will be a second part of the campaign after September, so if you wish you may participate to the project during that designing session.

cheers,
Pyros

Where’s the link?

[Pyros]

Hi Mark,

You may learn more about the campaign by clicking the following link:

ANZAC Project Diary

Btw, the campaign will be probably released the 29th of July.

cheers,
Pyros

Ah yes, I read that.

I meant where is the link to the “90 turns battle on this huge map against those 500 AI units within the next 10-12 hour”.

[Pyros]

LOL... which one? The are many battle like this one!

Anyway, if you wish to playtest a sample battle, I have one in mind that may need some extra evaluation.

Please send me a valid email address (that accepts zip files) to

PYROS@ath.forthnet.gr

and I will send you the test files.

But keep in mind that you must submit a report in less than 24 hours (play as much as you can)!!

cheers,
Pyros
