I'ld say it's an Airco DH.9A .... Chanak crisis? Since you said it isn't the russian civil war ... /Edit: Seriously trickster, fuck you, this thread is up since days and you posted that link between the time I opened this reply and send it ... D: I bet it's the sino-soviet conflict yeah -.-
Trickster! How did you know? I never pegged you for an aircraft enthusiast. I have Dropbox Correct on the sword Ok, you've earned my web address now. I've had a stub website up for a month or two. http://10000bones.com
Northern Expedition. kthxbai. Edit: Or Operation Nekka is a maybe. But I'm really betting on Northern Expedition. Like, life savings here. Edit2: Ohwait nevermind. It is definitely Northern Expedition. No way it can be Operation Nekka.
If you could make out the check for your life savings to me or the name of the game I'd appreciate it. Please send it out soon as I need to hire some help.
He said he bet his life savings that the game was about the Northern Expadition. It's not. So I want his life savings
Oh, fine, then the game happens on Mars and we play as little green aliens that are endorsed with humanity, and as it conveniently happens, humanity is at AD 1920~. Amirite?
So it's china's internal conflict , possibly later parts where japs got involved. Seeing that it is a britfag plane, I expect its on the nationalists side. I also expect Lugers held gangsta style, because thats how they actually were used there.
I guess you're close enough. 10,000 Bones is set during the Warlord Period of China, otherwise known as the Chinese Republic, and spans from 1919 to 1927 when the Northern Expedition brought most of the warlords in line and set up the Chinese Civil War (Expansion pack, anyone?). I've always thought World War I was an under served portion of history but at the same time did not want another Briton/France/US against Germany game. The Chinese Warlord period is perfect. I am going to capture the important parts of the struggle: Dar-2-Die units armed with two handed swords and grenades, Bandits who might pillage your own villages or fight on your side, Clansmen armed with muskets, White Russian Mercenaries, Revolutionaries who might charge without orders, Jingal units, Mortars, Heavy machine guns, Bribery, Black markets, Adventurers seeking their fortunes, Russian/German/Japanese/American/British/French/Italian weapons, Cavalry on horseback along side tanks and armored cars, Foreign government intervention, Fokker DVIII fighters and French medium bombers, Artillery, Looting, Hand-2-hand combat, and Generals with names like "Tiger of the North" or the "Jade Marshal" Its going to be really amazing. And yes, the German Machine Pistols were fired sideways and they will be in 10kb as well.
FFF, its the Mauser not Luger, silly me. Nice for you to to the research on the automatic part though, I forgot about that one. Also, from the description, I'd guess it is going to be an ASCII based game. I was going to say that with diffrent humans models you will have to make a shitton of models, but then I remembered something, and I'm going to go with the good old "all asians look the same" stereotype.
So RTS? Squad-based FPS with overarching RTS elements? RPG elements? You're making me want the whole cow already and I've only had a bite of the round.
