Gaming habits of Senior Officers

Calder · Post by **Calder** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 5:31 am

It was brought to my attention recently that some of the junior officers think that us old fossils don't know how to play a real game anymore.

Well you're wrong!

Now, to be honest, I was never a great pilot (which is why I invested so much time and effort into getting promoted to an SCS position where I ordered other people to fly) but I am rather good at RTS games.

SO! I am issuing a challenge to anyone who would care to accept in Galactic Battlegrounds (with the Clone Campaigns addition). You see, senior officers don't fly - they command. So if you think you can beat me in a game of tactics and strategy, then let's have at it!

Email me or contact me on AIM and we'll set up a match.

Unfortunately I don't have a copy of SWGB, but if anyones up for a reound of Force Commander I'm avaliable as well. And I want to see some more life in those ladders! I'm usually in at least one of them, somebody come challenge me.

And as I'm a commander, too. If anyone wants to try agan get a group together and take me on in the Nemesis (XWA) or any other capital ship, you're welcome to try.

I don't have the add on but if you decide to take off the Clone Wars extras i'll play ya sometime.

As for FC... well I'm not good but I'll practice up and see if your mouse is as old as your joystick

Walmart has a bundle of GB and the campaign for 9.98US, so go and get it.

Bah, Wedge, the Nemesis would lose to the Chimaera in a flat fight any day.

Thats why the Nemesis doesnt duke it out with the Chimaera (Cap vs. Cap) We fight with the starfighters, because that where our strength lies. We have more pilots then the Chimy so we would win a battle thats Caps w/fighters.

Captain Wedge: If we ever do fight the Chimy, Please Please dont make my fly a T/B... my skill lies in a T/F or T/I (And i think you know i have quite a bit of skill

)

We have set up a skirmish file which is the Chimaera against the Nemesis. However, in any events such as these, we assume each ship has a full complement so that the Nemesis' superiority in (numerical) pilots is simply not there.

However, in an online match than the more pilots one side has the better - so that would certainly help the Nemesis. But as far as the actual AI is concerned, the two ships' complements are equal.

However, I will point out (though this may be due to an error or oversight) that while the Chimaera is labelled as an ISD-II, the Nemesis is not. Is this correct or did someone simply forget to put the suffix on the Nemesis' designation on the site?

Nah, the Nemesis is an ISD-II, just like all SG flagships (I think). No reason to stick with the MkIs when we can get the better version, eh?

That's not what I meant.

I know the Nemesis is supposed to be a Mk II, but look at the ship designation on empirereborn.net.

It says "ISD-II Chimaera" but "ISD Nemesis".

Ah. Admiral, could you perhaps fix this?

Wedge · Post by **Wedge** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 6:59 am

Doesn't matter Commander, ISD II or not I could still take you.

The Grand Admiral always had the Nemesis as an ISD-I.

Is there a time set for this yet? (Have to see if I can fit it in my schedule...)

Calder · Post by **Calder** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 5:53 pm

As far as I'm concerned, just let me know when it's convenient and I'll work around my opponent's schedule as best I'm able.

Hey Calder, what's your e-mail? I've got a save that's been going on for probably about, oh I don't know

... 10 hours or more with about 1100 kills, and I really don't even have an attacking army
