Me too Euryon. Have you seen the new Black Ops version? May have to get that one too.
No, I haven't... Is it AH?
Heh, I shall google.

Edit: Hmm, so it's "official" risk. That's interesting. It looks like it could be fun. I will certainly try and give that one a go over when it's released.

On my command, fix bayonets.

Yeah I saw the BGG site.

Anyway, for CC, don't play "freestyle" for your first few games. It's fun for a while, but when you have one player slowing you down (not taking a turn for 8 or so hours), then popping up and taking 2 in a few seconds, you can be eliminated without even getting a chance to deploy!

Heh. Especially when it happens in the middle of the night and you're asleep like I was. I figured the game we were in Euryon, would be over when I woke up.

Fog-of-War mixed with Terminator is fun. I think I'll try another one of those games but find one with Sequential play order instead of Freestyle.

Now that I understand how scoring works, the Terminator type game looks like the only way to possibly walk away from a game with a positive score even if you don't win the game. I didn't win, but I netted 4 points which isn't much, but more than zero is better than going negative, which would have happen if it had been scoring from a Standard type game.

I just joined the site today and I am looking for players from HSers to start a game. Since I am new the that site, I would like to play with other people who are somewhat new to it as well. PM if interested in starting a game.

Thanks!

We just need two more people....

So how long does a game with 6 players take? A month?

wish I could, but im stuck in 4 very slow games. you'll find yourself frustrated by deadbeats soon, i think. We should organise an HS'ers only game ASAP though. I suggest all players keep 1 of their 4 games open for a while, then we discuss the rules when everyones familiar with the different game types.

Also, you may have noticed we COULD mod the HS world map as a custom map for the online version ;)
Might be an idea, eh?

Also, I suggest we organise a time/date to set the game up so we can all quickly join, and not have any outsiders in it...

So, of the 8 maximum players, who'd want in?

1) Euryon
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
