    How have you guys liked the electronic warfare rules so far? Any Comms meks in your parties? I still find them very confusing. -Lord Rahvin

    Money

    Thanks, Edge. I enjoy hearing how other people setup and play their games. Any chance you could include descriptions of your adventures/missions/characters (perhaps in another thread)?

    Money

    Mongoose August said in the TTC thread that the final price was meant to be multiplied by the number of WarMeks involved in the mission. Personally, I despise this method. It's convinient from a game-mechanics point, I guess, but it really doesn't make any sense. No one I know would do...

    Armageddon Arena: 2089

    Armegeddon Arena need not actually take place *in* an arena. I'm sorry for any confusion there. It's just a simple concept of placing budget and design limits on Warmek factions, then having those designs in some kind of competition. In some cases, this could be seen as some kind of duel in a...

    Armageddon Arena: 2089

    There apparently wasn't enough interest in such a game. Oh well. I'll continue to writeup the rules and guidelines, and maybe try again in the future when there are more people on Arm2089 forums.

    Armageddon Arena: 2089

    Each scenario will have different rules. I'm writing them up now; I just didn't want to barrage too much information at once on the specifics. I'll work out the specifics though if you'll like the general idea. Herre's some bits from the first draft of the SCENARIO section: SCENARIOS...

    Armageddon Arena: 2089

    I was thinking of a fairly interesting campaign-type based on Götterfunke's idea of a contest between Warmeks as a way of demonstrating effective WarMek designs. What if we did a gladitorial arena thing, wherein PCs played gladitorial combats each session but were sponsored by people online...

    Time To Complition (TTC)

    Thanks for the official update, Mongoose. But you give me false credit -- I can't find anywhere that I brought up the ommission you're talking about. In fact, if that update is used it pretty much blows a hole in some of my arguments, because then the payment comes out to something like half a...

    WarMek stealth-design request

    Client: Shogun's Lancers Class IV Mercenary Squad Base of Operations: Egypt Contract Type: WarMek purchase Shogun's Lancers is putting out a general call to third-party WarMek construction companies. We are in need of a new scout warmek with stealth capabilities to operate on independant...

    My first negotiation

    The final contract price was 102,050 for the 30-day mission. Because the PCs failed the final roll (for negotating "the bottom line, or price"), it was agreed they'd recieve $2050 now and $100,000 upon completing the mission.

    My first negotiation

    My first negotiation happened today. The negotiator was working for a corporation, but I was assuming he had resources similiar to that of a government, through a close (temporary) relationship with certain U.S. departments. This corporation was a mining company (one of the Resource Extraction...

    Time To Complition (TTC)

    Thanks, Lane, for taking the time to comment on this topic. I really didn't think anyone would. I agree, the impression from the books is that the missions were short term jobs. Absolutely. Unfortunately, I just can't see anyone actually running a war this way and I think a significant...

    Time To Complition (TTC)

    Thanks, guest. Two address your two points: * The TTC+3 should in fact be TTC*3. So sorry about that. It still doesn't fix the numbers exactly but it should come a lot closer. And yes, it doesn't work at all if your mission length is less than a month. * I now understand why the...

    Time To Complition (TTC)

    Step Five: The base offer amount is ((Initial Cost * (1.TTC-1))+Complications) * Economic Multiplier, generally rounded to the nearest thousand. p62 I don't know about you guys, but I hate the whole (1.TTC-1) thing. I also don't care too much for the small bits of money handed out. So...

    EF vs. US

    The U.S., definitely. In a war of ideologies, you can't take any other side. The U.S. is going to rely heavily on propoganda. Eventually the whole battle against the EF that will take place in Mexico will be part of corporate plots, and the EF may not even be officially involved at all...
