Dystopian Wars / Re: community rules changes - ideas/direction

Hi guys !

For information, we've just started today in the french DW community an initiative to establish a "2.51 FR" version of the rule (FR is not for translated in french but for "in application in France" but translation may come later... ).
The purpose is to have a standardized version for our community until something may appear in the furtur if another company buy DW intellectual property.

We will make a few ammendments on the existing V2.5 rules and correct orbats in order to make them usable and better balanced. Theses rules will be used in tournaments and events in France.

If you are interested by this, I will report here about this process.

The V2.5 clearly bring some improvements to DW, but the main issues is that orbats are not finalized (without speaking about a few rules problems). The released versions are early draft that have been released to make the community wait for final ones, but they are stuffed with mistakes (lots have been reported on SG forums but not taken into account) and the impact of rule modification on overall balance of the game have not been tested.
As a result, I'm really splitted between keeping for a while the V2.0 (with was stable and rather well balanced), or jumping to V2.5 and making the required modifications to rrules and orbats, to make them usable...

Thanks for your post Ruckdog, you summarize more or less what I feel about SG demice...

Do you know other place/forum where we can find some survivors from the SG forums and community ?

Hi everybody here !

After the wreckage of Spartan games and the closure of SG forum, I wandered around to find any parts of the community, and final I arrive here.
It seems I'm not the only veteran from SG forum here...

A few words about me : 43, living in France (near Valance), I played Dystopian wars since the V1.1 and I was really involved in the community (as beta tester/focus team member and forum user) since the V2 development process.

I'm here with the hope to find other people willing to keep this wonderfull game alive and to try to keep the community united.
In France we have a community rather organized around french forum (http://spartan-forum.forumactif.fr/), and we all decided there to make what is necessary to keep SG games alive. But it will be important to keep contact with what runs elsewhere around the world and keep contact with other communities.

Regards,
