Hello everyone, the Council of Stafford would like to know your thoughts and opinions on the War Games.

How are things going?
Have you encountered many problems?
Is this increasing your military awareness of how things work?
Has collaboration been easy? Hard? Why?
Do you think you would join again if we had another wargames?

How is Recruitment going? Is it easy to get people involved?
What would you change if you could?
Are you interested in probably expanding these games to our neighboring counties?
Would you like to add anything to the games that are currently missing?
Is the game slow, fast, just right? Explain please.

Hello enemy!!! Razz

the games are great. apart from all the comments for the cards I have to note the following

1) one referee is not enough. poor TRC is getting nuts with us
2) we need to somehow streamline the submission of movements etc to help turn resolution
3) we need to do some work and update/fix the war/revolt guides
4) with so many people in one team, people tend to feel neglected. it would be better to have 2vs2 teams with separate organization
5) the game is a bit quick. this is because of the cards most probably.

that's all I can think right now

I like it, I'm not so sure how well it simulates actual conflict but it's been very enjoyable (and the change from actual conflict make it more enjoyable).
Have you encountered many problems?
Not particularly, I'm in a decent place financially though and I can see how it could be a burden on other players.
Is this increasing your military awareness of how things work?
Yes, I understand a lot better how army conflict goes.
Has collaboration been easy? Hard? Why?
Collaboration has been very good.
Do you think you would join again if we had another wargames?
Yes, but I'd need a break to make some more monies.

How is Recruitment going? Is it easy to get people involved?
I haven't been involved in this, but it seems effective.
What would you change if you could?
Just some ironing out the kinks issues.
Are you interested in probably expanding these games to our neighboring counties?
I think that'd be great if we could get our neighbors involved
Would you like to add anything to the games that are currently missing?
I think there are lots of interesting scenarios and objectives we could do. I'd also love to see ways of increasing participation.
Is the game slow, fast, just right? Explain please.
It's a bit slow, but RK in general is slow. In order to maintain any semblance of simulation it's the right speed.

Hope this helps - sorry it's mostly negative. Happy to discuss more
The plus is that I've met some great new players through it

How are things going?
> Not really sure

Have you encountered many problems?
> I guess feeling there could be better co-ordination within the team. Playing across time-zones may add to difficulty. Those of us in Europe may need to move before those in US come on-line
> Haven’t received any bread yet.

Is this increasing your military awareness of how things work?
> Not really – I read Jeroen’s explanation of fighting but couldn’t see how it helped decide what to do. I’ve not had any insight into strategy from other players.

Has collaboration been easy? Hard? Why?
> Difficult – time zones. Though good MSN contacts with some other players.

Do you think you would join again if we had another wargames?
> Probably not. Giving up two months is a long time. I feel I’m losing money. I'm not sure I will continue this game

How is Recruitment going? Is it easy to get people involved?
> Haven’t tried bringing in new recruits

What would you change if you could?
> Give up the cards. Far too many to be interesting

Are you interested in probably expanding these games to our neighboring counties?
> Don’t mind

Would you like to add anything to the games that are currently missing?
> Don’t think so

Is the game slow, fast, just right? Explain please.
> It feels as though nothing’s happening – although it obviously is.

1. Excellent
2. Not really just card use confusion
3. Um, I'm just listing what I know, lol
4. A bit of both, due to time being pressed on for actions.
5. Yep!
6. Only those who are really bored and want to have fun, lol.
7. hmm... format maybe? like as in how smoothly things are run. simpler understanding for our newer players.
8. If they'd allow it, it'd be great to play in other counties, as well as being able to increase trade in the counties.
9. Hmm... a rank system? like military ranks, general capt. lt. sgt. pvt. like that, and they can get an additional bonus and such
10. Hmm, well everyone is in a different timezone so it's quite hard to coordinate movements together.

Do you think you would join again if we had another wargames?

How is Recruitment going? Is it easy to get people involved?
>most i know find it a wased of resourses since there is in this part of England not realy ig army's needed at this time

What would you change if you could?

Would you like to add anything to the games that are currently missing?
>option to add npc army's and npc army points makers
>since not many level 3's are now playing and can make ig army's and not to many level 3's in stafford can yet give 30 army points a day

good

Have you encountered many problems?
how that cards where used in the game but it think i understand it now

Is this increasing your military awareness of how things work?
had already have a lot of knowlige of how it worked from the county army
got some more from KoP
its fun to see it now all been used

Has collaboration been easy? Hard? Why?
timezones make it hard to play
since you have to wait what happens before to do a action
i can not post now that i defend ... and then go to work
before that i know if WoS or blue's or civilians have not revolted and taken the town
and after the night shift its almost reset again

Do you think you would join again if we had another wargames?
maybe its good for my travel actions with are needed to gain a higher rank in most army's

How is Recruitment going? Is it easy to get people involved?
most do not want to travel 6 days to here just to simulate a war and later again 6 days back
if there was a real war they would come to help stafford county

What would you change if you could?

Are you interested in probably expanding these games to our neighboring counties?
maybe to KoP with england and scotland as a simulated gamefield
all travel then also simulated to not weaken any county where in

Would you like to add anything to the games that are currently missing?

it is as rk a bit slow for most people i think
