Rami Sihvo is my real name ;) I thought that any my former nicknames would be stupid or lost too much meaning in translation.

Has anyone caculated possible outcome of Confed vs. BWU battle? How badly Banshees are beaten?

So, in nutshell, war can´t be never controlled by the rules, but Geneva conventions rules are needed to reduce wars chaotic effects and prevent war changing to acts of revenge. Any war has potential to turn as black as war in Bosnia. That means civilian infrastructure are only targeted when...

As a political union BW was new, but bot historically and military way all planets in border were linked so they could be called as border worlds beacuse history and geography. Every colonized system has its own homeguard beacuse confed can´t maintain defending forces anywhere and that means...

Ok, that was it. Noticed how certan speeds hitting in asteroid didn´t affect on you even when you used coventional drive? I didn´t never try how fast i could go. Were there any speed limit with computer assisted fligth off?

Probably BW:s military doctrine is similar to small unaligned countries in nowadays. For example Finnish military doctrine is customized to local conditions. In war situation armed forces mission is to cause losses to attacker so that taking over the land would be possible but cost...

That depends how much acceleration is. One G should be most used beacuse long time in high G harms crew. That is unless you have some speudo-scientific way to move ship or shield crew from G effects. In wing commander and most scifi universiums capital ships use their artifical gravity...

Greatest problem with realistic physics is that it doesn´t appal to masses. Not all are interested to program ships computer to intercept and open fire and then watch battle last 1.2 seconds... Still Iwar had small time acceleration effect when you used main drive, wich was some sort of...

Well, i have to agree on that :)

I read once one furry novel serie called: "Question of honor" and it really kick some ass. Setting was ripped from WC3, but confed consisted several furry races. Story was that one kilrath ship full of outcast was send inside confed space with no chance to come back. I liked it and i...

Reality check! I ansver no, morally it is never right to make war crimes to win the war. In WC3 both strategically and tactically it was only way to acheve higher moral good. In geneve convention most countries have signed rules of war beacuse after WW2 civilian population is first to...

That mask was largely made from old sofa ;) I´ll pass your comments to my frend. There was also some plastic masks, but they didn´t were as good. I think there should be WC-larps in US too. If there is only 5 million people in Finland and 5000 LARP players and enough WC fans to make several...

Yeah, it was bit much to arrage. Funny that everybody asks about those fighters, you see they didn´t really exist in game, but pilots did go to "flight deck" wich was off-game area and flow simulator there. Place for game was four times in basement and two time in forest beacuse of ground...

I was just wondering about have you heard about LARPs wich were based on WC saga? To those who don´t know what LARP is, it stands for Live Action Role-Playing. I´m a LARP-nut and actually keeped few WC-based LARPs couple years ago.

My callsign has always been Gorath from old Betrayal at Krondor crpg wich was based on Raymod E. Feists Riftwar books.

I bet those people in alt.fan.furry would answer those questions ;) At least they fight over such issues... You know you're a 'Furry Fan' when... http://www.furnation.com/mayfurr/ykyaffw.htm

Yeah, i had that problem too. I just didn´t try to make game compatible for wc3+ ships. I think that WC3+ ships could be "downgraded" beacuse fighters weapons and shields would be improved over time so the gap between ships wouldnt be so great.

About Tabletop game... BTW ':D' I have made wc tabletop strategy game myself and it has been playtested a bit. It was developed from AD2300 Traveller role-playing games space combat rules. With the rules i was able to play with WC1 and WC2 ships but laiter ships would need more work so i...

But most scary thing is that there is a Lesnick-system in WCP map...

WC4 is best, if it would work. WC2 is still good and in those times it were something far more. I started just play WC2 agan and it rocks still. Still its quite diffrent in P200 than in 25mhz 386... Movie style games were born after WC2, still its like some hollywood action movie when Blair...
