MDF Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ah, I just remembered, then there is the other issue that Red Tide turned out perfectly, it was the closest campaign in history -- it came down to the final 5 minutes of the very last scenario. In my mind it goes down as a classic, and any additional play of it would likely be down hill from that experience. If we are all willing to accept that future versions of it will likely not be so closely played, then OK, great I will probably run it again. Right now though it holds a special place in my memory though. Well, just slap a different name on it and fire it up. That should create enough emotional distance if it crashes and burns. How about "Blue Breakwater 1985"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted April 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well, you never know what will happen until you try it -- minor setbacks are inevitable in these things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a number of campaigns since Red Tide, and most of them have worked out well and been most enjoyable. But none so nail bitingly intense as Red Tide. I look forward to participating in RT/RB v2.0 when you and Volcano have the issues sorted. To paraphrase what V said, 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDF Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Was referring to MDF's.Hopefully my prior post was taken purely as jest (if a bad one -- just can't resist a pun). I surely appreciate all the hard work you put into the campaign, and am confident a workable solution will be found. I'm very much looking forward to the revamped version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 No its OK, we are still working on it. Besides if I shelved it what else would I do - watch TV, talk to my wife, relax, … Much better to try to squeeze one last ATGM team in before the house of cards collapses. Maybe we should start specifing "user requirements" to participate? Must have fast cable / optic fibre Internet connection (100 up / 100 down) Must have 16GB of RAM on machine Must have 2TB Video card Must have water cooled iX processor … 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
