<p>Good afternoon, gentlemen.</p>
<p>For those of you who are not yet part of the mailing list, I am
Matthew. I maintain the sfotware that runs the Dramatic StarFleet
campaign. You can find that software at <a href="http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org" target="_blank">sfbdrama.mattnet.org</a>. If
you aren't yet part of the mailing list I suggest that you join
it, as most of my announcements go through that list. There is a
link to the mailing list on the website.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>After taking notes from the conversation that my last email
spawned, I've started up a new campaign called "General War
Operations". It begins in Y177 and will run for 8 in-game years.
Any alpha-octant empire is available, except for the LDR and
Orions. This includes all of the simulator empires (from module
C4) and the "what if" empires of E3, E4, and C6. (though, since
SFB Online is the game interface of choice, you might need to
convince someone to make the SSDs for you, if you choose something
really esoteric.) Currently there is no "PF Federation" empire.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
Some fiddly details:<br>
- 3 turns per year<br>
- Any size class ship (e.g. the Seltorian Hive Ships (SC1) are
allowed)<br>
- No conjectural (unbuilt, impossible) units. (So no battleships
except for the B10 and one or two other historical ones.)<br>
- The first turn is spent buying your fleet. I won't be making your
initial fleet and there will be no scenarios resolved on the first
turn.<br>
- <a href="http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org/docs/rules.html" target="_blank">"Standard"
campaign rules</a>. Nothing fancy with the fleet composition or
scenario-assignment requirements.<br>
- The campaign will last until the start of the 25th turn. The
winner will be the person with the most BPV tied up in units. (BPV
will counted at the costs given by the campaign software. This
includes things such as fighters and drone speed upgrades.)<br>
- Each empire will have up to two seats. <br>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Typically, there is a large amount of players in such a wide-open
format. Turns may take one to four weeks to completely hammer out
each one. Additionally, players may join (or leave) the campaign
at any point with minimal disruption.</p>
<p><br>

<p>To join the game, log into the website (<a href="http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org" target="_blank">sfbdrama.mattnet.org</a>) and
click on "The General War Operations Game" button (on the right
side.) Then click on the "I want to join this game" button. Email
me (<a href="mailto:matt@mattnet.org" target="_blank">matt@mattnet.org</a>) or email the list with your top-3 empires
picks. If you have any questions, you can email me.</p>
