No need for apologies, Jay, it was a very tall order. SVC would seem to be a challenging individual to work with and he made it no secret that he personally disliked VBAM and saw no need for any campaign system that wasn't F&E. In any case, as you said, you did your best, so maybe it's time to ...

I noticed that too. Considering I wrote it back in 2006/2007, we are fast approaching a system that is going to be a decade old. I am well on my way to building an objective system for 2e. It is built with a lot of what FA was supposed to deliver with the local campaign rules. Sorry guys. I gave it ...

No worries. We are close. I know we keep saying that, but we are.

GAMEPLAY: For a 'starter' company in this concept, probably you would look at something like the A-37, Hawk T1A, Aero L-39 or the Saab 105. These are the older aircraft that would be widely available and have cheap, plentiful spares... the Hawk is still being produced, even! More modern designs wou...

I wouldn't worry to much Tyrel. After the long wait for VBAM 2E, another month isn't gonna kill us. :lol: It is going well on our side too. Charlie and I are working on the final six "generic" empires for the book, which Tyrel should easily be able to drop in when ready. It is fun to foll...

1.) is the game going to see any future releases? I saw the WWII expansion, but are there any more modern products planned? We haven't ruled it out. Most of the team has been focusing on relaunching the campaign product line. Things were initially very slow, but MAS seems to have had a large spike ...

I will need to send it to you. Keith has taken his site down.

Thanks John!

I heartily want to see this done as well. I have played enough I could probably help out with these ships.

You had mentioned looking for other tactical systems to work with. I would also add that the guy that does Sky full of Ships is just about to release 2.0 version. It would seem to be a very easy fit and the timing might be nice. That is a good idea. I will see if I can find his contact info. Thanks...

Sad to say but this campaign is finished, mainly due to one of my old problems--DBNA (Death By NPE Activation). However, seeing as this was meant to be a warm-up campaign to get me back in the mindset, it's not gone too bad (apart from the base's cost mix-up and other minor problems)...:) Ouch. It ...

I think it was suspected all along that it was largely down to SVC's antipathy to any kind of campaign system that wasn't F&E, and that the deal with VBAM was largely a legacy inherited from Ken Burnside's time with the company. Quite possibly. I have personally never dealt with Ken so I can't ...

Thanks for the update!

This is still going well. Tyrel and I are in the midst of a tech design system change we are VERY happy with. More soon!
