*sigh*

Apparently it's "HLP is unusable" day again.

[0rph3u5]

It's just me. Today, will fix the posts tomorrow. (EDIT: Well, at the end of the day)

But, come one, a three letter rotation cypher isn't that hard.

EDIT: April Fools Prank removed.

[The E]

Oh, so it's just "Orpheus is unusable" day

No, it's not *hard*, just incredibly annoying and irritating.

[Admiral MS]

The idea of shipyards competing while also given unreasonable conditions from the government sounds intriguing and I will buy RTS 2 no matter what. Still I don't think I will be able to reliably deliver all ship proposals on time... so I would be happy just reading your posts

[Enioch]

Well, before stating your intentions to buy the game, may I remind you all nice people that it's arguably pretty pricey for what it offers (around 35$, if I remember correctly). The fact that I'm an RTW nut should not cause either of you to spend hard-earned money on something you might not enjoy, which is why I said I'd be accepting of any type of submission.

@Orpheus, if the HLP proletariat votes for the USSR, I'll be sure to ask for help if it proves necessary, many thanks for offering! For now, Italy is leading and we haven't even reached 10 entries, so don't hold your breath.

Count me in for some narrative support. Newsreel or something like that. Or a rather badly drawn blueprint for ships

It's not like that's breaking my bank these days.

Also, I'm currently stocking up on games that do not need a GPU.....

Vote cast for the mighty Blighty.

I enjoy reading this and expect to in the future too.


Only gripe is that Portsmouth has an O.

[The E]

If we play Britain, I demand this ship be given its chance to shine

[TechnoD11]

Please make more! These have been awesome to follow!

I fear the modern Army is in a worse state than that ship would have been.

As I said, I will buy it anyway. I spent too much time playing RTW 1 to not get the new one

[Scotty]

Voted!  I like this thread quite a lot, though admittedly I'm almost more interested to see what happens when the player hasn't practically solved the game before the undertaking.

[Darius]

A "what if Italy's military was good" would actually be quite interesting...

[Mika]

Voted Vodkas, Ferraris and Baguettes.

I can occasionally provide some snippets if Russkies. Keep 'em distilleries safe! Hopefully Russkies are also more RNG heavy

Haven't been able to participate in HLP for a year due to lecturing and other side projects.

[Enioch]

I am looking for 20+ participations (60 votes) to commit to a new thread.

Might be asking a bit too much of current undead hlp

Oh ye of little faith.

I suppose I can call this a success, although I wouldn't mind that final vote to scratch the itch. Poll will remain open until the set date, although for now it seems we will be looking at a cooperative game as the pastalovers.

*Land-based aviation intensifies*

[The E]

it's on now

[TechnoD11]

cooperative game

Great! can't wait to see us all play the obvious best choice, the Frenc-

pastalovers

Well I guess some changes can be made to my technical drawing:

[Colonol Dekker]

Needs more white flags

[Enioch]

Ahem.

PSA: NWS have announced that the game release will be delayed to May 17.

http://nws-online.proboards.com/thread/1445/rule-waves-2-developers-journal?page=3

There is, however, no way I can extend the current poll to that date without scrapping it and restarting it.

At this point, there have been 26 individual votes (thanks to all you lovely people for your participation), with a slight preference towards a collaborative game. Wrt playable nations, Italy is leading by a hair's breadth, followed by the UK and Russia.

Despite the release delay, this poll will close as originally planned, on the 25th of April. If you're reading this and you still haven't cast your votes, this is probably a good time to establish Italy's lead or make the great upset and force me to play the Lion or the Bear.
