Okay I'll give it a go. I'll need a Steam key.
Check your PM. Good luck! :)

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

6 Steam codes are left.

@JasonPratt, bbmike - are you in, and do you need a key?

Sadly, no. Too much going on right now and Origins is only a month away!  :D

I never played SC before but I am interested! I have some serious wargaming vibe going on lately on the tabletop and I have dived into TOAW 4 and CO2 seriously, so SC2 seems like a good fit and doing that in a tournament fashion is even more excitinf!

Can I get some prep time to get used to the game if I make it in?
About the return rate: do we need to finish the scenario in 5 days or do we return a turn every 5 days max, or 3 days preferably?

I'm in.

Hit me with a key please.
Cyrano, check your PM. Ignore the first one - as I sent you the one sent to Iudi1867 in error. I have since sent you a new code that should work for you.

Have fun!

I have four codes left, so I'm leaving the formal start till around this time next week to gain a few more players.

I've sent you a code, so by all means jump in and have a play around with it.

As to the return rate, I'm happy with what the consensus of players suggest. I think pushing out any of the larger scenarios will be a struggle in 5 days, and I don't want anyone stressing out over their games, so I hope we'll have a good idea of what people think is a reasonable time to complete their scenario over the next week, and we can loosely apply it +/- a few days if people are struggling to complete. This competition is about having fun, not worrying about getting finished too quick, hence I want to know what the players consider reasonable so we have a consensus before we start.

Four codes left to go...

Flare to JasonPratt, Panzerde, as I think you'd like the game, and indeed anyone else who might like to join in.  :hug:

Having just finished out one of my big mp games, sure, I'm in. :)

(One thing I had to do was ensure I don't already have SC classic in its original BF form, but I'm sure I don't -- I have WW1 Breakthru, which includes an updated version of SC Classic in effect, but that isn't the same thing. I've also got SCWW2, the new one, already.)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

How are we going to choose smaller missions and sides?

I would be interested in joining the Strategic Command game if it is not too late.  I don't own it on Steam, so will take a code, or can purchase.
