QuoteGreetings and thanks for your interest in this Centurion play-by-email game. After more than 25 years after the game's release, the 69th Century battle between TOG and the Commonwealth and their Renegade Legion allies rages on. This game will be part of that much, much, much larger struggle.
Please read the following and let me know if this game suits you and what you are looking for.
General Set Up
This PBeM game is a double blind execution of the Centurion game in the Renegade Legion Universe.
Players in the game will act as Optiones (TOG/RL) and 2nd Lieutenants (Commonwealth) in charge of a Platoon in a Century. Most Platoons will have 3 vehicles and each Century will usually have 3 Platoons. This is standard Centurion stuff.
I expect the game to run as 3 players on the TOG side and 3 on the RL/Commonwealth side. I will act as referee executing orders on the main map and handling rules resolutions including combat (based on the orders of players).
Scenarios could be drawn from printed RL material with or without modifications based on the determination of the referee. The more widely distributed the source material, the more likely I will modify it.
Rules will focus on the 1st edition of Centurion supplemented by the Double Blind Rules in the Centurion Technical Update, and some house rules which I will note. Turn sequence will generally follow that in the Centurion Technical Update.
Despite the fact that the Renegade Legion universe takes place 4,500+ years in the future, we will be doing a lot of this old school with pencil and paper.
Starting date will depend on how quickly sign up goes but I hope to start between T-giving and X-Mas.
