Hi all you Knight Hawks fans out there. I'm starting up a play-by-post version of the KH Second Sathar War game (the same one I'm writing the computer program to play). If your interested in playing come on over to the Star Froniter Network forums and join in on the Second Sathar War Boardgame Campaign. We'll start playing once we have players for each side.

This time around it will be standard rules. Once we finish the first time I intend to run it again with the KH Vector rules.  After that, maybe the FrontierScape rules will be ready and we can play with that system.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, heard it all before.

Remember, we are 1-0 in the Sathar buttkicking department....

Correction: Your ansssessstorsss are 1-0. Our agentsss have sssince infiltrated your petty sssociety and bred thossse traitsss out of your sssyssstemsss. The UPF isss weak, like cattle being led to the ssslaughter!

And, you are all just chicken.

Nice try infiltrating Pauly Shore and Adam Sandler into our society though....

Our supreme UPF commander has had to bow out, so if anyone is interested in taking over, drop on over to the game and volunteer.

SmileNo reason you couldn't do both if you wanted to, the play rate is about 1-2 turns a week on the PBP game.

How many ships does one player control?

Depends on how many players we have.  Will had been controlling all the UPF ships as he was the only UPF player.  ShadowShack and Art are running the Sathar and split the ships in the battles.  Each side has a private forum for discussing tactics and strategy.  w00t is also a UPF player but let Will run the show.  So if we get more than one person to join the UPF side, they can decide among themselves how many ships each will run.  If there is only one player, you get them all.

OK, I'm seriously looking at it.  Should I set up my own map at home?

you don't need to.  For each round I post updated postions showing the paths the ships took.  You can call out positions by using the hex numbers or just take the map, draw on it with your favorite paint program and attach the new version as an attachement to your post describing speeds, weapons fired, etc. if you want.  You can also set up your own board, whatever works for you.  If you want to take over the UPF, register on the site and I'll give you access to the UPF private channel and you can start posting there and get fully up to speed.  We are currently in the Battle of Prenglar thread, the Sathar just blew up the UPF Fortress and it is the UPF team's move.

Though, I'd really like to play with the new vector rules.  How much longer will this game last?

Probably a while, we are only on the first major battle.  However, if there is a strong desire to play it with the Vector rules, I'd have no problem starting another one.  I'm sure Art at least wouldn't mind dropping the current game in favor of a Vector game.

Okay, so I started a discussion thread over in the game area to discuss starting up a KHVector SWII game.  If anyone here is interested drop on over and chime in.
