ALPHA Testers Wanted: Stalingrad Nightmare on the Volga

[bcgames]

Experienced Desert War Players only!

I think I have PM'd everyone I've ever played Desert War via PBEM and invited them to join the ALPHA Test Team...but I may have forgotten someone. If so, and you are interested in ALPHA testing, please drop me a PM.

If you are an experienced Desert War player and we have never played a game together--and you are interested in playtesting Stalingrad--send me a PM. We'll have a game and see how you do.

We need Desert War game smarts right now...BUT! Lots of opportunity ahead for those interested in the BETA test with no experience. Stand Ready!

Thanks!

I don't know you? Well let's just cut to The Chase...

I've just issued three challenges for Rats vs Rams. I'll play the Italians; and You? The Commonwealth. Let's see your game.

Good show? An ALPHA playtester YOU! A bad show? Thanks for playing--and keep at it!

Sixth Army Strikes. Test it.

Stalingrad: Nightmare on the Volga is an operational level, ground-centric wargame that recreates the decisive battles fought between the Axis and the USSR for the possession of this key city on the Volga. It consists of a series of brief, historical scenarios and campaigns that allow the players to explore the ebb and flow of the actual conflict. The game covers the period between 23 July and 18 November 1942; from Hitler’s directive to capture Stalingrad to the beginning of the Soviet counter-offensive--Operation Uranus.

Hello All,

We have an ALPHA version of Stalingrad: Nightmare on the Volga ready for playtesting. If you are an experienced Desert War player we would like to get your views on the acceptability/playability of our next edition to the Desert War game engine.

Send me a PM if you are interested in an audition.

Oooohhh a screenshot!!

Sadly I'm not experienced DW player and even if I was I'm pretty rubbish at most games so I'd hardly push the engine.

Still may apply for the Beta.

[bcgames]

No problem. Everyone is a beta nowadays.

Sad face. Three ALPHA testers signed up and happy to have them...but it was just three. Was this the wrong game topic? If so, let us know. What do you want to see instead? The audience decides what we do.

[bcgames]

We cannot proceed any faster than our reactions to the insights provided by our testers. If you are interested in advancing our project and you are a player of Desert War--let us hear from you. I take this game engine as serious as you.

I imagine people don't feel good enough at the game to fulfil what you have asked for.

Personally I think you're best just opening up to all those who have played DW, and then open further to anyone new to the series.

[bcgames]

No worries. The Players have answered the call.

I sent a PM a few weeks ago but no reply ; it seems my pm was blocked to bcgames address? I can still help out if needed

[bcgames]

pk,

I re-sent my email to you.

[bcgames]

pk,

Glad we could connect.

Anybody else? Fun work, no pay. Send me a PM if you are interested.
