[Gryphin]

Mudshark,
I love the idea. I would be interested in helping and / or contributing. Feel free to email me at: [email protected] if you like.

Gryphin I would appreciate the help you could supply

Puke; Quote "as for content, you might want to include strategic information from military training manuals, or ideas from the published writings of big boys like Rommel or Patten or Nimitz". Do you wish to contribute any kernels that would be of use? I have been studying Europe between 1790-1815. The supply side of the French of this era could be of use for SE IV. Napoleon also had great influence as far as inelegance,
Shutting down the border that was the target. Hence the concentration of force that was a complete surprise, the funny thing is that because of my interest in the past great Generals I happen to be in Last place in my current 3 PBW games. Go figure? I have been working on how to split up the various topics on the website I'm planning. Let alone how to deal with the (hopefully) input with this community. With Gryphin's help it should not be a problem. Honestly it will be a site with a small message board, and me asking for input with winners of PBW players, and kernels of this message board. And yes, the Generals of antiquity

Some more content for your site-in-progress:

Sun-Tzu, the Art of War. We've had a few discussions about it on this site, one of them at
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...3&t=003576&p=2

There's a link there to an on-line copy of the text.


BTW Mudshark, not being funny and it mght have just been a typo in the thread subject, but if you're going to build a website about it then someone ought to point out that you spelled strategy wrong.

Dogscoff, ooh, saucer of milk - Bournemouth!

Mudshark - I know nothing about the technical side of computers but I would be interested in contributing/helping.

Sun Tzu is good, Musashi's book of 5 rings is also worth a try but I think Sun Tzu and Tacticus need to be your starting point

Mudshark: i would love to help. my wisdom on SE4 strategy probably is not as good as some others, but i tend to do OK. what you should use is the old forum thread from this server on PBW tactics. i dont remember the exact title, and cant find it off hand with a search, but it was a very exhaustive list of SE4 strategy contributed to by all of the top players, and everyone generally agreed that it was everything you need to know to fight the good fight.

as for modern military strategy, this is a good starting point:

edit: Tesco Samoa - i dont think MRTG is exactly what he was asking about. more like projections on how much bandwidth to expect to use based on similar sites experience. the answer would be something like: more outbound than inbound, so hosting it over an asyncronous home line (ADSL) would be a bad idea. other than that, its not only about the number of hits, but how much data you have to send on each hit. thus, simple graphics and text with a plain design would take alot less bandwidth than flash animations and big pictures everywhere. I am sure that a bulletin board and reference library would probably use less than a megabit if you kept it simple.

although 'sure' and 'probably' dont belong in the same sentence, i wanted to give Growltigga more ammunition with wich to admonish US citizens for bastardizing his language.

edit2: how about less than half a megabit if it was kept simple, and that with heavy trafic loads. I would be suprised if the entire shrapnel website used a megabit, and the bulliten Boards here probably use under a quarter. you could always ask the local web guru. I know some very high traffic, graphic and media intensive sites (read: porn) that peak at about 3 megabits, and thats peak for a very large operation.

Puke,
Thanks for the link. Do you know anything about how serious they are about "Authorized DoD personal only"? I'm one of those folks that only crosses at crosswalks when it says I can.

[Puke]

there are public sections and gov-contractor-only sections. you cant access anything that you shouldnt be accessing without a password, so i would not wory about it.

[Gryphin]

Mudshark,
Did you have a spesific location for the BBS? I would consider putting it at my "vainty domain" site: www.windingstream.com . Does anyone have any idea how much Trafic a sight might gnnerate?

http://www.ppc.pims.org/Projects/csrc/

is a interesting site. Articles from the 50's-80's on what would happen if Russia invaded Western Europe and other Cold war threats.

It is a good read
