	A forum for Defcon? Increase the size of your Attachments

Could we have a forum for the new geopolitical game Defcon which is going to be released in a few months?

Defcon for those who don't know is geopolitical simulator set in the contemporary world. It looks amazingly good. It fits right into this site's genre. Also there doesn't appear to be a good forum anywhere else.

Here is the website:

click on game on the left and see the screenshots.

There is a discussion on OT as well where quite a few people liked it.

MarkG:

In the game Faq:
"Q. Will the combat be real-time or turn-based?

Neither, or both... let's say a gentle and innovative mix between them.
The battle will begin on pause where you will be able to set waypoints and orders to your units. When you will be ready, just let it go, units will do what they have been told to. If you want to change your strategy or adjust orders to fit the battle's evolution, just pause the combat again and issue new orders to your units, provided they have a good communication rating. "

And we want a Poster's Union and anti-scab legislation too. No more holding the threat of banning over our head, and a maximum term in office for moderators of 6 months, at which point a new moderator will be selected by democratic run-offs.

Why have a forum for Defcon? It's a damn cool game, that's why. Certainly of greater interest than Dinosaurs.

agree with sirot.......a game comes along that is like a REAL world civ game in 1997 (awesome scenario opitions included), its worth mentioning.

When's it come out? Doesn't look like there's any release date on their site, so maybe a new forum wouldn't have enough to talk about for several months.

Maybe if we start spamming enough about getting a defcon forum, the powers that be will give us one...

I believe the games will be released in Q1 or maybe Q2. Not that far off.

Also I think there will be a demo released soon hopefully in the next few weeks which should give us plenty to discuss. That might be a good time to start a forum.
