Absolutely! And if you know of anyone else that would be interested, send them in this direction!
I would like one more Admiral before we fire this up, plus anyone that wants to be a backup, *and* Captains willing to fly when needed.

I would love to play, but I would like more details about the time requirements.

I have been playind SFB since the early 80's, and really love SFC.

I would hate to drop out if the requirements are too high.

Thanks

Well, I figure for issuing orders to your fleets and builds and such, would take maybe half an hour to prepare. This will generally only happen once a week. In cases where there are battles, there will usually be a two week period for those to be resolved before the next turns orders will be due. With the battles, its hard to say time-wise. Some fights may be an hour, some may take several hours over a few days. The nice thing is that you can "farm out" your battles to other captains if you don't have time to fly them yourself.

well that I can handle.

As far as fighting the battles, I haven't got the downloads necessary to do so.

Is there a charge for this?

if not, I can certainly run a battle

Thanks

For Federation Commander online, you can do $15 for three months. Or I think its $20 for FC + SFB for three months. Most of the battles for this campaign will take place on FCOL.

That being said, I have a few groups that are doing a campaign all with local players so they can do all the fights face to face.

Do you have a set of campaign rules for download?

Confirming as an admiral

Tried to run the demo for fcol last night, couldn't figure out how to fire

Krellex · Post by **Krellex** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:51 pm

You have to click on the weapon you want to use on the ship card, then pick the target, then hit fire.
