red_003.gifHex based, turn based, online strat game played through your browser. Not sure about the exact setup just yet, as there seems to be no way to actually start a random game with various community members (games are invite only, as far as I know. Anyone wanna clear this up?). So, whats the best community to play online games with other than those from the Penny Arcade forums? There t'aint none, hence the thread.

red_010.gifSo, basically, I'm challenging you PA folk to an old school tactical asswhippin. Just sign up, get familiar with the game, and then we'll get it on, USA style. If we have enough people playing, then I don't see why there can't be a tournament or two. But we can worry about that later.

    This looks pretty cool, actually. I'll give it a shot once my invite arrives.

    My invite didn't take very long at all. Lemme know, and I'll challenge you ASAP.

    The only thing I don't like so far is how damn slow the game takes. Random people don't have time to commit to a quick game, so I've been working on this one guy for 24 hours.

    this game is like crack - i am in the beta test right now. the map editor is awesome as well, so prepare for even more addiction and maps formed like insular penises.

    Did anyone else want an invite to this? I (shockingly) have a free game slot open and can invite new people again.

    Come on folks, it's like Advance Wars but online. COME PLAY WITH ME. IT IS DELICIOUS CRACK.

    Sure thing.

    Me and my friend Jimmy are playing a 1v1, but I've finally started gaining some ground on him. I'll create a game with some PA'ers and him sometime this afternoon.

    Awesome. I'm at work, so I won't be able to take my turn until 5, then an hour commute home. But I'm desperate for some Wee War, so I WILL be playing, have no fear.

    If you don't have an account, just put in your eMail and you'll receive one eventually. If you already have an account, you can create games and invite players, or you can correspond with others and have one of them create and invite.

    Okay, my ingame name is Darmak, please send me an invite someone. I'd rather not play with random people just yet and I'm new to all this so I'll probably suck shit for awhile and if I'm going to lose I'd rather lose to you guys. :)

    This definitely looks like something I could get into.

    I just signed up. How long should I expect before I get an actual invite?

    Hey, I just figured out how to get other people an account. All I need is their e-mail address.

    So, if you want to try this out, just PM me or leave your e-mail address here and maybe me, maybe someone else will help hook you up.
