Campaigns & Battlegrounds

As you may know a few months back there was a Linebattle campaign running called Generals And Gentlemen, which was set in Europe.  Unfortunately due to a few factors this campaign fizzled out.

We have received information from General Tambour de Garde, of the 3°Régiment de Grenadiers Français that he is creating a new linebattle campaign game called Campaigns & Battlegrounds.  They currently have a website and forums located here: http://battlegrounds-and-campaigns.webs.com/apps/forums/.  The first campaign is titled "North vs South" where teams struggle for the domination of America with one faction starting in the North and the opposing in the South.

Teams that enter have the choice of 6 nations to play as:
  • Great Britain
  • France
  • Spain
  • Portugal
  • Netherlands
  • Russia
Unlike Generals and Gentlemen this is not a free-for-all campaign, you get alliances with other nations depending on whether you are in the North or South faction. There is a draft of the rules on their forums at the moment.

This should be a very welcome development for the linebattling teams as at the moment there is no real competition or league for them to participate in.

Community news update!

We're back! We thought tiedup's interview was enough lecture for a few weeks, so the entire redaction has been on holiday in Libya.  Let's start off with some good news: we have in fact managed to produce an oracle for BGU matches between the top 3 clans. Your predictions will never be wrong again! Unfortunately, one of bg's oldest clans, TEHO, had to leave the league as they are in need of more players. The latest drama involves 42Cdo and 28th: these clans do not seem to like eachother at all, and their respective clanleaders have had some heated discussions. For more information on this, you can check the 42Cdo forum , which is in fact a great source for bg2-drama. Moving on, we have some news regarding Livgarden: the recently appointed leader Heinz was replaced by the original founder, Wellington. The weeks of inactivity did not do the clan any good, they did not manage to bring enough members for a linebattle against 3°RGF. All is quiet on the North Am

{3°RGF} Custom Skins

Image
Using our superior investigative powers The Observer has uncovered some pretty neat looking player skins made by the French clan {3°RGF} (3°Régiment de Grenadiers Français).   As you may have guessed by the clan name they are based on French uniforms of the Napoleonic period. As you can see they have some pretty nice stuff here.  It's a shame is they haven't released these to the community as I'm sure there are a few Napoleonic Wars enthusiasts around.

The Linebattle Championship is approaching and BG2 Development

At the Observer we have received an update on the progress of the LBC .  The site is near completion and the organisers are looking to sign up clans to participate so rules can be discussed.  So if you're in a linebattle clan tell your leader, or if you are a leader sign up here . Also in the Observer's hiatus development on BG2 seems to have increased in pace.  Screenshots of two new maps, bg_trenton and bg_township , have been posted to moddb .  Of course as some may know, bg_township isn't exactly a new map as it had featured in previous releases of BG2 years ago. There has also been a lot of discussion on the future of BG2 on the forums.  Don't panic, we're not talking about whether there is a future, but where the mod will be going in the future.  This was all sparked of by a new user reviving this two month old thread . There has been a lot of change in the BGU, the reigning champions Be Blue! are going inactive leaving Alpina and TRR to fight over thei
