Would it be just for CD owners?
Nope, anyone can play, CD or No CD will be fine.

You are playing regular campaign battles against the AI BUT instead of playing normally, you are basically playing the battles that pop up in my campaign as I proceed from the save game files. This way everyone get the same mission with identical forces, map, etc. The key is how each player does in each mission. Since it is a campaign that I am playing, everyone has to start each battle with the identical force as I do.

To give a better overview.
  • I create the 5 Battle Campaign using the criteria I listed (player core force, enemy nations, dates, etc).
  • I load a custom map, set up the VH's based on the mission (and the story I see unfolding in my head), the # turns, etc.
  • I save the campaign and send it to all participants (it will be loaded by players like a regular saved game file).
  • You load the Save File, deploy your forces how you see fit as the MRB Commander and play the battle.
  • When you are finished, you send me the End Game File and I record the results (point totals).
  • The results of MY battle only, are carried over to the next battle (since its a regular generated campaign on my machine) and this means everyone plays the next battle with whatever I have been able to repair between the battles.
I will probably get about 10 turns into my copy of each battle before I release the "Save File" to players. This way I can create more a more detailed intel briefing for the players to go along with the game file and give you some idea of what is out there.
