How to play the game:

  

Types of Missions (BUILDS) Players can do:

Players have the ability to choose from a range of different mission types (Builds) at the start of the game. Besides free builds, all of the other mission types will be posted on the map. Players will need to check out the map when they are looking for missions to do. 

Our new INTERACTIVE MAP will show all available missions. Players can sign up for missions by posting here!

1. Free Builds: This is a free category of builds, where players can build whatever they want to earn more money and develop their presence in the game. Such builds can be life in camp, a MASH, a POW camp, a sea platform, a unit out on a patrol, a communications station, a forest outpost - anything the players like. These builds will be bigger and more detailed of course and can bring more money to players. There is no limit to how many of these a player can do per build cycle. Side builds will simply be judged on a pass or fail basis. Poor quality builds put together in haste for quick money acquisition will be failed with zero credit given. Quality over quantity. NO LIMIT PER CYCLE
Freebuilds Range from 5-10 Brick bucks depending on Size, Quality, Etc. 

2. Story Missions: Throughout the game situations are going to arise around the globe that will provide opportunities for players to embark on a story building adventure. Each of these story arcs will have it's own missions and requirements for completion. PLAYERS CAN ONLY SIGN UP FOR 1 OF THESE AT A TIME SUBJECT TO EXPIRY.

3. Contract Missions: As the war rages around the world, entities are going to request certain "services" from players at random. PLAYERS CAN ONLY SIGN UP FOR 2 OF THESE AT A TIME SUBJECT TO EXPIRY.

4. Conflict Zone: If a full fledged conflict breaks out in an area, the player will have certain criteria in order to participate in that conflict. Builds will range from espionage to full on battle based on the conflict. LIMITS WILL BE BASED ON THE CONFLICT INDEPENDENTLY. PMC Players are only eligible to play Conflict Zone if they are hired by a country.  

When posting builds, players should use a third party host (such as flickr) to host their images and post the images in their posts here. Builds should have a title formatted as follows [GBW] - Build Type - Mission Name
