Battle for the Colonies is a campaign style tournament, designed like the board game Risk, and the popular "Battle For Europe" series. Players join either the British or American side and battle it out over a period of many weeks. Battles last 2 hours and will take place once a week.
Here is the "gameboard" map:

Each colony represents a bg map-- so, say if the British decide to attack N. Carolina, we will play a match on bg_woodland on Saturday to determine the outcome. The side (British or American) that is able to win 50 Victory Points will win the campaign! A battle for the territory (colony) would be a 2 hour match on a server, with registered players coming and going as they please.
This should hopefully be a very fun way to play and add some realism into the game! Matches will be fought skirmish style, with flag cap points determining the victor.
There's a lot more that goes into this and I'd be happy to answer any questions you all may have, but what we need the most are players! Please visit www.bftc.theheroicelite.com (http://www.bftc.theheroicelite.com) to sign up for the first campaign!

Battle for the Colonies will be holding our first battle on Saturday, May 22nd! The match will last from 12pm est - 2pm est. The server IP will be 206.217.201.16:27015. You can find the server password in your private army forums as the date gets closer.
I invite everyone who has registered to come out and play! Remember, you only need to play as much of the round as you want, no need to stay the full 2 hours-- unless you really want to!
Crap I forgot about this
So did I. Is this still going on or failed like everything else in BG2 :o
