I'm still in.
I can be a commander if no one wants it.
Team-Specific Conversations have been set up.
@bleskaceq and @aurelius , please work with your teams to determine who will command each Unit. The units for each side are all the same (despite the icons). The Army commanders do not rotate, and will stay with your units throughout the campaign; Rebel commanders will rotate clockwise each round.
The first battles take place in Suburbs, Green zone, Highway, and Farms, respectively. The maps are in the team Dropboxes should you wish to peruse.
Once everyone is assigned, I will issue the briefings (although they are already in the Dropboxes if you want to look). The briefings will ask each Bn commander/player to spend Command Points for "add-on" forces selected from a menu. The Team Leader will then need to decide which Commanders/players get to use up to 2 "Special Abilities" per Round (no more than 1 Special per battle).
Roleplay has already begun! Loving it! 😍
I think everyone should have Dropbox access, a password, and an invite to the Team private conversation. Let me know if I missed something.
I'll be out of town for work for the rest of the week, without access to my gaming files. I'm back Friday, so if you guys get things sorted by then, I can set up the first Round games this weekend.
I made a Deployment Matrix for each side, in your respective team dropboxes. This will allow you to fill out what Specials and Command Point purchases you want, and the team leader can approve/disapprove. That'll probably be easier on me...and maybe you too 🙂
Dropbox invites with first turns sent to @aurelius @xen0n @nathangun @holoween @alby @spoogles
The first turn is for the Rebels to open, using the provided passwords.
Let me know if you see anything that does not look right.
I'll add @doubled vs @bleskaceq once DoubeD gets his CP picks done.
FYI for both sides, for all games in this or any round: It is possible that your opponents may see into your starting zone. I've tried to limit this, but it may happen in areas with tall buildings. It is also possible that use of a Special by the opposing side may put your starting force in jeopardy (or compromise your forces). Consider yourself warned.
GLTA, except for the terrorist spoogles. it was your bad luck to draw the notorious 'butcher of, um... the notorious 'butcher of the highway area'.
FYI that my father bought me this commission and he was assured it came with a cool nickname. 🙄
Looks like the campaign is officially underway — always great to see a big team game get rolling.
Good luck to both sides. And Alby… “Butcher of the Highway” is a nickname you may end up having to live with for a long time. 😄
I’ll be following this one with interest.

@onepingonly If Alby is Immortan Joe, that makes me the Road Warrior 😎
what is a good way to do small video captures to post ? i just had a cool KPV kill. atgm gunner ended up right in the beaten zone of a KPV. i was pleasantly surprised. this KPV rips thru mud huts nicely. 😍 i wont show any opsec. i got a great close-up of the kpv gunner lighting up that position from about 500 yards, down the gunsite.
finally! i usually find this gun to be very underwhelming in most titles and trust me if you ever saw a KPV, or a 14.5 round they are considerably larger than ma deuce and 50 bmg. those pills would be packing considerably more kinetic ass downrange, but it's not modeled that way. anyway, fun times!! for me and not for the terrorist spoogles, who is pulling his hair out on that one, I'm sure 😉
@holoween & @onepingonly regarding the Farm Battle, who has to play file 002 ??
Its your turn.
@alby @onepingonly Heads up that starting tomorrow I'll be at a conference for a week, so my turnrate will be very slow if I can get any in at all.
Thanks for letting us know @spoogles .@alby @onepingonly Heads up that starting tomorrow I'll be at a conference for a week, so my turnrate will be very slow if I can get any in at all.
@spoogles (the terrorist spoogles) pppppfffft **sneers in disgust** this is ok, except we are beginning to question your commitment to combat mission and the cause of the rebels. but that's fine. take your time. enjoy the good life! you can sip wine nibble charcuterie and discuss the finer points of terrorism with the ladies at your 'conference' while your upcycled farmhand insurgents serve as bullet sponges in the trenches of the highway area. just remember, your ass-kicking is courtesy of 69asad and colonel alby the infamous war criminal and the 'terror' of the highway area. Thats a good one right ? department of scary nicknames is clearing this one.
@aurelius @onepingonly Starting saturday I will be on holiday until the 6th of april and I will not be able to do any turns.
@onepingonly @holoween unless my password has been changed I don't think that file is supposed to be for me.
