Yes, I am JTimo from the former FGM. I'd be JTimo again, but I messed up when registering for this site. 🤣
I'm down to join if sign ups are still open
OK, Few Good Men -
I'll need you to PM me your e-mails so I can send out Dropbox invites, and I can reciprocate with your passwords.
Also your side preferences if you really, really have one (flexibility is appreciated).

@onepingonly I believe you already have my email from the previous tourneys -- and by all means use the same password, it's served me well for a couple years now!
Hi, private message sent. Best regards and thanks for everything, Manzcaser.
Here we go!!!!!
While I'm working on the best place to post Tourney content, we'll just start here!
I've assigned folks to the Axis or Allied side - remember you are competing against your opponent, but also the other players on your side!
The first battle is in Sicily - an Italian attack on British Paras who are defending a bridge...."inspired by real-world events."
This scenario went 1-1 in playtesting and then got some tweaks. Lets just say the vineyards were red with....grape juice...yes, grape juice. 😆
Randomly-chosen matchups are as follows:
I will set up Dropboxes ASAP and put in the first turn. File 003 will be for the ALLIED player to open and use the assigned password.
There is a briefing for each side. Scoring is the same for both sides: 600 pts for objectives, 400 for inflicting casualties.
Let me know if you have any questions!
@markm - still need your e-mail...
If you haven't signed up and still want to - it is not too late as long as I have even numbers joining!
Exciting! I take it I'm the germans for the first one as my password doesn't work lol!
Make that Italians! It's fun to hear them talk!
I have the first file for our game. I just left for New York City and will not be back home until Thursday. I will not be able to play turns until I return home. I will have my first turn for you when I get home.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

@onepingonly If there is room for a little one put me in please
Happily retired, I worked till I was 72, am now 88, this year 2026 I will be 89
you could say I have earnt my crust
@onepingonly If there is room for a little one put me in please
Sure Hedgehog!!! Let me see if we get 1 other person so there are even numbers.
First combat has begun!!!! Yay!!! Glad we are having the first tourney on the new FGM!
Just a note re: the tourney scenarios: These are all straight-up fights - no hidden objectives, no convoluted scoring within the scenario itself. With few exceptions that I will make clear in the briefings, it's all about capturing objectives and killing the enemy. The specific weight for each of those may differ, so pay attention in the briefings. Also, briefings are not intended to mislead - no trickery involved. Take them at face value.
Hope everyone enjoys this... 😊
I will set up a PM as people start finishing or nearing the end of battle #1 so they can discuss.
Thanks @nort for letting us know you will be away. A model for everyone to follow...
Yeah, I like it when Nort is away too. 😋
I can get away with that as Nort has been a friend of mine around 30+ years.
