At times they (60mm) baffle me- where is the concentration?! At other times, they just stonk...
How about this for a compromise?
Since I was trying to 1) avoid Spamming mortars in every game, and 2) place a realistic constraint in that Bn-level mortars might not be on the map (which is true for most CM games but these maps are LARGE):
“1) No on-map Bn-level mortars for Battle 1 (since forces are just deploying)
2) up to 1 on/-MAP Bn-level mortar battery for Battle 2 (Bn-level assets start showing up)
3) Any Bn-level mortars can be on map in Battle 3. (Bn-level assets are fully deployed)
For 2&3, the Bn-level mortars cannot deploy in a forward set-up zone.”
I would forego re-doing campaign purchase.
I don’t want to bother solving something that isnt a problem.
let me know if you have an edit or different idea.
Ive sent you my new purchase... I didn't get the memo soon enough and to be honest I'm happy with my new purchase now as its a well rounded force...
Best..
I trust you still have some hair left on your head and no face palm marks.... I'm working my way to shipping you a nice bottle of red wine...
I've also made a paper version of the xl sheet so I can mark off what I purchase for each battle...
I'll work on the purchase for match 1 in the mean time until it gets flagged or ok'd
Am I still using the last 003 file or waiting for a new one? if its a new one can you erase the old versions please...
OK - I have implemented the above changes in the rules and briefings, which have been updated in all the Dropboxes. This includes a change to NOT track mortar ammunition usage from mortars organic to an on-map formation (whether or not the mortars themselves are on- or off-map). Basically, if you buy artillery from the Artillery formation menu, it's a 1 use item. Mortars organic to, say, an Inf Bn will be considered replenished between battles.
I've reset @bleskaceq vs @thegreatwhitenorth to Bleskaceq's turn 001 to redo purchasing with the changes. Bleskaceq is up first.
I'm not taking any action on @aurelius vs @deadpanic because any infraction isn't worth it to fix, given their game is a few turns in.
Thanks for bringing the issue up, and for listening to me think out loud.
Well you're a prince and doing all the work....
I'm an underdog here but I'm going to kick some balls around...
Looking forward too the Wintergreen re do map meeting engagement or attack defend battle if you use the map... 😉
@spoogles Said: "Putting down my interest once you set up a new matchup! This sounds super fun. Sad I missed it when it was originally posted. "
Hey @spoogles - Good to see you back, buddy! I'll probably start another pairing (sounds like wine and cheese) after the current 2 games transition to Battle #2 so I can get kinks ironed out. Chap had expressed interest in the CMRT game over on Discord. Time permitting, I may work up a CMBN or CMFI equivalent. Sele River/Salerno comes to mind for CMFI.Kandu and GreatWhiteNorth have offered up some maps for CMBN that I need to check for suitability.
@bleskaceq and @thegreatwhitenorth - Everything looks good - OK to proceed!
Oh Thank god!!!
My setup is now in. Over to you, GWN. Sorry about the delay, I might be a little slower on the turn rate for the upcoming two weeks. Busy busy times
@bleskaceq Its all good... Life come first then destroy the will of your opponent... Take your time I also have other matches going...
Best
Our match can be a slow motion train wreck with my skills lol...
Good job @thegreatwhitenorth and @bleskaceq - both Battle #1s are now "really" underway!
I spent some time last night working on a CMBN Canadian vs. German 3-battle operation. More to come soon, but I will be looking for a pair of players to test it.
The CMRT Radzymin operation had testing done before bringing it here. The CMFB operation is a copy and paste of the concept, and was untested prior to this thread. The CMBN (and any others) will be like that.
Sounds great!!!
