Hi @guardsman and @aurelius - I’m away until next Monday for work, then have a small window to start your Komarom game next week before traveling for 2 more weeks. Hang tight!
-opo
@onepingonly ach, this has the air of our ahem, 'great' offensive at Kursk! We should have struck weeks ago, now our enemy has had time to prepare extensively .... 😜
Back from China....1 week before vacation!
A few notes on where the games stand:
Noville: @aurelius vs @deadpanic - Almost at the 30 minute mark, 15 minutes (or so) remaining in Battle 2.
Vierville: @spoogles vs @thegreatwhitenorth - Game is ending as planned at 20 minute mark. Please do not take more turns. I will be in touch with next steps and will proceed to Battle #2.
Vierville: @stoneage vs @bleskaceq -Game is ending as planned at 20 minute mark. It looks like you stopped a bit ago, so thank you 🙂 . Please do not take more turns. I will be in touch with next steps and will proceed to Battle #2.
Leopold Canal: @guardsman vs @deadpanic - Almost at 20-minute mark, 10 minutes (or so) remaining in Battle #1.
Komarom: @aurelius vs @guardsman - Will try and get this kicked off this week before vacation. Please forgive if that does not happen. getting the already in-progress stuff sorted will be my priority.
@spoogles @thegreatwhitenorth @stoneage @bleskaceq : Turn 1 for Vierville Battle 2 is up in each of your match folders. I believe the turns are to Spoogles (US) and Bleskaceq (German). Everyone also has their unique briefing files for Battle 2 in the Dropbox for each side (US or German).
@aurelius @guardsman - Dropbox and turn 001 set up for Komarom. File 001 is for Aurelius. You guys are the playtesters, so I guess we'll see how "even" this one is....
Let me know if anything looks amiss. Have fun!
@onepingonly you've sent me the invite to guards and Aurelius.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm running on not enough sleep....
@onepingonly Did turn 001, but I probably won't be able to do 003 until Sunday at the earliest.
@onepingonly Did the Komaron db invite get sent to @aurelius ? Not sure that he has seen the turn 001 file you put in there?
I've seen it, I've just been lazy due to the heat... I will get on it ASAP.
@onepingonly I think I deleted the folder with the briefing to keep open space on my DB... Could you PM me the Battle 2 for the germans please?
Everything spawned in on my end, I'll try to do a turn by the end of the week.
I will be out of the country again beginning Monday June 14 through Wednesday June 24, with no access to gaming computer, Dropboxes, or files.
The various mini-campaigns all look to be on track. Vierville participants may appreciate a more straight-up fight this round. Noville and Leopold Canal are tracking nicely.
@guardsman and @deadpanic - Please stop playing Leopold at file 064. I will be away when this happens, and will assess the state of play when I get back to determine if extra time is warranted or if you can proceed to battle #2. DO NOT do a Cease Fire or Surrender - just let the files sit. As you end Battle #1, remember that line of communication and line of sight will significantly dictate whether or not Battle 2 reinforcements can be placed near the front line, or start in the rear - and how much intel your opponent may get about them. Likewise, units that are in contact will be unable to relocate between Battles. Something to think about for your final turns this round.
@deadpanic @guardsman I've got some court appointed criminal defence things happening this weekend, so no turns. I'll resume on Sunday, probably.
@guardsman Thanks for the first match mate, really interesting game. I look for forward to the next few!
@deadpanic apologies, didnt see this message and OPO's about stopping on turn 064. Hadnt realised it was about to wind up or i would have been more aggressive!
Good first battle round anyway. Enjoyed the map and the uncertainty of what to expect and where from! Looking forward to round 2 🙂
@guardsman @deadpanic When I return from vacation this week, I will review turns and Assess whether or not the game is at a natural end point or if extra time is warranted (like a football match 🙂 ).
Just to let you guys know, my weekend thing turned into an investigation for unlawful possession of a firearm and domestic violence, so turns might be sketchy this week.
@deadpanic Will there be turns any time soon? I have an opening this week, so if we could - we should finish our game.
@aurelius For sure, sorry mate I was under the impression you were still busy.
