An offer...

Viking, is that an offer to play? If so, great! Any country for my part, doesn't matter. I do like European Theatre. You can go ahead and put down your prefs and maybe we can get a game setup for us. Just email me the turn when ready.

Nice offer, Lars. Ever the gentleman!

Why not have the players submit a brief summary of the battle they want to play and the forces they want to both use, armor heavy, grunt fight, etc, and allow the "picker" for want of a better word choose the equal forces and surprise the guys?

Wild Bill

Ohh, Thank you Sir!

I'm very happy you liked the idea WB. To have the recognition from the Great Master of SPWaW is the best compliment one can get.

And yes, I think both players' state their "preferences" and then I'll mix it to make a balanced play, with a few surprises. One advantage I find with this is that you may play with units never used in ordinary PBEM game, and that you can create a setup with major nations vs. minor and have them playable.

I would like to try this, set up anything just want to try.

I agree..... that would be neat to have a more random and challenging battle, not to mention pretty even. Count me in as an opponent. Wonder if this would justify a separate ladder using only games arranged this way? Also... slots....what is the effect of carrying on two games in the same slot? Will the settings of one game override the other? Could several games be played in the same slot by deleting one save and unzipping another game turn into that slot?

Thanks guys,

I think I have a battle for you almost ready. US/Brit vs. Italy/Ger 1943? C&C on or off? It's originally made for C&C on so I may have to adjust it a bit if you choose C&C off. Let me know...

No banditjim, there's no side effect on carrying two games in the same slot, I do that all the time.
I do however save the mail containing the zip for a while if anything should happend.
I have also learned that you can erase the .rec file if you have trouble loading the game. Gmenfan stated that in another thread.

Buzzard45 and I would like to give this a try, Lars.

I'll contact you by email, but the basic set up is:

Capt. Pixel - Poland
Buzzard45 - France

3000 points each, Small map, Meeting engagement, 6'40

Random Map, vis, duration, weather

Everything On except C&C
Ammo set to Limited (Not Reduced)

Reasonable proportions of artillery, armor and infantry (give the Poles plenty of ATGs so they have something that can affect French armor, please?)

We'll post a DAR with lots of friendly banter (at Buzzard's request )

Very good CP, I'll get right on it.

Give me a day or two and I think I should have something for you.

/Lars

CC off please, this is going to be interesting

Trust me, Lars is about to take to a land of blood and guts...one you won't forget soon. BOYAH!

I agree with Viking.... C and C off. Otherwise let 'er rip! I am looking forward to a real battle against Viking.

This is a great idea.

An endless number of scenarios, which neither opponent can have any idea of before playing it.

I´m looking forward to my game against Buzzard45, and thanks for doing this for all of us.

I think it should be agreed to trust with no recrimnations, no bitching once you have your force. You fight with what you got! Let's not attack the man who is providing the tools with which to fight. Agreed?

That should go without saying. Since you put it so eloquently, Agreed.

Wait a minute? You can say bitch on this thread?:rolleyes:

Thanks WB for covering for me...

You know this is another good thing with this way of playing. You will never know if you have the sronger or weaker force.
But you can be sure that you'll have a chance if you play wisely and you know you don't have to protect yourself from hordes of MG-Jeeps with Bazooka units.

Thanks for your support WB

You can say it, Buzzard, if you mean it in a good way

You cannot use it on Wednesday or Sunday. For belligerent ex-wives, unwinnable scenarios, and the mean salesperson who looks down his or her nose at you, it is permissble.

This according to the "Wilder Dictionary of Politically Correct Slander words"

Well, thank you Buzz! That means a lot to me. Now I'll have new respect for the those low flying black winged creatures the next time I see them.

You gotta admit, though, some of those scenarios of mine are a bi....what day is it?

You must be thinking of those California Condors. I'm a Turkey Vulture on my mother's side and we fly high.

You're not worried Lars will be taking away some of your thunder, are you? Nah, there is no substitute for a Wild Bill adventure, silly me.

BTW Lars, its just like Christmas.

Such pretty presents and a great map.

Hang on Capt. P., its comin' but I gotta learn to speak French. Vous du Batard, attende moi. C'est ne pas la, c'est ici!! Vite! Vite! Vous avez une salle du bain, n'est pas?

How am I doin'? Mon crayon est grande et bleu. (My pencil is big and blue):p
