Okay, the overall terms are clear:

>>5000 points 100 x200 random map no mines in meeting engaements ( except what engineers lay during the game everything at default C&C off Rareity off - like ammo sgt. said.

i give you 3 map choices here. these are 100x140 and 100x160 maps. i think 100x200 is a little too big. these map sizes will do for only 5k points, or ?

the 3 maps overwrites your map no. 12-13-14 in the map folder ( these were small default maps, so i think no one will miss them ).

everyone interestet in the topic can give his vote which map should be used, not only the players. poll lasts for 1 week !

still 2 open positions by the way:

1 experienced ( no vet ) for GER or US and 1 newbie player for GER.

----------------------------
viking: GER VET
rbrunsman:US VET
frankw: US or GER EXP
sonni: newbie US
----------------------------

how about other things like infiltrators, arty + air limits etc ?? should this be played w/ the option that the US player can have let´s say 5% more arty and 1 more air section than the german player ( if air will be used at all ? ) to simulate the suppority of these weapons for the US ???? 25-30 turns ??

i just read that sonni doesn´t have H2H and can´t d/l it the next time..

so H2H or 7.1 ?

there´s is no hurry btw. we can even wait till ( if ? ) the new SPWAW is out. i

ps: for ppl. who need more info on this look in the "Bazooka Accuracy" thread by Ammo Sgt.

I vote we use v7.1.

I don't like are units because of the free scouting attributed to it.

I thought AmmoSgt said we should play with no restrictions on purchases other than the prelaid mines.

i play either. doesn´t matter for me

>>I don't like are units because of the free scouting attributed to it.

okay. no air then.

>>I thought AmmoSgt said we should play with no restrictions on purchases other than the prelaid mines.

if the other´s agree i agree, too

on the bigger and more open maps it will hopefully be a more tactical game than the "no restrictions slaughter" game i´m playing against vath
:D

viking ? your opinion ? hope you are prepared to give rbrunsmans GI´s a beating ;)

Your other post had me as the Germans. Now you have me as the US. Which is it? I don't care.

I just finished my H2Hfr download, I only have to figure out how I'll get it to my computer at home (I am visiting my parents house and am abusing their connection :) )

I'll propably have to burn it on CD or something. Anyway I'm now ok for both H2H and 7.1.

I thought that the idea was to allow everyone to use their points as they like, so I vote for this. No air though.

I'd like to apply for the open German Newbie position. My vote would be for v7.1 rather than H2H, but I could do either. Just lemme know what to do :)

I'm interested.

What is the battle date?

I can only play 7.1.

With only 5,000 points I'd prefer the smallest of the maps.

okay. closed !

this will be the games:

vets: viking ( ger ) vs. rb

exp: frank w. vs. krec
( which side do you want, krec ? )

newbies: maniacalmonkey ( ger ) vs. sonni

terms should be clear, too:

map that get´s most votes
good vis.
good weather
rarity off
no air
no buying restrictions
command off
no prelaid mines

it seems most ppl. favor 7.1 before
H2H - perhaps we have luck and
the new update will be there in a
few days (?) so we can use this to
make shure all have the same oob +
version.

players should contact each other to
swap e-mail adresses..

have a nice weekend, gents and
prepare for battle.

hello vahauser:

we can of course make a 4th battle.
that would be good, if we want to
get a kind of winner of the contest.
so the winners ( if not draws ) of the 4 battles play another match ( but than with the other side ! ).

and the winners of these play for the AMMO SGT CHAMP title !!


in which category do you will fit, mr. vahauser ??

just select + vote the map you like most !

date ? juli or aug 44 ?
length of battle ? 25- 30 turns ?

bye

25 turns should suffice for the pride of the Fatherland to kick the stinking Yanks out of the Reich :D

I'll get in touch with Sonni right after I'm done polishing my Iron Cross.

Frank; I tested the map (#3) and it seems that troops are falling back in the wrong direction (ie. towards the enemy!). Are you sure you've set it up right?

yep. noticed this , too.

it´s not my fault the game does this.

the default should be US on the left + Ger on the right side. sometimes the game changes this and even set´s the reeinforcement + retreat hexes on the wrong side.

must try something out.........

it seems pbm´s don´t work right with
pre designed maps.
if no one knows a solution to this we must
use normal random maps. these should be 100x140 or 100x160 similar to ones i posted. that´s means quite open maps with space to manouver... but i thinkt he game selects quite good maps for france 44 battles.

let´s start this !

i hope the other players are in conatct already ?

pls. post if you are ready !

i will then make a 1st post for every pair in the DAR/AAR section where the players report the going of the games.

I e-mailed Sonni and eagerly await the start of the slaughter!

Wait...

Why are my company CO's trying to sneak out the back door?
